O Believers! Do not make friends with My enemies and your enemies. You communicate to them information because of (your) friendship whereas they just deny the very Truth that has come to you. They drive out the Messenger [blessings and peace be upon him] and you (from your land) because you believe in Allah, your Sustainer. If you have set out to fight in My Way (for the uplift of noble cause) and seek My pleasure (then do not have friendship with them). You send them secret messages of friendship while I know best what you hide and what you make known. And whoever of you does this (misdeed) has deviated from the straight path.
