Here you go.
The first Ayah was revealed in Madinah when the Muslims were facing threats left and right in their new fledging community. This included alliances where they were being betrayed by those Christians and Jews who inhabited Madina along with them. The motivation had NOTHING to do with religion but to do with land and economics(an idea that STILL persists to this day among Muslims themselves). That Surah and Ayat were all during that struggling to establish the Islamic community/state and how the other communities(who prior to Islam and the Muslim community would conspire against each other for economic gains). Today the verse still translates in the same vein as "keep your enemies close and your friends closer". Alliances are not friendship, and there is no friendship in diplomacy.Nowhere does it use any Arabic that refers to Isolation. Whosoever preaches that is ignorant and their followers more so.
The second Ayah has NOTHING to do with utter isolation in global alliances or diplomacy. The Ayah refers to to taking on friendship with non-muslims to the extent that you take on their behaviour and take their faults (which are not limited to promiscuous drinking, womanizing, taking on interst in loans etc in the personal sense .. and in a macro sense false ideals, false news and propaganda... etc etc.)..although most Muslims do this today.. exactly what this verse warned against.
Basically it refers to knowing that we as Muslims are seperate identity with our own values that need to be maintained. It means we dont end up making fun with a non-muslim(if they do) if a Muslim decides to stop in the middle of the road to pray. Nowhere does it ask you to be an isolationist or not take on weaponry, knowledge or alliances of convenience when needed. More ignorance if one takes it on the idea that you cannot ally or be general friends in life with non-muslims.
Your third verse too has nothing to do with the need for alliances. As it again refers to the conditions of medina and early Islam and the need to convince Muslims not to heed the ideas of the Torah. I have no idea who in their right minds even considers this relevant to diplomatic convention?
Your have learned the "communal", "social" and "behavioural" aspects of dealing with Jews - good, now expand on that and learn what are instructions for taking them as ally.
Surat Al-Mumtahanah [60:8] - The Noble Qur'an - القرآن الكريم
"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as
allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people."
It is clearly mentioned about alliances and not about social sharing or business engagements or communal set-ups. If your alliance of sharing is for trade, we are happy for Pakistan to establish
trade terms.
Thankfully, there is a recent news which shows you even the "social" and "supportive" face Israel". So even when you are doing trade, you have to be mindful of their venom and games they are playing with us already.
I have this right to question because the Quran is no one's property or Jageedari. You are NO one to claim the authority of Allah to judge lest you claim to be a prophet. Your bravado in these so called claims of reciting verses means trash if you cannot even give references to context of when and why the verse was revealed. Your 100 verses can be matched by an African Grey Parrot whom I can teach all these verses.
@Oscar,
Whenever there is a heat, likelihood is that learning has stopped at that point. I would stand against for a cause but not for learning - so find me on your side and if my words present my humbleness, take it because I mean that.
Allah says Quran is guidance and it is guidance for whoever is willing to learn. So you take its verses, understand what is being said, understand why it is being said and apply that in life. We both know Allah has forbidden us from making Jews and Christians as allies - but now we are trying to find in which situations it might be permissible. It could be trade, it could be medicine or buying olives but they are not our military allies. There was a time when Israel was about to attack our nuclear installations, there was another when they supported India and stood against us in Kargil and recently, they were found backing NGOs creating problems in Pakistan and they openly voted against Pakistan in UN in their attempt to defend them. The list would be longer than memory is able to store.
You want to buy defence equipment you could count on, go on - but that doesn't turn them into an ally. You don't give room to snakes in your house ever.
Does that make any difference ? It would be like N.Korea not recognizing Japan.
