Introduction โ from Tafheem-ul-Quran
Revealed before the conquest of Makkah, when Hatib ibn Abi Balta'ah secretly wrote to the Quraysh. It draws the line of loyalty โ do not take Allah's enemies as intimate allies โ while permitting kindness and justice toward those who do not fight the believers for their faith; Ibrahim and those with him are the model.
