    Peace

    I agree with Badr. I see term awleya as something different to a friend. I see it more as an associate. Such as an associate in war or anything where the 2 people have to believe in the same cause.

    I mean think about this verse
    O you who believe, do not take you fathers nor brothers as allies if they prefer rejection to belief. And whoever of you takes them as such, then these are the wicked (923)
    Does this mean that you should never talk to your family again if they're not muslim? Of course not. If you read the next few verses you will find that it refers to a war not a cup of coffee

    i personally understand "your awliya" as "those who take decisions for you".

      I haven't studied it properly but this is what I have found out so far. How did you come to this understanding?

        because "awliya" is plural of "wali" wich can be vali or vizir or minister.

          What if you are grown up and make your own?

            understand Let not believers take disbelievers as decision takers in their place.

              I assume that doesn't stand if I am in a road accident and a Christian surgeon needs to make a decision to operate to save my life? Would he need to waste valuable time finding a muslim to make that decision while I was unconscious? ;D

                I know the singular term.
                Again, how did you come to that understanding?

                    Salam.
                    If you look at 4.76, 7.27 and 10.62 Awliyaa means friends. 7.27 in particular talks about the Devils being made friends of the disblievers and not to be tempted by the Devils and there friends. So to be friends with a disbeliever is not impossible but the message seems to be that we must fall on the line of caution when dealing with them, and not to take them into our confidence. So keep it light hearted. Yes?

                    Peace and respect

                          No, no, no, no, I was just making a general question, sister.
                          Don't worry.
                          See, I'm having some issues here regarding non-muslims and also regarding destiny.
                          God knows Best.
                          Glory be to God.

                          Peace.

                              Respect.

                              I'm using humor these days to surpress the depression that's been killing me.
                              I was deported and banned from USA and it's not my fault.

                              I'm praying and hoping.
                              Just like in 2006.
                              God knows Best.

                              Peace.

                                      Why are you so agressive ? especially the women -\

                                      I found harsh to cut the man with an "off topic" while he said he's depressed, muslims are supposed to help themselves.
