    with non believers?

    Personally from my understanding of the Qur'an think yes and yes...

    But something still confuses me, does 'awliya' mean protector or friend?

    I have a male sunni friend...

      You can be friends with the opposite sex but most of the time the guy is probably suppressing his desire to be more than friends

      Quranically there's nothing against being friends with non believers as long as they don't hinder you from serving God
      608 God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.

          Awliaa' can be both things, protector, allies, friends...

          It is not a question of sex, but of personality, and unless we sent a whole sex to another planet, to pretend to aliminate all dangers from life is putting an end to life itself.

          As to believers and non believers... It is not a question of what oneself says, there are very bad people who "are" believers. Does that mean that youc an be their friend because they have the label "believer". And there are also people to believe in truth and justice even if they feel mentally lost about things la God, and other concepts. Are not al-haqq and al-3adl names of God? If a person serves haqq and 3dl is she not serving God?

          Salaam

            Peace Sister...

            Don't take what i am writing as personal here.. but look at in the context of quran...Believer can never be a bad person if He or She is in fact labelled believers as per quran 231-10.. No one can be called as believers unless they are really believers others wise it is only lip service and we unfortunately considered them as believers...
            there could be bad people in Muslims.. that i agree.. But not in believers... while calling one as Believers and calling him or her as bad people is fault of the person who deemed them as believers...

            God guide you
