Disbelievers Love and Support Manifestations
1- Resembling them in their clothing and speaking etc., the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, -meaning- “He who resembles disbelievers shall be considered as one of them”.
2- Residing in their countries with the intention not to move to the Islamic countries for the purpose of performing Religious rituals, Allah (swt) said, -meaning- {When angels take the souls of those who die in sin against their souls, they say: “In what (plight) were you?” They reply: Weak and oppressed were we in the earth.” They say: “Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to move yourselves away ( from evil )? “ Such men will find their abode in Hell, what an evil refuge! Except those who are (really) weak and oppressed, men, women, and children who have no means in their power, nor (a guide spot) to direct their way. For these, there is hope that Allah will forgive: for Allah does blot out (sins) and forgive again and again}. Therefore, Allah did not excuse those who stay in the disbelievers’ countries except for those who are deemed weak and can not emigrate. As well as those who can achieve by their stay a Religious benefit such as invoking Allah and teach Islam.
3- Travelling to their countries for the purpose of recreation and self-amusement is prohibited unless necessary such as medical treatment, commerce, or teaching on the condition that he should show his Islamic identity far away from corrupted places.
4- Their support against Muslims, praising them and defending their dignity is one of the contradicting aspects to Islam and a main reason for apostasy.
5- Calling them for help and trusting them, in addition to inaugurating them in positions where they can know Muslims’ secrets, Allah (swt) said, -meaning- {O you who believed! Take not into your intimacy those outside your ranks: they will not fail to corrupt you. They only desire your ruin: rank hatred has already appeared from their mouths and what their hearts conceal is far worse. We have made plain to you the Ayat (Signs), if you have wisdom. Ah! You are those who love them, but they love you not, though you believe in the whole of the Book, when they meet you, they say, “We believe”, but when they are alone , they bite off the very tips of their fingers at you in their rage. Say (O Muhammad (saw): “Perish in your rage; Allah knows well all the secrets of the hearts. “ If aught that is good befalls you, it grieves them; but if some misfortune overtakes you, they rejoice at it}.
6- Historiography according to their occasions and feasts, such as Christmas.
7- Sharing them in their feasts, helping them in their celebrations, or greeting them for their occasions are also other manifestations.
8- Praising them and glorifying what they have achieved, such as honoring their civilization, admiring their manners, and respecting their skills without considering their spoiled doctrines and false religion. However, this does not mean that Muslims should not learn armament, manufacture, and economy constituents, but rather it is demanded, Allah swt) said, -meaning- {Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power}, and said, -meaning- {Say (O Muhammad (saw): Who has forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of Allah, which He has produced for His servants, and the things, clean and pure, (which He has provided) for sustenance? Say (O Muhammad (saw): They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely for them on the Day of Judgment}.
9- Name by their names.
Calling forgiveness and Mercy for them, Allah (swt) said, -meaning- {It is not allowable, for the Prophet and those who believed, that they should pray for forgiveness for Pagans, even though they be of kin, after it is clear to them that they are companions of the Fire}.
