English Translation of Al-Quran

[05] Surah Al-Ma'idah [The Table Spread With Food]

Ayat 51. O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong­doers and unjust).

Tafseer of Surah Al Ma'idah Ayat 51. O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guide not a people unjust. That is, look not to them for help and comfort. They are more likely to combine against you than to help you. And this happened more than once in the lifetime of the Prophet, and in after-ages again and again. He who associates with them and shares their counsels must be counted as of them.

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Abu Musa Al-Ashari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH)said, "A person will be summoned with the one whom he loves". [Al-Bukhari Book 08, Chapter 73, Hadith # 191].

Another narration is: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) was asked; "What about a person who loves a people but cannot be with them?'' (i..e., either he cannot attain their lofty position of righteousness or that he has not met with them in this life). The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) replied, "A person will be in the company of those whom he loves".

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Ma'idah Ayat 51. O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them” Besides bringing to eminence the high merit of entertaining the love for the pious persons, this Hadith tells us about the Mercy and Blessings of Allah which He will shower upon those who love the pious people. Because of this love, Allah will elevate even the inferior people and include them among those whom He loves. This Hadith also serves a warning that association and love with the impious people is extremely dangerous as one can meet the same bad end which is inevitable for them. May Allah save us from it.

Narrated Aisha (RA):  Some Bedouin people came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "Do you kiss your children?" He said: "Yes". He said: "But we, by Allah, never kiss (our children)".
