60:1  O you who have believed, do not take MY enemies and your enemies as allies, reaching out to them out of your affection, while they have already disbelieved in what has come to you of the Truth, driving out the Messenger and you all [on account] that you believe in Allah, your Rabb. [Do not take MY enemies and your enemies as allies] if you have come out to strive in MY way, and in attainment of MY assent. You confide unto them with the affection [you have for them]. And I am most knowing of what you conceal and what you make known. And whoever among you does so— he then will have strayed from the confines of the Way.

60:2  If they encounter you, they will be enemies to you, and will unleash their hands and tongues at you, with the worst malice. And they have longed that you would disbelieve.

60:3  Neither your family ties nor your children will benefit you on the Day of Resurrection. HE will decide between you. Allah is all-seeing of what you do.

60:4  You already have a beautiful model [to aspire to] in Abraham and those with him, when they said to his people, “We are liberated from you and what you worship short of Allah. We have rejected what you are about, and between us and you have arisen the [evident] hostility and hatred which is to last until you believe in Allah and HIS ONENESS.” Exception was the saying of Abraham to his father, “I will surely ask Allah for forgiveness for you, though I have no power from Allah to do anything for you.” [They prayed], “Our Rabb, upon YOU have we relied, and unto YOU have we resorted and unto YOU is the journey’s end.

60:5  Our Rabb do not make us a test [that leads to punishment] for those who disbelieve, and forgive us, our Rabb. Surely, YOU alone are the Almighty, the ever Wise.”

60:6  There is indeed for you in them [Abraham and his people] a good model [to aspire to]— for anyone who pins hope on Allah and the Last Day. And as for the ones who turn away, [it is to their detriment] for indeed, Allah is the Self-Sufficient One, the One worthy of all praise.

60:7  Allah makes it possible, HIS placing of affection between you and the ones among them with whom you are in enmity. Allah is almightily able, and Allah is forgiving, ever merciful.

60:8  Allah does not forbid you concerning the ones who do not fight you over Faith and were not engaged in expelling you from your homes, that you extend genuine care to them and deal fairly with them. Surely, Allah loves the just and fair.

60:9  Allah forbids you concerning the ones who have fought you because of [your] Faith, and have expelled you from your homes, and have lent support on your expulsion, that you take them as allies. And whosoever allies with them— those are the wrongdoers.

60:10  O you who believe when believing women come to you as emigrants, then test them [for their veracity, realizing that] Allah best knows about their Faith. So, if you come to know them as believers, then do not turn them back to the disbelievers. The [believing women] are not lawful to [the disbelievers] and neither are [the disbelievers] lawful to the believing women. And give to [the husbands they left] what they have spent [on the wives who wish to leave them]. And there is no offense attributable to you that you marry them upon giving them their rightful due. And do not hold on to ties with disbelieving women [who want to leave you] and ask for what you have spent on them and let them [i.e., the husbands abandoned by the believing women] ask what they have spent. That is the command of Allah— HE judges between you. Allah is ever knowing, all-wise.

60:11  If something of your spouses has eluded you to [end up with] the disbelievers, then you in turn get [to claim something of the disbelievers]— then give to [the believers] whose spouses had left them, the equivalent of what they had spent. Be ever conscious of Allah— the One in WHOM you are believers.

60:12  O Prophet, when believing women come to you to pledge unto you, that they will not associate any partners with Allah, and they will not steal, and they will not commit adultery, and they will not kill their children, and they will not come up with any slander which they craft between their hands and their feet, and they will not disobey you in any fair and just matter— then accept their pledge and ask Allah for their forgiveness. Verily, Allah is forgiving, ever merciful.

60:13  O you who have embraced Faith, ally not with a people with whom Allah is indignant. They [who are taken as allies, and those who ally with them], have given up hope of the Hereafter, just as the disbelievers have given up hope of [meeting] the inhabitants of the graves.
