۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ ٱلْيَهُودَ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ ۘ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنْهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

TRANSLITERATION

Yā ayyuhal-ladhīna āmanū lā tattakhidhul-yahūda wan-naṣārā awliyāʾ, baʿḍuhum awliyāʾu baʿḍ, wamay yatawallahum minkum faʾinnahū minhum, innallāha lā yahdil-qawmaẓ-ẓālimīn

ENGLISH TRANSLATION · TALAL ITANI

O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies; some of them are allies of one another. Whoever of you allies himself with them is one of them. God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
