[It is not justified for Muslims to follow disbelievers]

Based on this, the fascination with their material strength is neither justified nor rational; as God Almighty has said: ﴿وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى[1]; “And do not gaze toward what We have given some couples of them to enjoy, the splendor of the life of the world by which We test them, and the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring,” and said: ﴿لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ تَقَلُّبُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ ۝ مَتَاعٌ قَلِيلٌ ثُمَّ مَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ[2]; “Do not be deceived by the movement of disbelievers throughout the lands; it is a brief enjoyment, then their abode is Hell, which is an evil resting place.” Rather, following them in the hope of gaining their strength has the opposite effect and leads to Muslims’ regression instead of their progression; as God Almighty has said: ﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ تُطِيعُوا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوا خَاسِرِينَ[3]; “O you who believed! If you follow those who disbelieved, they will make you revert to your old ways, then you will be losers”; because following them causes the truth to be considered as falsehood whenever it contradicts their beliefs and the procedure governing the world under their control, and to be hated and denied by Muslims as a result of their propaganda and suggestions so that their principles and laws will gradually replace the principles and laws of Islam, and Muslims will stop pursuing their own goals and try to achieve their goals and cover the body of disbelief with the clothes of Islam in order to please them and prevent their anger. Therefore, the only valid border in Islam is the border between Muslims and disbelievers who have dispute about the belief in God, the most important and fundamental principle of life; as God Almighty has said about them: ﴿هَذَانِ خَصْمَانِ اخْتَصَمُوا فِي رَبِّهِمْ[4]; “These are two opposing groups who are at enmity with one another concerning their Lord,” and it is clear that this border, unlike the other borders, is not artificial, but rather it is real in view of its inherent and real effect on all aspects of life,
