Al Wala' Wal Bara'

Al-wala' wa-l-bara' (Arabic: الولاء والبراء) is an Arabic term meaning "loyalty and disavowal". Al-wala' wa-l-bara' is referred to by some as holding fast to all that is pleasing to God, and withdrawing from and opposing all that is displeasing to God; namely the Kafirs(un-believers) who are to be hated, for the sake of Allah. This is for their calling towards something other than submission to God, whether on purpose or by nature of disbelief. But we must also treat them with kindness, and lienancy. Muslims cannot befriend or love disbelivers. However,there is natural love that a Muslim may feel towards a non-Muslim and he is not to be blamed for it. This love is instinct and human nature. Such as love for women (e.g wives), love for parents, and love for other family members, etc. This love should be balanced with hatred for the sake of Allah because of their rejection of Islam.
