> SURA LX (60) - She Who is Tried     (Medina - 13 Verses)          (CX - 465)   
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        O ye who believe! take not my foe and your foe for friends, shewing them
> kindness, although they believe not that truth which hath come to you: they
> drive forth the Apostles and yourselves because ye believe in God your Lord!
> If ye go forth to fight on my way, and from a desire to please me, and shew
> them kindness in private, I well know what ye conceal, and what ye discover!
> Whoso doth this hath already gone astray from the even way.
>  
>        If they meet with you they will prove your foes: hand and tongue will
> they put forth for your hurt, and will desire that you become infidels again.
>  
>        Neither your kindred nor your children shall at all avail you on the day
> of resurrection.  A severance between you will it make! and your actions doth
> God behold.
>  
>        A good example had ye in Abraham, and in those who followed him, when
> they said to their people, "Verily, we are clear of you, and of what ye worship
> beside God: we renounce you: and between us and you hath hatred and enmity
> sprung up for ever, until ye believe in God alone."  Yet imitate not the
> language of Abraham to his Father, "I will pray for thy forgiveness, but not
> aught shall I obtain for thee from God."  O our Lord! in thee do we trust! to
> thee do we turn! to thee we shall come back at the last.
>  
>        O our Lord! expose us not for trial to the unbelievers, and forgive us:
> for thou art the Mighty, the Wise!
>  
>        A good example had ye in them, for all who hope in God and in the last
> day.  But let who will turn back, God truly is the Rich, the Praiseworthy!
>  
>        God will, perhaps, establish good will between yourselves and those of
> them whom ye take to be your enemies:  God is Powerful: and God is Gracious,
> Merciful.
>  
>        God doth not forbid you to deal with kindness and fairness towards those
> who have not made war upon you on account of your religion, or driven you forth
> from your homes: for God loveth those who act with fairness.
>  
>        Only doth God forbid you to make friends of those who, on account of
> your religion, have warred against you, and have driven you forth from your
> homes, and have aided those who drove you forth: and whosoever maketh friends
> of them are wrong-doers.
>  
> 60:10  O Believers! when believing women come over to you as refugees
> (Mohadjers), then make trial of them.  God best knoweth their faith; but if ye
> have also ascertained their faith, let them not go back to the infidels; they
> are not lawful for them, nor are the unbelievers lawful for these women.  But
> give them back what they have spent for their dowers.  No crime shall it be in
> you to marry them, provided ye give them their dowers.  Do not retain any right
> in the infidel women, but demand back what you have spent for their dowers, and
> let the unbelievers demand back what they have spent for their wives.  This is
> the ordinance of God which He ordaineth among you: and God is Knowing, Wise.
>  
>        And if any of your wives escape from you to the Infidels from whom ye
> afterwards take any spoil, then give to those whose wives shall have fled away,
> the like of what they shall have spent for their dowers; and fear God in whom
> ye believe.
>  
>        O Prophet! when believing women come to thee, and pledge themselves that
> they will not associate aught with God, and that they will not steal or commit
> adultery, nor kill their children, nor bring scandalous charges, nor disobey
> thee in what is right, then plight thou thy faith to them, and ask pardon for
> them of God: for God is Indulgent, Merciful!
>  
>        O Believers! enter not into amity with those against whom God is
> angered; they despair of the life to come, even as the Infidels despair of the
> inmates of the tombs.
