The Summary/Theme of Surah Al-Mumtahanah:

Befriend not those who are enemies of Allah and Muslims. The Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH) and his companions are excellent examples for believers. The Surah was revealed after the Treaty of Hudaybiyah and before the conquest of Makkah.

Lessons Learned from Al-Mumtahanah:

1. Do not befriend the enemies of Allah.
2. Allah is most aware of what we conceal and what we make apparent.
3. If Allah decides to punish you in the Hereafter due to your deeds, no relations or offspring can benefit you in any way.
4. For us in Ibrahim (عليه السلام) is the best example in announcing innocence from the disbelievers and their disbelieving creed.
5. Make this du'a often:
   اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ وَنَحْنُ لَكَ وَحْدَكُمْ وَنُصَارِفُ وَلَا نُفَارِقُ رَبَّنَا وَنُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَاللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِي جِهَادٍ حَتَّىٰ نَقْتُلَ فِيهِ وَيَكُفُّ عَنَّا عَذَابَكُ
6. ‘O our Rabb! In You alone we trust, and to You alone we turn for help, and to You is the final return. Our Rabb! Do not make us persecuted by those who disbelieve, and our Rabb! Forgive us, You, only You, are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.’ (60:4-5)
7. Allah does not prohibit doing good and justice to those who do not fight the Muslims.
8. Allah only prohibits befriending those who fight the Muslims on the basis of their religion, exile them, or help others in doing so.
