In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

60:1

O youwhobelieve(Do) nottakeMy enemiesand your enemies(as) alliesofferingthemlovewhilethey have disbelievedin whatcame to youofthe truthdriving outthe Messengerand yourselvesbecauseyou believein Allahyour LordIfyoucome forth(to) striveinMy wayand (to) seekﱠﱡMy PleasureYou confideto themlovebut I Ammost knowingof whatyou concealand whatﱪﱫyou declareAnd whoeverdoes itamong youthen certainlyhe has strayed(from the) straightpath(1)

O believers! Do not take My enemies and yours as trusted allies, showing them affection even though they deny what has come to you of the truth. They drove the Messenger and yourselves out ˹of Mecca˺, simply for your belief in Allah, your Lord. If you ˹truly˺ emigrated1 to struggle in My cause and seek My pleasure, ˹then do not take them as allies,˺ disclosing secrets ˹of the believers˺ to the pagans out of affection for them, when I know best whatever you conceal and whatever you reveal. And whoever of you does this has truly strayed from the Right Way.

60:2

Ifthey gain dominance over youthey would beto youenemiesand extendagainst youtheir handsand their tongueswith eviland they desireﱿthatyou would disbelieve(2)

If they gain the upper hand over you, they would be your ˹open˺ enemies, unleashing their hands and tongues to harm you, and wishing that you would abandon faith.

60:3

Neverwill benefit youyour relativesand notﲆﲇyour children(on the) Day(of) the ResurrectionHe will judgeﲋﲌbetween youAnd Allahof whatyou do(is) All-Seer(3)

Neither your relatives nor children will benefit you on Judgment Day—He will decide between you ˹all˺. For Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

60:4

Indeed(there) isfor youan examplegoodinIbrahimand thosewith himwhenthey saidto their peopleIndeed, we(are) disassociatedfrom youand from whatyou worshipfrombesidesAllahWe have deniedyouand has appearedbetween usand between youenmityand hatredforeveruntilyou believein AllahAloneExcept(the) saying(of) Ibrahimto his fatherSurely I ask forgivenessfor youbut notI have powerfor youfromAllahofﲾﲿanythingOur Lordupon Youwe put our trustand to Youwe turnand to You(is) the final return(4)

You already have an excellent example in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, “We totally dissociate ourselves from you and ˹shun˺ whatever ˹idols˺ you worship besides Allah. We reject you. The enmity and hatred that has arisen between us and you will last until you believe in Allah alone.” The only exception is when Abraham said to his father, “I will seek forgiveness for you,˹” adding, “but˺ I cannot protect you from Allah at all.” ˹The believers prayed,˺ “Our Lord! In You we trust. And to You we ˹always˺ turn. And to You is the final return.

60:5

Our Lord(do) notmake usa trialfor those whodisbelieveand forgiveusﳐﳑour LordIndeed You[You](are) the All-Mightythe All-Wise(5)

Our Lord! Do not subject us to the persecution of the disbelievers. Forgive us, our Lord! You ˹alone˺ are truly the Almighty, All-Wise.”
