    سورہ مائدہ آیت ۵۵

    فقط اللہ اور رسول اور مومنین جو فروتنی کے ساتھ نماز پڑھتے اور زکات دیتے ہیں ہی ولی ہیں۔

    ولی سے مراد اگر دوست ہے تو کیا کسی اور کو دوست نہیں بنایا جا سکتا؟

    اہل کتاب سے شادی کر سکتے ہیں مگر بیوی سے دوستی نہیں رکھ سکتے؟

    یا کسی بھی اہل کتاب سے دوستی نہیں رکھ سکتے؟

    یا کسی بھی وہ مومن جو نمازی وغیرہ نہ ہو دوستی نہیں رکھ سکتے؟

    کیونکہ (انما) کے ساتھ حصر ہوتا ہے

    یا ولی سے مراد حاکم ہے؟

    Verse 55 draws parallel to Verse 51 where having friendship with Jews and Christians was condemned because of law of itmam-e-Hujjah which entails that believers be separated from Kafirs before declaration of final punishment. Salah and Zakat at the time of a Rasul and specially at the last stage of Itmam-e-Hujjah were made a necessary expression of faith from a legal standpoint (and from a standpoint of faith only, this reality is very clear that Salah and Zakat are two primary manifestations of true faith). Therefore, at the time of itmam-e-hujjat, yes the believers are only those who offer Salah and pay their Zakat and such people should be only friends with Muslims as opposed to the Jews and Christians of that time. Although the verse is specific in this context, but it also serves as a guiding principle for an individual Muslim regarding the reality of faith and importance of Salah and Zakat for a Muslim.
