DAY 1189

I see a few Muslims asking this question…

“Can Muslims be friends with non Muslims?”

Then people answer with these verses from the Holy Quran:

O' you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.
(Surat Al-Maidah Verse 51)

O' you who have believed, do not take My enemies and your enemies as allies, extending to them affection while they have disbelieved in what came to you of the truth, having driven out the Prophet and yourselves [only] because you believe in Allah , your Lord. If you have come out for jihad in My cause and seeking means to My approval, [take them not as friends]. You confide to them affection, but I am most knowing of what you have concealed and what you have declared. And whoever does it among you has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.
(Surat Al-Mumtahanah Verse 1)

After this an argument starts that what the Arabic word Wali means in the verse. Some say it means friends but most say no, it means the protector & so on. Those who wants to be friends with them they say it is protector & those who don’t want to be friends with them, says it means friend. Then they give logics that if marriage is allowed with them then why can’t we be friends with them. Now we all know that marriage is allowed with the people of book. The ones who follow the holy books sent by Allah. Nowadays no Christian aur Jewish follow the book. Also only Muslim men can marry the ladies from them, Muslim women are not allowed. This was a way to save ladies from hell that belongs to those religions. We all know that expect Europe, in all the other countries man is always powerful in the family so he can actually convert the lady to Islam not by force but by teaching her gradually. On the other hand, a lady can never try making her husband understand coz men don’t listen to them mostly. So if a lady will try to teach him, she will hear the answer go to hell or shut-up. Where as a man can try making his wife understand & women do listen to them. Although Umer Bin Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) did not like Muslims to marry Non Muslims & he wanted them to stick to Muslim ladies.

Now let’s come back to the main question.

I will not use a reference from Quran or hadees. I will just ask one simple question to that Muslim who ask this question. How come you be a friend with a person who join people with Allah (Do Shirk) & who do not even accept Muhammad SallAllahu Alayhi Wasallam as a Messenger of Allah? How come?? Have your love for Allah & His Messenger only this much that you start making those people friends that are against the teachings of Allah & His Messenger? Have all the Muslims in the world have died that you need to make them your friend? How come for you Allah & His Messenger is not that important but a friendship with them is & you try to find verses & hadees to support your actions so you can make them friends? If your aim is to make them revert to Islam then yes, go ahead & be their friends & try. But this you don’t do. You call them your best friend & share everything with them but you never tell them once that the path they are walking is going to take them to hell. No, you talk on everything but on religion. Even then you call yourself friend to that person. What kind of a friendship is this that you let them walk on the path of hell & don’t even try stopping them? You don’t make friends, you just time pass with them and just for your time pass you make friends with the enemy of Allah & His messenger.

I go and ask any Muslim this question, do you love Allah, do you love Muhammad SallAllahu Alayhi Wasallam and he/she will answer YES but if I ask about their hairstyle or their fashion they will tell you about some movie actor that they copied from.

The Satan plays with our minds. He tells us that Allah will forgive you and this thinking makes us keep doing all evil things and we keep thinking that Allah will forgive us. Dear Muslims, Yes Allah is “The Forgiving” & “The All-Merciful” but at the same time He is also the one Who will punish those who did not follow. So how come you only remember “The Forgiving”? He has 99 names & He has said it in Quran that He will punish & we all know that He only speaks the truth & keeps His promises.
