As Salaamu Alaikoum,
Praise be to Allah.
“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as awliya’ (friends, protectors, helpers, etc.), they are but awliya’ to one another…” [al-Maa’idah 5:51].
“…And if any amongst you takes them as awliya’(friends, protectors, helpers), then surely he is one of them.” [al-Maa’idah 5:51].
“You will not find any people who believe in Allaah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger…” [al-Mujaadilah 58:22]
“O you who believe! Take not as (your) bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made clear to you the aayaat (proofs, evidence, verses), if you understand. Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures [i.e., you believe in the Tawraat and the Injeel, while they disbelieve in your Book (the Qur’aan)]. And when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe.’ But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage. Say: ‘Perish in your rage. Certainly Allaah knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets).’ If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it…” [Aal ‘Imran 3:118-120].
It is clear from these Ayats of Quran that we are ordered by Allah to not take the unbeleivers as friends. This means, Refering to them for judgement, Befriending them, relying upon them, taking them as support, helping them against the Muslims, becoming members of their societies, joining their parties, increasing their numbers, taking their nationalities (except in cases of necessity), serving in their armies or helping to develop their weapons, bringing their laws and rules to the Muslim countries, compromising with them and being nice to them at the expense of one’s religion, and trusting them and taking them as advisors and consultants instead of the believers.
Seek friendships with people are are like you.. who live live their lives as you .. who believe in what you believe in and these are the Muslims. How can you befriend someone whose existance is the total opposite of yours?? Lets fear Allah and abide by his laws...
AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
