Quran 6:70 – Is It About Condemnation Of Friendship With Polytheists?
This is about the polytheists who rejected the message of God even though the messenger of God directly conveyed it to them and persistently invited them to the oneness of God. After this Itmam ul Hujjah, they were condemned by God. The above expression indicates that their condition is hopeless. This is not the case with other polytheists. Therefore we are not the addressee of this directive. Moreover, the polytheists of Arabs in the time of the prophet started a war against the prophet and the Muslims, therefore it was forbidden for the Muslims to make friends with them because they were going to be punished by God. Such a special kind of situation does not exist for other polytheists.
