O believers, do not take My enemies and yours as allies, showing them affection by sharing news of Muhammad, when they deny the truth brought to you. They expelled the Messenger and you for believing in God, your Lord. If you strive in My path and seek My pleasure, do not secretly share news with them out of affection. I know what you hide and reveal. Whoever does this has strayed from the straight path

اِنْ يَّثْقَفُوْكُمْ يَكُوْنُوْا لَكُمْ اَعْدَاۤءً وَّيَبْسُطُوْٓا اِلَيْكُمْ اَيْدِيَهُمْ وَاَلْسِنَتَهُمْ بِالسُّوْۤءِ وَوَدُّوْا لَوْ تَكْفُرُوْنَۗ

lan tanfa‘akum arḥāmukum wa lā aulādukum yaumal-qiyāmati yafṣilu bainakum, wallāhu bimā ta‘malūna baṣīr(un).

Your kin and children will not avail you on the Day of Judgment. He will separate you. God sees all you do

قَدْ كَانَتْ لَكُمْ اُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ فِيْٓ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ وَالَّذِيْنَ مَعَهٗۚ اِذْ قَالُوْا لِقَوْمِهِمْ اِنَّا بُرَءٰۤؤُا مِنْكُمْ وَمِمَّا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ ۖ كَفَرْنَا بِكُمْ وَبَدَا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْعَدَاوَةُ وَالْبَغْضَاۤءُ اَبَدًا حَتّٰى تُؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَحْدَهٗٓ اِلَّا قَوْلَ اِبْرٰهِيْمَ لِاَبِيْهِ لَاَسْتَغْفِرَنَّ لَكَ وَمَآ اَمْلِكُ لَكَ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍۗ رَبَّنَا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنَا وَاِلَيْكَ اَنَبْنَا وَاِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيْرُ

Abraham and his followers are a good example for you. They told their people, We disown you and what you worship besides God. We reject your disbelief, and enmity and hatred have arisen between us forever until you believe in God alone, except Abraham’s words to his father, I will pray for your forgiveness, but I cannot avert God’s punishment from you. They said, Our Lord, in You we trust, to You we repent, and to You we return

رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَاۚ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيْمُ

O believers, when believing women migrate to you, test their faith. God knows their belief best. If you confirm they are believers, do not return them to disbelieving husbands. They are not lawful for each other. Pay their husbands the dowry they gave. You may marry them after paying their dowry. God is Forgiving, Merciful

وَاِنْ فَاتَكُمْ شَيْءٌ مِّنْ اَزْوَاجِكُمْ اِلَى الْكُفَّارِ فَعَاقَبْتُمْ فَاٰتُوا الَّذِيْنَ ذَهَبَتْ اَزْوَاجُهُمْ مِّثْلَ مَآ اَنْفَقُوْاۗ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْتُمْ بِهٖ مُؤْمِنُوْنَ
