Summary of Sunni concepts
The difference between tolerance and loyalty
Some people confuse loyalty to the enemies of God with what is forbidden
And tolerating them may bring harm or benefit
Or in order to achieve justice and redress, even with enemies
God Almighty said
O you who have believed, be upholders of God, witnesses to justice
And do not let the hatred of other people force you to be unjust
Be just, it is closer to piety
And he said, “God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion.”
They did not expel you from your homes so that you would treat them kindly and be just
God loves those who are just
Loyalty to the infidels is one thing
Being fair to them and tolerating them is another thing
However, some Muslims are confused about it
Those who lack a pure understanding of the doctrine and its truths
They also lack intelligent awareness of the nature of the battle with infidels and hypocrites
They ignore those beneficial Qur’anic directives
Which forbids loving the unbelievers and being friends with them
And command to beware of them
Because they do not realize the difference between Islam’s call for tolerance in treating non-combatant infidels
And their righteousness in the Muslim community
Especially those closest to them
As well as tolerance and courtesy in treating even infidel warriors
The state of weakness of believers
They don't realize the difference between all this
And the issue of loyalty, which is only to God Almighty
And to His Messenger and to the believers
