Check the following verses:
- [Surah Al Maidah:51](https://quran.com/al-maidah/51)
> O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians—they are guardians of each other.1 Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoers.
- [Surah Al Bakarah:120](https://quran.com/en/al-baqarah/120)
> Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you until you follow their faith. Say, “Allah’s guidance is the only true guidance.” And if you were to follow their desires after all the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah.
The current world is not dominated by Islam. It is dominated by the Western, so-called "Rules-based International Order," with the USA at its forefront. Back then, the world was not this connected and ruled by a single power like the USA through 800 military bases. There was no NATO, UNO, or EU. Apart from military factors, there are also economic factors. The Western alliance controls the world economy. The West has the largest economy, and they control the world economy through the USD or EURO. Science and technology are also controlled by them. As a result, life-saving drugs come from the West. They are also in control of food grains, as revealed by the ongoing Ukraine war.
Muslim-majority countries are walking on a thin rope. If the Muslim-majority countries follow these verses exactly as they are, they will not survive. They will either be sanctioned, invaded, or die of hunger or disease.

So, how are these verses relevant according to today's reality?
