What is your understanding or translation of 3:118??
-
{3118}
Peace be with you
-
O Those Who believe, Do not take/accept contendedness/gratification(mental) from other than yourselves. They don't have anything for you, but corruption/confusion/hindrance/ruin.
What they wish will distress you OR They wish what distresses you. (not sure which version is grammatically correct but they both seem ok in the context of the verse)
Indeed the hatred from their mouths/discourse has become apparent and what is concealed inside their chests is even greater.
Certainly we made clear for you signs if you use reason.
-
O those people/you who proclaim to have accepted-become believers, listen;
You should consciously avoid associating people other than your community as soul mates. They are never reluctant and will not spare exploiting your weakness. They yearned that you felt distressed.
The grudge, hatred and resentment has become evident by their utterances. And what their chests are concealing is much greater than their evident resentment.
Indeed, We have explicitly explained for you people Aaya'at Unitary Verbal Passages of Qur'aan provided you people objectively analyze-think critically. -
Peace.
O you who believe, do not befriend outsiders( that are hypocrites!) who never cease to wish you harm; they even wish to see you suffer. Hatred flows out of their mouths and what they hide in their chests is far worse. We thus clarify the revelations for you, if you understand.

GOD bless .
Peace. -
Ok thank you for the answers
has many meanings friends, association, affair, bound, bodyguard and in another form it also means abdomen ()
Now what I questioning is / beside yourself which I believed "other than muslims"
This verse told about do not take from .
So who is pointing to? non muslims? hypocricy?Ok let's us be critic!!
Some muslims live in a multicultural, multireligious societies and some of them already integrated well with the people from any different backgrounds.In this kind of society some moslems and non-moslems involved in some associations, became friends or involved together in some bussiness affairs.
If we see as non muslims like in verse 551 then how can muslims belong to that society??
