Jumua Khutba: Allah is a Friend, Protector of the Believers
(257) Allah is the Friend of those who believe; He brings them out of darkness into the light.
But the unbelievers have for their friends the taguts who lead them out of the light into darkness; these are the companions of the Fire where they will be immortal.(258)
Have you not seen him who, because Allah had given him sovereignty, defied him by arguing with his Lord?
Ibrahim said: My Lord gives life and gives death.
He said, “I lay down my life and I give my death.”
Ibrahim said: Allah brings the sun from the east, you bring it from the west.
And he who refused to believe was confused.
Allah does not guide those who are unjust.
* [The character alluded to is Nimrod b. Kanan, one of the most powerful sovereigns in history. He had pretensions to divinity and after affirming that he gave life and death he ordered two men to be brought; he killed one and left the other alive, and then said, “I have killed one and another lived.”]
