Quran 8:73~74 (Ayah al-Anfal)
As for the disbelievers, they are guardians of one another. And unless you ˹believers˺ act likewise, there will be great oppression and corruption in the land. Those who believed, migrated, and struggled in the cause of Allah, and those who gave ˹them˺ shelter and help, they are the true believers. They will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ بَعْضٍ ۚ إِلَّا تَفْعَلُوهُ تَكُن فِتْنَةٌۭ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌۭ كَبِيرٌۭ ٧٣ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَهَاجَرُوا۟ وَجَـٰهَدُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاوَوا۟ وَّنَصَرُوٓا۟ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّۭا ۚ لَّهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌۭ وَرِزْقٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ ٧٤

“O you who believe” (Ayah 15; 20; 24; 28; 29; 46)
جو لوگ منکرِ حق ہیں وہ ایک دوسرے کی حمایت کرتے ہیں اگر تم یہ نہ کرو گے تو زمین میں فتنہ اور بڑا فساد برپا ہو گا ﴿۷۳﴾ جو لوگ ایمان لائے اور جنہوں نے اللہ کی راہ میں گھر بار چھوڑے اور جدوجہد کی اور جنہوں نے پناہ دی اور مدد کی وہی سچے مومن ہیں ان کے لیے خطاؤں سے درگزر ہے اور بہترین رزق ہے ﴿۷۴﴾
