Likewise, the Most High says: ‘You have already had an excellent example in Abraham and those with him when they said to their people, “We disown you and whatever you worship apart from Allah; we reject you, and hostility and hatred have appeared between us and you forever—until you believe in Allah alone.”’ [Q 60:4].

By doing so, one truly follows the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, for Allah has proclaimed: ‘A proclamation from Allah and His Messenger to humankind on the Day of the Greater Pilgrimage that Allah is free of the polytheists—and so is His Messenger.’ [Q 9:3].

Among the strongest bonds of faith is that you love for Allah’s sake, hate for Allah’s sake, show loyalty for Allah’s sake, and show enmity for Allah’s sake, so that in your love, hatred, allegiance, and hostility you seek only what pleases Allah—exalted is He.

The disbeliever’s marriage to a Muslim woman is forbidden, for by explicit text and unanimous agreement a Muslim woman is not lawful for a disbeliever. Allah the Exalted says: ‘O you who believe, when believing women come to you as emigrants, test them; Allah knows best their faith. If you ascertain that they are believers, do not return them to the disbelievers—they are not lawful for them, nor are the disbelievers lawful for them.’ [Q 60:10].

Ibn Qudāmah says in al-Mughnī 6/592: ‘With regard to all disbelievers other than the People of the Book, all the scholars agree that their women and the animals they slaughter are forbidden.’ He also said:
