60:1

یَٓا اَیُّهَا الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوّٖی وَعَدُوَّكُمْ اَوْلِیَٓاءَ تُلْقُونَ اِلَیْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ وَقَدْ كَفَرُوا بِمَا جَٓاءَكُمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّۚ یُخْرِجُونَ الرَّسُولَ وَاِیَّاكُمْ اَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ رَبِّكُمْؕ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ خَرَجْتُمْ جِهَادًا فٖی سَبٖیلٖی وَابْتِغَٓاءَ مَرْضَاتٖی تُسِرُّونَ اِلَیْهِمْ بِالْمَوَدَّةِࣗ وَاَنَا𐻾 اَعْلَمُ بِمَٓا اَخْفَیْتُمْ وَمَٓا اَعْلَنْتُمْؕ وَمَنْ یَفْعَلْهُ مِنْكُمْ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَوَٓاءَ السَّبٖیلِ

Translations

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

Saheeh International

O ye who believe! Choose not My enemy and your enemy for allies. Do ye give them friendship when they disbelieve in that truth which hath come unto you, driving out the messenger and you because ye believe in Allah, your Lord? If ye have come forth to strive in My way and seeking My good pleasure, (show them not friendship). Do ye show friendship unto them in secret, when I am Best Aware of what ye hide and what ye proclaim? And whosoever doeth it among you, he verily hath strayed from the right way
