یَٓا اَیُّهَا الَّذٖینَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُٓوا اٰبَٓاءَكُمْ وَاِخْوَانَكُمْ اَوْلِیَٓاءَ اِنِ اسْتَحَبُّوا الْكُفْرَ عَلَى الْاٖیمَانِؕ وَمَنْ یَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَاُو𐻾لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo la tattakhithoo abaakum waikhwanakum awliyaa ini istahabboo alkufra AAala aleemani waman yatawallahum minkum faolaika humu alththalimoona

Translations

O you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers

Saheeh International

O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers
