Taleem al Quran 2012 – P03 042D Tafsir Aal-e-Imran 28

was a bIllahi min ash shaytani R rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim.

We will begin from ir 28

lie at the Libyan meno in El kheir Farina, Olia Amin dunya, meaning lead not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than the believers.

Later he will make me known, the believers should not take the believers should not make, they should not adopt who al khair fit in the disbelievers. So the believers should not make disbelievers what earlier, they're close protecting friends mean donate money, other than the believers meaning instead of the believers.

So in other words, the believers over here are being commanded that they must not take the disbelievers as their clothes, protecting friends, and they must only take the believers as their clothes protecting friends.

The word only air is the plural of Willie. And who is already when he is from the root letters, well learn. Yeah. And while he is used for a friend, who is very intimate, very close, you have a very close and special relationship with him. What does it mean by that? It implies two things. That first of all, whenever you need help, whenever you need support, whenever you need assistance, who do you go to your wedding, your clothes, protecting friend, your ally, your patron.

And the second thing that the word wali implies is that when they are in need, when they need your support, when they need your assistance, you also support them, you also help them.

So Awali is someone with whom there is the relationship of more or less, what does more or less I mean, it's wrong Wilaya that you have a close relationship in which both of you are friends to each other. Both of you support each other at any cost, that you are the priority of your friend, that no matter what happens, even if they have to compromise their religion, or their friends, or their family, or their money, or their anything, they will compromise they will sacrifice why? Because they are your close friends.

So over here, Allah subhanaw taala told us that the believers must not take the disbelievers as their close protecting friends, while they are leaving the believers. So what does it mean that they must not take any help from them, nor should they give any help to them?

And notice that layer yet, yet the head is in the third person, it doesn't say like that the fetal all of you should not adopt what is the command later it's in third person. And whenever a command is given in third person or when something is spoken up in a third person, then it implies the seriousness of what is being discussed. Like for example, so that the other person what does Allah say, are Besa What are when he frowned and he turned away when the Prophet said about Islam frowned and turned away from WHO? The blind companion who came to him it hasn't been said that our best stellato later you found and you turned away why because when the addresses through third person

that it makes the address more serious.

So now you're telling me no no caffeine earlier? I mean, dude in what mean in the believers must not take disbelievers as our allies, rather than the believers. Will may have other liquor and whoever does that whoever does what, meaning any believer who takes the disbelievers as their earlier fillet, some in Allah if he che, so then he does not have anything from Allah. He has nothing with Allah. What does it mean by this Falaise Amin Allah efficient mean Allah He has been understood in two ways. That first of all, this means mendini Allah mean Allah means mendini Allah meaning such a person then does not belong to the religion of Allah anymore.

Such a person does not belong to the deen of Allah anymore. He is going to lose his faith.

Secondly, mean Allah He is understood as Meanwhile a Atilla meaning that such a person has no friendship with Allah now. He will lose the support of Allah, he will lose the help of Allah. Because if you think about it, at the time of need at the time

I'm when you need somebody else to support who should you go to your friend or your enemy? Who should you go to your friend? And if you're going to your enemy, what does that mean? That you're going to lose your principles. And you're also going to lose the support of your friends.

For example, your parents tell you don't listen to such and such person. Or, for example, the parents of a particular girl, they advise her do not marry such and such boy. And she says, No, I don't care about what you say, I'm gonna go marry him because I love him. What do the parents say? That if you go marry him, and that's it, you don't notice anyone? Some parents do that. So, similarly, fillet salmon, Allah Hickman che, meaning such a person, he has lost his religion, and secondly, he has lost the help of Allah. Why is this said over here? Because the one who takes help from someone what happens? He becomes loyal to him. So similarly, if a believer takes help from the

disbelievers, what does that mean that he will become loyal to them?

In law, except this is an exception, exception to what exception to taking the disbelievers as close projecting friends, or giving them help. What is that exception? And that that document whom you safeguard from them, that taco is from Taco what does the call mean to take precaution? So you take precaution against them, against who? Against the disbelievers, meaning from their evil. So you are taking precaution from their evil too often, a safeguarding too often is also from the same root as the core Well, Coffea. And to cotton is a must remember the word muster. I told you once before, that it's the main word from which other words are derived.

