8:34-35(18) “Why would God not punish them, as they are those who create obstacles in the enforcement of Inviolable Commandments (‘an al-Masjid al-Haraam - عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ), and such cannot be God’s friends. God’s friends are only those who obey Him by being Pious. However, the majority of them stand bereft of that awareness. The expression of submission and obedience in the Center of divine Guidance (al-Bayit - عِندَ الْبَيْتِ) is nothing except meaningless crying and pandemonium. So, let them taste the punishment of their denial of truth.”
8:67(34) “It is not permissible at all for the Nabi (the Leader of men and head of state) that he may own or possess captives even though he would have dominated a large part of earth. You may desire the gains of this world, while Allah envisions the bounties of Hereafter for you. And He is the dominant and the wise one.“
