Al-Ma'idah (The Table)
Surah 5 · Verse 54
O you who believe! If anyone among you turns back from his religion (Islam), then Allah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him, humble towards the believers, mighty over the infidels, striving in the way of Allah and not fearing the blame of anyone who blames. That is the grace of Allah, He gives it to whom He wills, and Allah is Omnipresent (Ample giving), Knowing.
Believers are warned not to turn away from Islam, they are asked to choose as friends only Allah (SWT), His messenger (PBH) and other believers so as to be victorious. The reasons for forbidding friendship with others are given.