So two, cotton is a main word just as the core is a Muslim, similarly to cotton is also a Muslim. So and that taco men whom to call, meaning you take precaution against their evil, out of what out of assuring safety and security for yourself. What does it mean by this?

That, for example, if there is a Muslim, who comes in contact with the disbelievers, or he is in such a need, in which he has to show some friendship to them, he has to show Wilaya to them. And if he does not show Wilaya, then his life is in danger, or his property, his security, his safety is in danger.

For example, the Muslims were living in Makkah, if over there, they declared war. They said, You're not friends, we're not going to take out from you. You're not going to help us. That's it. We're at war with you. What does that mean? What would that bring on the Muslims, that intense persecution. Similarly, there is a Muslim who is living in a non Muslim land. And that non Muslim land requires a person that he must swear he must take an oath of allegiance, that He will be faithful, He will abide by the laws, he will do whatever the government tells him to do, he has to do that. Because if he does not, he will not be able to live there isn't, he will not be allowed to live there. And it's

not necessary that everything that the disbelievers tell you to do, while you're living with them, is something that goes against the religion. So if there's something that goes against it, then obviously you don't do it.

So in taking their help, or in giving help in taking their cooperation, or in cooperating with them, it is permissible as long as it does not compromise the deen of a person

as long as it does not affect the deen of a person.

So, while you had little Kamala who NAFSA who What does Allah say over here, that he warns you from himself you have zero is from the root letters here that daddy and daddy is to warn someone about something to make them cautious, with a headlock. So you had little Kamala on epsa who Allah who warns you from himself, meaning He warns you against his punishment, if you take the disbelievers as your close protecting friends, what Allah had mislead and to Allah is the destination. Now, this command that has been mentioned in this ayah needs to be understood properly, because otherwise, a person can very easily misinterpret and misunderstand this command and apply it in a way that is

incorrect, and hence bring harm upon himself upon the society and upon the other Muslims as well. If he does not act upon this command properly.

Now you see when it comes to dealing with the disbelievers, everybody wonders, to what extent are we going to have to do so?

Can we smile it? Can we work with them? Can we invite them over? If they come over? Can we serve them food in our dishes? Now these things

Some people wonder a lot people think about it a lot. So this ayah tells us about what is permissible and what is not.

Now remember, if a person resists I just on the surface, he may think that Muslims are not allowed to make any friends with this believers. Apparently this is what it seems like later hidden meaning of caffeine earlier that the believers should not take the disbelievers as their friends. Apparently, it seems as though Muslims are not allowed to make friends with the disbelievers. And that Islam teaches hatred. This is what people say. But the fact is, that human interactions when it comes to dealing with people, when it comes to interacting with people, there are different levels.

Remember that there are different levels when it comes to dealing with people when it comes to interacting with people.

First of all, there is a level of move assets mean well, a lift seen a lifter, more set.

And was that is to wish well for everybody to benefit everyone, whether they are believers or unbelievers. So basically more set is a relationship that is based upon compassion for one another, that is based upon compassion for one another.

And we know that in our religion, when it comes to doing a person, when it comes to being compassionate, being kind to others to the creation of Allah, then it's not just being kind and compassionate to the Muslims. No, it's about being kind and compassionate to all of human beings, regardless of their age, regardless of their gender, regardless of their religion, their background, their ethnicity, to the extent that even animals, they deserve compassion and care.

So more sad, well, wishing for others, benefiting everyone doing axon upon everyone, this is something that we must do, even to the non believers, this is something that we must show, even to the non believers without any bias, that just because he's a disbeliever, just because he's not a Muslim, you're not going to give him water, if he's thirsty. If he's in trouble, if he needs help, you're not going to help him. For example, if there's a woman who has a child with her, and she's carrying grocery bags, now you're gonna say, Oh, she's a non Muslim, I'm not going to help her, I'm not gonna help her carry her bag. So you can do that no more, I said, is to do your son upon

everybody, regardless of their gender, their age, their background, their religion, everything.

