 ==Qur'an==
-===Do not befriend non-Muslims===
+===Do not take non-Muslims as intimate friends or guardians===
-{{Quote|{{Quran|3|118}}|O you who believe! '''do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people;''' they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand.}}
-{{Quote|{{Quran|4|144}}|O ye who believe! '''Take not for friends unbelievers rather than believers:''' Do ye wish to offer Allah an open proof against yourselves?}}
+A word common in many of these verses is awliyaa (plural of وَلِيٌّ [http://www.studyquran.org/LaneLexicon/Volume8/00000314.pdf waliyyun], from which we also have 'wali' - the male guardian of a female). It is often translated as friends and protectors, or allies.
-{{Quote|{{Quran|5|51}}|O ye who believe! '''take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends''' and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. ''And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them.'' Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|3|28}}|Let not believers take disbelievers as allies [awliyaa] rather than believers. And whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to Allah is the [final] destination.}}
-{{Quote|{{Quran|5|57}}|O Ye who believe! Choose not for guardians such of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers.}}
-{{Quote|{{Quran|60|4}}|'''There is for you an excellent example (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah: we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone":''' But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Goal.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|3|118}}|O ye who believe! Take not for intimates [bitanatan] others than your own folk, who would spare no pains to ruin you; they love to hamper you. Hatred is revealed by (the utterance of) their mouths, but that which their breasts hide is greater. We have made plain for you the revelations if ye will understand.}}
-===Forsake your non-Muslim family members===
+{{Quote|{{Quran|4|139}}|Those who chose disbelievers for their friends [awliyaa] instead of believers! Do they look for power at their hands? Lo! all power appertaineth to Allah.}}
-{{Quote|{{Quran|9|23}}|O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers.}}
-{{Quote|{{Quran|58|22}}|'''You shall not find a people who believe in Allah and the latter day befriending those who act in opposition to Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their (own) fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kinsfolk;''' these are they into whose hearts He has impressed faith, and whom He has strengthened with an inspiration from Him: and He will cause them to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein; Allah is well-pleased with them and they are well-pleased with Him these are Allah's party: now surely the party of Allah are the successful ones.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|4|144}}|O you who have believed, do not take the disbelievers as allies [awliyaa] instead of the believers. Do you wish to give Allah against yourselves a clear case?}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|5|51}}|O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors [awliyaa]: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|5|57}}|O Ye who believe! Choose not for guardians [awliyaa] such of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|6|70}}|Leave alone [dhari] those who take their religion to be mere play and amusement, and are deceived by the life of this world. But proclaim (to them) this (truth): that every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts: it will find for itself no protector or intercessor except Allah: if it offered every ransom, (or reparation), none will be accepted: such is (the end of) those who deliver themselves to ruin by their own acts: they will have for drink (only) boiling water, and for punishment, one most grievous: for they persisted in rejecting Allah.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|28|86}}|28:86 Thou hadst no hope that the Scripture would be inspired in thee; but it is a mercy from thy Lord, so never be a helper [thaheeran] to the disbelievers.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|60|4}}|'''There is a goodly pattern for you in Abraham and those with him''', when they told their folk: Lo! we are guiltless of you and all that ye worship beside Allah. We have done with you. '''And there hath arisen between us and you hostility and hate for ever until ye believe in Allah only''' - save that which Abraham promised his father (when he said): I will ask forgiveness for thee, though I own nothing for thee from Allah - Our Lord! In Thee we put our trust, and unto Thee we turn repentant, and unto Thee is the journeying.}}
+===Do not take your non-Muslim family members as guardians, and disassociate from them and do not love them if they are enemies of Allah===
+{{Quote|{{Quran|9|23}}|O ye who believe! take not for protectors [yatawallahum] your fathers and your brothers if they love infidelity above Faith: if any of you do so, they do wrong.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|9|24}}|Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight - are dearer [ahabba] to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|9|113}}|It is not for the Prophet, and those who believe, to pray for the forgiveness of idolaters even though they may be near of kin (to them) after it hath become clear that they are people of hell-fire.}}
+{{Quote|{{Quran|9|114}}|And Abraham prayed for his father's forgiveness only because of a promise he had made to him. '''But when it became clear to him that he was an enemy to Allah, he dissociated himself from him:''' for Abraham was most tender-hearted, forbearing.}}
+(see also 60:4 above, where it says Abraham is a good example to follow).
+{{Quote|{{Quran|58|22}}|Thou wilt not find folk who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving [yuwaddoona] those who oppose Allah and His messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brethren or their clan. As for such, He hath written faith upon their hearts and hath strengthened them with a Spirit from Him, and He will bring them into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide. Allah is well pleased with them, and they are well pleased with Him. They are Allah's party. Lo! is it not Allah's party who are the successful?}}
