Ayah 89

وَدُّواْ لَوۡ تَكۡفُرُونَ كَمَا كَفَرُواْ فَتَكُونُونَ سَوَآءٗۖ فَلَا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءَ حَتَّىٰ يُهَاجِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوۡاْ فَخُذُوهُمۡ وَٱقۡتُلُوهُمۡ حَيۡثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمۡۖ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ وَلِيّٗا وَلَا نَصِيرًا

89. They wish that you should also become infidels as they became disbelievers [277], so that you may all become equals. Then take not any of them as your friends [278] unless they leave their homes (migrate) in the way of Allah [279]. Then if they turn back (to enmity), then seize them and kill them wherever you find them [280]. And take not any of them as friends or helpers [281].

وَلَأُضِلَّنَّهُمۡ وَلَأُمَنِّيَنَّهُمۡ وَلَأٓمُرَنَّهُمۡ فَلَيُبَتِّكُنَّ ءَاذَانَ ٱلۡأَنۡعَٰمِ وَلَأٓمُرَنَّهُمۡ فَلَيُغَيِّرُنَّ خَلۡقَ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَن يَتَّخِذِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ وَلِيّٗا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ خَسِرَ خُسۡرَانٗا مُّبِينٗا

119. And I will certainly lead them astray, and I will arouse in them (sinful) desires [361] and will command that so they will cut the ears of cattle [362], and I will command that so they will change the creation of Allah [363].

125. And who is better in religion than the one who submits his face (entire being) to Allah [373], while being a doer of good [374], and follows the religion of Ebrahim, who was upright (and separate from every falsehood) [375]. And Allah took Ebrahim as His intimate friend [376].

50. And remember when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they all prostrated except Iblis. He was of the jinn [118] and defied the command of his Lord.

يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ لَا يَفۡتِنَنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ كَمَآ أَخۡرَجَ أَبَوَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنۡهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوۡءَٰتِهِمَآۚ إِنَّهُۥ يَرَىٰكُمۡ هُوَ وَقَبِيلُهُۥ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا تَرَوۡنَهُمۡۗ إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ أَوۡلِيَآءَ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ

27.O children of Adam! Let not the devil deceive you as he expelled your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their shame [51].

This is inscribed (17) in the Book.