Why?

Because as human beings, we need each other. And when we're living in a society, we need to help each other. So for example, in wasat, what is included, if there is a person who is sick, if there are people in the hospital, what does more Assad require from you, that you go visit the hospital, you go visit those people who are sick. Similarly, there are people who are old. And they're living in such places which are only for old people, for example, and old people too. So part of me was, that is what going there, visiting them, taking something for them, so that they appreciate the time and the help that you're bringing them. Similarly, if you have neighbors, what is more sad require

that you say hi to them, you help them out, you greet them, you don't do anything that hurts them, that creates trouble in their life. For example, if you're mowing your lawn, and their patches only a little bit by your lawn in the front, then you can also do this, why this is more asset. And this is something that we see very common at the time of the profit sort of audits.

For example, we see that after the Battle of battle 70 people of Mecca 70, Michigan, came to Medina as prisoners of war. Where were they kept by the masjid. And we know that the Muslims when they serve them food, what did they serve them?

The best food that the Muslims had. Remember, bread was something very rare in Medina. Rice was unheard of.

Food that is staple for us today. It was unheard of. It was unknown, unfamiliar to them. They did not know about rice. Bread was a rarity. So they gave the fine food that they had to do those people who were prisoners, those people who had come to fight with them, they gave them meat and what did they themselves arrive on? Dates, simple food.

Similarly, we see that when there was a drought that struck MCCA, the Prophet sallallahu wasallam sent food supplies to Makkah, he sent aid to Makkah. Why? Because they are human beings. Okay, find their disability.

yours yes, they are at war with you. Yes, they have hurt you a lot. They have persecuted you a lot. But at the end of the day, they are human beings and if they're dying because of hunger, and you have food, it is your responsibility that you help them that you send it to them.

Similarly, Whenever they will food, the different delegations, they would come to visit the prophets or Allah Islam in Medina, of non Muslims. The prophets of Allah, the Sunnah, He lodged them were

in his Masjid.

What do we say? non Muslims don't come in our Masjid. That's what we say we don't open our doors to them. But the prophets of Allah and Islam, he lodge them in the masjid. He didn't say, oh, because you're non Muslims, you're not believers. Therefore, you can live out in the streets, or you can go back home, you're not welcome here. No, this is more sad if there is a person who was travelling, who has come all the way to meet you, even if he disagrees with you, even if he's your enemy. But because he's a human being, he deserves some kind of treatment, out of that you should provide them a good residence.

Similarly, we see that at the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet SAW Allah doesn't forgive so many people. At the time of our model Delano. When he was a Khalifa, there were many non Muslims who lived in the Islamic Caliphate. But Omar Abdullah, and who he provided stipends to who, to even non Muslims, those who were needy, they were given welfare money, the women, the children that are old. So we see that in USA, when it comes to showing compassion to other people. This is out of humanity. They're human beings, they deserve compassion, they deserve some kind of treatment, this is something that we must do. It's not just something that is recommended. No, it is something that we

must do, we must be affectionate, and kind towards other human beings, regardless of their religion, regardless of their ethnicity, and background. So for example, if somebody comes over to your house, somebody, let's say, there's a person who was working in your house, he's come to fix maybe the kitchen, or the washroom or the stairs or the carpet or something like that. You're not going to give them any food. They've been working for hours, or you're not going to serve them anything.

If you don't, technically, it's fine, because you're paying them the money. But no, I sat requires that you show some compassion to them. If they've been working for a long time, give them a glass of water, give them some nice tea, offer them some fruit, offer them to sit down. But what do we say? non Muslims, not a Muslim?

And besides that, he's not from my country.

And therefore, I'm not going to even smile at this person. I'm not even going to show them any kindness. No, this is something that we must do.

So this is the first level of interacting with people. With regards to this. Remember, that if a person does zoom up on a person just because he's a disbeliever?

