5. THE THIRD: That whoever is obedient to the Messenger and singles out
Allah with all worship, upon tawheed, then it is not permissible for him
to have friendship and alliance with those who oppose Allah and His
Messenger, even if they are those most closely related to him, and the
proof is the saying of Allah, the Most High: “You will not find any
people who believe I All h and the Last day, making friendship with

ki f i d hi i h
those who oppose Allah and his Messenger, even though they were
their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people);

for such He has written faith In their hearts, and strengthened them with
proofs, light and true guidance from Himself; and we will admit them

party of Allah. Verily, it is the party of Allah that will be the successful.

Know, may Allah direct you to obedience to Him, that the true and
straight Religion, the way of Ibrahim, is that you worship Allah
alone making the Religion purely and sincerely for Him. This is
what Allah commanded all of the people with and it was for this
with,
that He created them. Allah, the Most High, says: “I did not
create jinn and mankind except that they should worship me
