Maeda 57-58
57- YOU WHO BELIEVE, DO NOT TAKE FOR CLOSE FRIENDS AND ALLIES THOSE WHO MAKE JEST AND MOCKERY OF YOUR RELIGION OF THOSE WHO WERE GIVEN THE BOOK BEFORE YOU AND THE DISBELIEVER, BE PIOUS AND FEAR GOD IF YOU ARE TRUE BELIEVERS.
58- AND WHEN YOU CALL FOR THE SALAH, THEY MAKE JEST AND MOCKERY OF IT, FOR THEY ARE PEOPLE OF UNSOUND MINDS.
Here Allah the Highest is forbidding us from taking for close friends and allies those of the people of the book or disbelievers who make fun and jesting about our Faith. These include those who make mockery of Allah the Highest or our prophet Mohamed prayer and peace upon him. They also mock and make fun of our Salah and Azan.
What they do reflects their real feelings about the Salah and about our religion and Faith in general. There are some of the people of the book and even disbelievers who respect other people’s religion, although not many. However those who’s actions show the mocking and disrespect for our articles of Faith, we should be very weary of.
The prohibition of taking certain people, who have negative feelings about our Faith for close friends and allies, is that close friends and allies usually have access to our life and our private business and our secrets. Those who do not have respect of our faith are not likely to have much respect for us and our privacy. We should not consider them trustworthy.
We also rely on Allies and close friend for our safety and support. It is logical to expect support from people who mock our religion for it is our way of life.
No Muslim should ignore this warning From Allah the Highest, who sees and knows what is inside people and what they hide and reveal.