If a Muslim oppresses a non Muslim unjustly, then what do we learn about that? For example, we learn from a hadith that is mentioned in Alba hottie that he who killed a the me who is a demon, a non Muslim, who is living in a Muslim land. So he who kills the meat unjustly, will not be able to smell the fragrance of Jana. He will not be able to even smell the fragrance of Jana. Just because he's a non Muslim, you think that his life is halal? You can go kill him for no reason? No, you cannot do that.

So, for example, some people say, Oh, we're in a non Muslim land. So if you're dealing with a non Muslim, and she didn't want me to, he's a Catholic. If you're going to the mall, if you're going to a particular shop if you're going to the grocery store, okay, so you have something there COVID Who cares? Hit them, their coffee, not my child child over coffee. So we put this big label Cafe, and we think that we can deal with them in any way that we want. Forgetting that more sad is something that we must do.

The second level of interaction is off medalla meme dal, Elif Elif medulla

and without is to be good with people when you come in contact with them. When you come in contact with them from data you do to revolve so in your revolving around the same society, and the same shops are on the same stores in the same neighborhood when you come in contact with them. Then without is to be good to people. For example, you go to the mall, you go to a shop, and you're buying something now just because the woman she's a non Muslim, you're not going to say hi to her.

If she asks you something, you can ignore her. She's a non Muslim who cares? I can ignore her I can treat her however I want or you can shout at her. No joke

Just because she's a non Muslim doesn't mean that you don't treat her properly no with Allah is that when you're dealing with someone on a one on one basis, then what should you do? Deal with them properly. Similarly, if you're walking down the street, and you see a person, you see a small child, that is because he's a cafe or she's a catheter, you're not going to smile, you're not going to say hi, no, you should. So, for example, we see that at the time of the Prophet salallahu, salam, there was a Jewish man who came to the Prophet sallallahu Saddam's house, and the Prophet sallallahu wasallam offered him some food without one on one basis interaction. So the Prophet sallallaahu

Salam offered him some food, the Jewish man he ate as well. And then he spent the night over there as well. And he rested on the bed of the Prophet salallahu Salam, and he left it dirty as well. It is said that he forgot his sword. When he left, he forgot his sword. So he came back to us with a sword. And the Prophet said a lot of stuff, we don't say anything to him.

Without

when you're dealing with someone on a one on one basis, because you're human beings, they deserve some kind treatment, some good treatment. So Mudaraba. Also, this is something that we must take care of when we're dealing with the non Muslims. The third level of interaction is more omelettes.

And what is more AMOLED me

when you have to deal with the people for some work. For example, business transaction. Similarly, you're going to school and you have a teacher who is non Muslim, you work somewhere, and your employer is a non Muslim, you go to the hospital, you go to visit the doctor, and the doctor is a non Muslim.

You go to the library, and the librarian is a non Muslim. You sit in the cab, and the cab driver is a non Muslim.

You go on the bus, and the bus driver is a non Muslim. So this is when you come in contact with someone why? Because of some work because I'm more I'm Allah.

So you need to consult a physician, you go to the doctor, and the doctor is a non Muslim, you need to study something, you go to school, and the teacher is a non Muslim. Now just because they're non Muslim, you're not going to deal with them. Just because your professor, your teacher at school is a non Muslim. And they give you homework you say, Oh, who cares? She's a non Muslim. So if she gives me homework, I don't have to listen to her. No. Similarly, if you are sitting in a cab, and the driver is a non Muslim, you're gonna say I can leave whatever garbage here I can just because it belongs to anonymous, and let me just ruin some of it. Because I hate non Muslims. I hate cofell. So

I'm just going to put a bad mark on the seat. I'm going to take dirty shoes inside on purpose deliberately long for non Muslim who cares? No.

More, I'm an artist, when you're dealing with someone for some work, then you deal with them properly.

So for example, if you have to speak with a non Muslim teacher with a non Muslim instructor, if you have to ask a question you should ask, you can ask you can speak to them.

Now, just because they're non Muslim, your religion does not prohibit you from talking to them. For instance, some people will say, Oh, non Muslims, because they don't have human. So don't refer to them at all. Don't ask them anything, because they don't have human. They don't have any alcohol, they don't have any reason. And even if they are the best in their field, still, don't consult them. Don't ask them why non Muslim? No, this is something that goes against our religion.

