3:28
لا يتخذ المومنون الكافرين اولياء من دون المومنين ومن يفعل ذالك فليس من الله في شيء الا ان تتقوا منهم تقاة ويحذركم الله نفسه والى الله المصير ٢٨
لَّا يَتَّخِذِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ فِى شَىْءٍ إِلَّآ أَن تَتَّقُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ تُقَىٰةًۭ ۗ وَيُحَذِّرُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسَهُۥ ۗ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ٢٨

Believers should not take disbelievers as guardians instead of the believers—and whoever does so will have nothing to hope for from Allah—unless it is a precaution against their tyranny. And Allah warns you about Himself. And to Allah is the final return.

“a protective measure”

Explanation

These readings represent two different verbal noun equivalents of ittiqā’: they are identical in meaning. Each may be interpreted as a cognate accusative or as a direct object (i.e. ‘a thing to protect against’) [al-Alusi]. *NB: the first is recited by some with greater or lesser imālah.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
