Surat Hud (113-114)

{وَلاَ تَرْكَنُواْ إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَمَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِ اللّهِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاء ثُمَّ لاَ تُنصَرُونَ} (هود : 113)

113- Do not incline to the people of oppression, do not satisfy with their oppression, and do not incline to tyrants who oppress the worshippers of Allah, do not seek their help, and do not lean to them as if you satisfy with their actions.

Al Baydawy said in his Tafsir: Do not incline to them even slightly, for the meaning of leaning includes wearing like them or glorifying their mention.

The author of Rawh Al Ma`any said: What about those who take the side of absolute tyrant and oppressors, accompanying them, making them happy, driving people to benefit and serve them, and becoming happy when wearing and acting like them?

He said: Such people should be counted as oppressors not helpers of oppressors according to the narration which stated that a man said to Sufyan: I work as a tailor at oppressors, would I be one of their helpers? Sufyan said: No, you are one of them, but the one who sells the needle to you is one of their helpers.

When you incline to them, Hell-Fire shall be waiting for you because of inclining to those tyrants.

You shall no supporter before Allah to prevent His Torment, and you shall have no mercy from Allah because He has already destined your torment for your inclination to oppressors.

{وَأَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ وَزُلَفاً مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ إِنَّ الْحَسَنَاتِ يُذْهِبْنَ السَّـيِّئَاتِ ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ} (هود : 114)

114-  Establish the obligatory Salahs by performing them in their due times from the beginning of the day to the end: The beginning of the day starts with the Dawn Salah to Zhuhr or `Asr because their due time is after the decline of the sun from the middle of the sky.

And few hours of the night means Maghrib and `Isha' Salah. Verily, doing righteous actions atone and remove past sins, and Salah is one of the greatest acts of worship; this is a sermon and a lesson for those who take heed.