Similarly, when you have a boss, when you have an employer who is a non Muslim, when you think you can cheat them, just because they're a non Muslim, that is also incorrect. When you are answerable in front of them, what is required that we must be honest, we must be truthful.

We see that the Prophet sallallahu sallam, he had left a security deposit with a Jew in the eye the day after that, when we learned about the Ron do deposit something as a security with the creditor, someone whom you're taking a loan from, to the Prophet sallallahu Sallam did Mamilla with non Muslims as well. He borrowed something from a Jewish man, and he left his sword as Iran This is what Mamilla now just because he's a non Muslim, you're not going to deal with him, no more AMOLED this is also something that is permissible.

Now, the fourth level of interacting with people off relationships with people that is of more or less

from well lamea which is what is being mentioned in this is

the word wali is from the same root as well, what is more than one is close, intimate friendship with someone.

And what happens in this friendship is that you support the other you

You help the other at all costs.

You accept them, you agree with them 100%. And if they want your help, if they want your cooperation, you cooperate with them. 100% Even if that means you have to compromise something,

even if that means you have to leave something, and even if that thing which you have to compromise on, which you have to leave, is the command of Allah, the religion of Allah. This is what morality is. So we see that this relationship of morality includes love for each other, listening to each other, obeying each other, even if it means going against the dean, compromising the dean, and this is something that is forbidden with the disbelievers. We may have more sat with a lot more omelette, all of this is permissible. But when it comes to morality, then this is only for Allah, His Messenger, and the believers, it is not with the disbelievers. Why.

Because when you befriend someone in such a way, that you agree with them, 100% you cooperate with them whenever they want your cooperation? What does that mean? That your dean is going to be compromised? So for example, we learned earlier in Surah, Baqarah, That marrying disbelievers is something that is forbidden. Why? Because when you're married to someone, what does that mean? That you will do what they like, you will do what they do, they're not going to get up from budget, they're not going to pray, they're not going to fast in the month of Ramadan. They're not going to encourage you to recite the Quran, they're not going to encourage you to spend in the way of Allah.

So how are you going to practice your religion, you will not be able to practice your religion. And then part of this relationship is that you agree with them, you approve their actions. So for example, when they're doing *, when they're disobeying Allah, you as a best friend, what are you going to do? Acknowledge it, you're going to allow it, you're going to permit it, you're going to cooperate with them in order to do it. So therefore, this is something that is forbidden.

Now, we see that close friendship with non believers is prohibited for several reasons.

What are those reasons? First of all, because this friendship affects your deen, this friendship, what does it do? It affects everything. It makes you compromise on your religion. It makes you go against your religion. And this is the reason why marriage with the machine is something that is forbidden. What does Allah say over there oolagah the other owner Elon, now, such people they're calling you to the fire. So when you cooperate with them, when you listen to them, you're going to end up doing that which is going to lead you to hellfire. So when you befriend them in such a way, what's going to happen? You're going to compromise your religion. And this is exactly what the Bani

Israel did. Remember in certain bacana in 8485, we learned about the mythique. About the covenant that was taken from the Bani Israel. What was that covenant that you're not going to kill each other? The Bani Israel were told, You're not going to kill your own people. You're not going to expel your own people. You're not going to cooperate with others against your own people. This was a method that was taken from them. But we learned that the Bani Israel especially those tribes who were living in Medina, they had made allies meaning Molalla with who, with the Michigan, the Jews had Meanwhile, as we do with the Michigan and when they had the war, when they had several battles.

What did that mean? They were fighting against their own people.

They were killing their own Muslim brothers and sisters. They expelled them from their homes. And when the battle was over, they went why to pay their rent from unfreedom.

Let me read these verses to you. What is a HUD Namita Coco that is gonna demand a Kamala to reunite and full circle Mindy Ericom curato and Tasha doing so somewhere and somehow ole Dakota Luna and full circle were totally do Nefaria come in come in dare him to La Haruna la him bill if me what are the one where iya Dukkha Masada to find the home Wahoo Omaha Ramana Aleikum if Raja home

so we see that when a person has such a close friendship with the disbelievers. What does that mean? That sometimes you will have to go against your religion. Now the Jews, they had made allies with who, with the Mushrikeen and when you're allies with someone, what does that mean that when they go to war, you go to war with them. When somebody fights them, they also fight you.

