يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓا۟ ءَابَآءَكُمْ وَإِخْوَٰنَكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءَ إِنِ ٱسْتَحَبُّوا۟ ٱلْكُفْرَ عَلَى ٱلْإِيمَٰنِ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّهُم مِّنكُمْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ۝٢٣

English · Saheeh InternationalO you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

German · Bubenheim & ElyasO die ihr glaubt, nehmt nicht eure Väter und eure Brüder zu Schutzherren', wenn sie den Unglauben mehr lieben als den Glauben! Wer von euch sie zu Vertrauten nimmt, das sind die Ungerechten.
