Abstract

Verses from the Holy Quran prohibit Muslims from friendly relations with non-Muslims. However, some have interpreted such verses as a license for enmity and spiteful behavior of Muslims with infidels, referring to verse 51 of Surah Ma'idah. This research, using library studies and with an analytical-explanatory approach and based on the interpretation of the verses, shows that the central concepts of the mentioned verse are contrary to the aforementioned point of view, and it also indicates the prohibition of friendly relations with non-Muslims, which leads to tendencies A heart connection is given to them, and that also leads to trusting the unbelievers in thought and action. Mentioning the reasons for the prohibition and determining the limits and criteria in these verses is a clear proof of the non-hostile behavior towards non-religionists; Also, many verses of the Qur'an emphasize the establishment of installments and justice, benevolence and justice towards everyone, both Muslims and non-Muslims, which is another proof of the negation of the previous point of view. In this way, it can be said: The verse in question and verses with a similar theme were revealed with the aim of consolidating the beliefs of Muslims and the inviolability of their ranks against the infidels, and it is not necessary to treat non-Muslims inhumanely and violently or to cut ties with them.