So if their allies were fighting

against their Muslim brothers and sisters, what did they do? They went and fought against their own people. This is why this friendship is forbidden. Because it makes a person go against his the, it makes a person compromises the and this is just one example. This can be applied to Salah this can be applied to so many things that if you're going to be friends with them, if you're going to be with them all the time, if they're your best buddies, if they listen to music, you're going to end up listening to it as well. If they go to a party, in which there's a lot of haram, and because you're their best friend, you're going to end up going there as well.

So, such friendship affects the the therefore this friendship is not permissible. Secondly, another reason as to why this friendship is not permissible, is that when a person befriends another, he takes his influence. How, in the habits in speech in lifestyle, what do we learn from the Hadees? That Elmo, Allah Dini, clearly, a person is on the religion of his friend. So whatever your friend does, you will do that as well. You get used to it. So for example, if you hear foul language all the time, what are you going to do? You're going to start using it as well. We see that in our kids, they go to school, and their friends, their children, there are people who are away from the deen

and the language that those kids use the same language our children use as well, so easily, so casually, on every little thing, big big words are coming out of their mouth, and they don't care why? Because for them, it's something so normal. Similarly, when you watch TV, and you're hearing these vowel words all the time, obviously, then something that's going to become very easy for you to say as well. So a person takes influence from his friends. Therefore, a person should be careful that he must not befriend those who are away from the Dean. Those who are against the dean, those who market your dean, those who deny your D. How can you prevent such people? Whatever they do, you

will do as well.

We learn in the Quran. Allah Subhana Allah says, Yeah, you Hello Lena Amanu let the video do who they were NESARA earlier, Barbra womb earlier about women yet I wonder who men can fit in who men home?

What does the ISA we're making yet I wonder who men come for inner who men home or believers do not take the Jews and Christians as close friends. Why? Because they are friends of one another. And whoever befriends them, then surely he is one of them. What does it mean by this, that he will eventually become like them, he will dress like them, you will behave like them, he will talk like them, he will live like them, he will take influence from them. Because all the relationships that we have with people, they affect us in some way or the other. Therefore do not befriend a disbeliever so closely, that their religion their way their practice their habits, they affect you

and you go farther and farther away from your deen.

Another reason as to why friendship with the disbelievers close friendship more or less is forbidden. And what is that reason? That when a person befriends non believers, and he lives with them, he talks with them he in the sense that he interacts with them all the time and he approves of their actions. He promotes their ways he cooperates with them, then he is forgetting his responsibility as a member of the Muslim ummah

as a member of the Muslim ummah, as a Muslim, what is your responsibility that you have to follow your deen and you also have to tell other people about the deen.

But when you are saying to a person, that what you're doing is fine. What you're doing is okay, I approve it. I accept it. I will do it as well with you, then what does that mean? That you're not going to tell them about what they should do and what they should not do? You're going to accept them as they are and you're not going to work on trying to tell them about the deen.

So therefore, this is also one of the reasons as to why more or less with the disbelievers is something that is forbidden.

Another reason is the protection of our iman

remember that all of the commands all of the prohibitions that have been given to us in our day, they serve to achieve some goal. Remember the Mikasa the *tier the goal to the *tier the objective of the shinier, what are the the protection of a person's Dean? So anything that harms the person's Dean or takes them away from

I'm his Dean, then that thing is forbidden.

Or anything that improves the dean of a person, that thing is commanded. It is encouraged.

For example, praying Salah five times a day, the person may wonder why not just once a week, why five times a day? Because praying five times a day makes a person focused on his Deen. Therefore, the commands that have been given in our religion, what do they serve as a means to achieve some goal?

Similarly, when friendship close, intimate friendship is forbidden with the non believers, what's the purpose protection of iman?

