60:1
O you who believe, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies extending love to them, when they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth, and when they have driven out the messenger and you just because you believe in God, your Lord. If you have come out to strive in My cause and to seek My consent, why do you show them love secretly? I know best what you conceal and what you declare. Those among you who do this have indeed strayed from the right path.
60:2
If they encounter you, they are your enemies. They extend their hands and tongues against you with evil, and they wish you would disbelieve.
60:3
Neither your relatives nor your children will benefit you. On the Day of Resurrection, He will distinguish between you. God is Seer of what you do.
60:4
A good example has been set for you in Abraham and those with him when they said to their people, "We are innocent of you and what you worship besides God, and we reject you. Animosity and hatred have set in between us and you, and will remain forever until you believe in God alone." An exception to that was when Abraham said to his father, "I will ask forgiveness for you, but I possess no power to help you in any way against God." "Our Lord, in You we trust. To You we turn, and to You is the ultimate destination.
60:5
Our Lord, do not make of us a means for testing those who disbelieved, and forgive us. Our Lord, You are the Dignified, the Wise."
60:6
You have in them a fine example for whoever seeks God and the Last Day. As for those who turn away, indeed, God is the Rich One, the Praiseworthy.
60:7
It may be that God will place love between you and those of them who were your enemies. God is Capable, and God is Forgiver, Merciful.
60:8
With regards to those who have not fought you because of religion, nor driven you out of your homes, God does not forbid you from treating them kindly and being equitable towards them. Indeed, God loves the equitable.
60:9
God only forbids you from taking as allies those who fought you because of religion and drove you out of your homes, and aided in your expulsion. Those who ally themselves with them; they are indeed the transgressors.
60:10
O you who believe, when believing women come to you as immigrants, test them. God knows best about their belief. Then, if you know them to be believers, do not return them to the disbelievers. They are not lawful for them, nor are the disbelievers lawful for them. Return to the disbelievers what they had spent. There is no blame upon you if you marry them, provided you pay them their dowries. Do not keep disbelieving wives. You may ask back what you spent, and they may ask back what they spent. That is God's judgment; He judges between you. God is Knowledgeable, Wise.
60:11
If any of your wives leave you and join the disbelievers whom you have defeated, give those whose wives have left them the equivalent of what they had spent, and reverence God in whom you believe.
60:12
O you prophet, if the believing women come to you pledging allegiance to you that they will not associate anything with God, nor steal, nor commit adultery, nor kill their children, nor come up with a slanderous claim which they fabricated from between their hands and their legs, nor disobey you in any righteous matter, then accept their pledge of allegiance and ask forgiveness for them from God. Indeed, God is Forgiver, Merciful.
60:13
O you who believe, do not ally yourselves with people with whom God is angry. They have given up on the Hereafter just like the disbelievers have given up on the occupants of the graves.
