ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنَٰكَ عَلَىٰ شَرِيعَةٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡرِ فَٱتَّبِعۡهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعۡ أَهۡوَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ١٨ ﴿18﴾ إِنَّهُمۡ لَن يُغۡنُواْ عَنكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيۡـٔٗاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ بَعۡضُهُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ بَعۡضٖۖ وَٱللَّهُ وَلِيُّ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ١٩ ﴿19﴾
18Then We have put you on a certain way of the Matter (i.e. the religion); so follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who do not know. 19They will never help you against Allah in the least. The wrongdoers are friends to one another, and Allah is the friend of the God-fearing.

Commentary
On a Shari'ah, on a way and methodology from the matter of religion. So follow your established Shari'ah with evidence and proofs, and do not follow what has no proof from the whims of the ignorant. Their religion is based on whim and innovation, and they are the leaders of Quraysh when they said, 'Return to the religion of your forefathers.' And do not ally with them. Indeed, only the one who is a wrongdoer like them is allied with the wrongdoers. As for the pious, Allah is their ally, and they are His allies. How clear is the distinction between the two types of allegiance.