What are the other objectives of the *tier

protection of life, which is why murder is forbidden. Similarly, protection of alcohol of intellect, which is why alcohol is forbidden protection of lineage, which is why Xena is forbidden, or that you can't just adopt a child and give him your own name. No, he will still keep the name of his actual father, or in the case of Xena, biological mother. So protection of lineage as well. And also protection of wealth, which is why theft is forbidden. So when Allah subhanaw taala has commanded us that we must not befriend disbelievers in such a way that they influence us in a way that it will take us away from the deen. Why? Why is it so for the protection of our email?

What else can you think? Why else is this type of friendship forbidden? What comes to your mind

it will affect your personal life, it will affect your thinking, your outlook on life, if that person is very materialistic, you're going to become materialistic as well. If their focus is on the benefits of dunya, your focus will become benefits of the new as well even if that means compromising your alpha if they promote taking River or giving riba so you can buy a house so that you can achieve your dream. Similarly, you're going to do the same thing. It makes you live a double life that when you're with them, you do what they approve off. And when you're at home, you do what your family approves of.

And you will not have any confidence in your email in your Islam, that you will think that everything you have to do should meet their standards, because your goal is to please them because that's what only I do. You please each other, you assist each other you support each other all the time you approve of one another. So if your goal is to please them, then how would you have any confidence in your deen you cannot have any confidence. You forget your own identity when you're influenced by them.

And you're depriving yourself of doing something that is better when you're being earlier with them, helping them supporting them cooperating with them in ways that are incorrect. Remember, don't misunderstand what I'm saying no more Let is forbidden. But other than that, all the three levels of interaction that I told you about more set with Bharat Mala Mala, that is something that we must do, that we can do we are allowed to do. And on the Day of Judgment, a person will be with the one whom he loves. So if our love is for those who disobey Allah, who oppose the religion of Allah, where will we be on that day?

Another reason is that when a person befriends his own enemy, what is he doing? He's bringing harm upon himself. Now just imagine the Muslims left Makkah. They came to Medina, why? Because your lives were at risk in Makkah. And in Medina, if they were to befriend the Moroccans, what was that bringing harm upon themselves? So for example, we learned that when the Prophet sallallahu Sallam intended to go and conquer Mecca when he decided to conquer Mecca, what happened was that one of the companions, how to well de la noir and who some of his relatives were still in Makkah. So he was worried about them about their security, about their safety, because obviously there was going to be

an army that is coming to Makkah. So there was going to be conquest. So he was worried about their safety and their security. So he wrote a letter to the people of Makkah, informing them about the Prophet salallahu Saddam's plan, about his intention.

Why? So that he could ashore some security and safety for his family.

And obviously, when he wrote that letter, the intro to burial told the Prophet salallahu Salam who sent some companions a little bit on how to find that woman who was taking the letter, the woman was caught the letter was taken, and obviously the machine they did not find out. And then what happened? Allah subhanaw taala revealed some verses in which we learned that yeah, you have Medina Avenue law that the video or the we were or the walk home earlier, or you will believe Take not My enemies and your enemies as friends.

When a person befriends his enemy, when he goes to him for help and support, then he is harming himself into an earlier one I have 118 We learn? Yeah, you had Latina Avenue, let the little bit monitamon Dooney come, late Luna come Cabella or you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you any ruin.

If you're going to go and tell them about your secrets, about your plans about your goals, you think they're going to cooperate with you know, he's your enemy, he's not going to help you. He's not going to support you. For example, you go tell your non Muslim friend about your goal to do that our study the Quran, are they going to encourage you, not necessarily Salah Luna concanavalin Similarly, we see that if a person befriends the enemies of Allah, those people who are against the deen of Allah, those people who are against the religion of Allah who are opposing the religion of Allah, what is he going to do, he is also going to be influenced, in a way that he will also begin opposing

the religion, leaving the religion disagreeing with the religion, objecting at the deen of Allah, this is something that he will also begin to do. Which is why Allah says that whoever of you does that, then he has nothing with Allah. Meaning is not in the deen of Allah anymore. Because obviously, he is going to get influenced. And he is also going to do the same thing that these people are doing, which is opposing the deen of Allah.

