There has already been for you an excellent pattern in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people, ‘ Indeed, we are disassociated from you and from whatever you worship other than Allah.

Our Lord, upon You we have relied, and to You we have returned, and to You is the destination.

And if you know them to be believers, then do not return them to the disbelievers; they are not lawful [wives] for them, nor are they lawful [husbands] for them. But give the disbelievers what they have spent. And there is no blame upon you if you marry them when you have given them their due compensation. And hold not to marriage bonds with disbelieving women, but ask for what you have spent and let them ask for what they have spent. That is the judgement of Allah; He judges between you. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty or those who come to you, their hearts strained at [the prospect of] fighting you or fighting their own people.

And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.’