So that's more I'm Allah. But if you take it to a level in which your friendship means that whatever you give me, I will take whatever you say to me, I will do. If I'm wearing hijab and you don't want me to wear hijab in your house, I will do it because you're my friend. That is what, more or less and that is forbidden.

Similarly, just because you're my friend, and whatever you offer me even if it's haram food, I will eat it because you're my best friend, I cannot make you upset. That is something that is forbidden. But if they're offering you something halal, something that is permissible, why not take it.

To summarize the idea when it comes to interacting with the disbelievers, there are different levels, the only thing that is forbidden is such a dealing or such an interaction or such a friendship, that is going to affect your religion, that is going to make you compromise on your religion.

And remember that this is not something that is limited to the non believers only. Even if there is a Muslim, who is telling you to leave your religion go against your religion compromise your deen, are you going to listen to them? No, you're not going to because there is no obedience to the creation and disobedience to the Creator. This is the main lesson of the idea that when it comes to showing compassion to the disbelievers Go ahead, but if their friendship leads you to compromising your religion, doing that which Allah disapproves off, then that is something that is forbidden.

And also remember that when it comes to interacting with them, when it comes to befriending them, that is also that must be done in a limited quantity. Why? Because if you're interacting with them all the time, are they going to mention Allah? Are they going to say subhanallah? Are they going to say Alhamdulillah? Or they're going to say in and Allah who are in LA Rajaram? Are they going to encourage you to do sober? No, your company affects you. And when you are with those people who are righteous, then obviously your outlook in life, your actions, your thinking your behavior will be different.

And if you're sitting and interacting with people all the time, those people who are not Muslim, then you will think like them, you will talk like them, you will behave like them.

But eventually Where are you going after and over there? You have to be answerable for everything you do and you can't put blame on other people that that time.

For example, we learned in the Quran about people who compromise their religion. Why? Just because they're oppressed in the land. They have to do so. They have to listen to the people

Round them because their life is a danger is at risk. So what are the total at the time of death, the angels beat them and they say, Isn't the earth of Allah vast that you could go somewhere else and practice your religion freely. So remember that this dunya is not permanent. We cannot make excuses that because I'm here, because, you know, I'm a non Muslim land. And when I wear hijab, people don't like it. So therefore, I'm not going to wear it. If I go to school, if I pray Salah at the time of Salah people don't like it different will leave my salah, no, you cannot do that. Remember, if their friendship, if affiliation with them, is causing you to compromise on your

religion, even a little bit, even a little bit. It's not in your favor, it's going to be against you. Because this dunya is not eternal. If you link this ayah with the previous verses, what would the previous verses talk about? That Allah is the magical milk? Allah is the medical milk, the Mocha mentorship, one zero mocha women Tasha, what's your resume? Man? Tasha, what are they look, man Tasha. Why is it that we turned to the disbelievers with Malala? Why?

To gain their approval,

to make them accept us, so that they accept us? They appreciate us, they like us, we are so influenced by them, that if we get their sense that they like us, that's it, we're fine. Who is the medical mock? Who is one who gives a who is on what takes or is aware

of muscle strength.

So if you want to go to who go to Allah, not your enemies.

So basically, for a believer, Allah subhanaw taala comes first, his command that comes first. And then comes any other human being.

We have not been told to isolate ourselves and to completely disconnect with the people who we are living with in a society, which is why was that Moodle rot? And why I'm allowed this something that we must do. But if we really understand the meaning of more or less than one that is that your number one? I will leave anything for your sake, I will do anything for your sake. This is something that is forbidden with the disbelievers. Why? Because if they tell you to disobey Allah, are you going to do that? No, you should not. But if you have more or less with them, then you have to. So the point is not to isolate ourselves to completely disconnect with the rest of the society. No,

this is not something that I would then tells us when you're living in a society you should be a beneficial member of the society. And in order to do that you have to do more asset than without often what I'm gonna do you have to deal with the people you cannot isolate yourself. The only thing that is forbidden is more that that is only for the believers.
