Surah Al-Qalam Verse 9

⁹For they are used to settling everything with power and money. That is why they expect you to become someone who says nothing against their systems of shirk and to compromise on at least part of the call you make in Allah’s name. They want you to be soft with them, to tell them what they would like to hear, and to give up the cause of tawhid. If you were like that, you would treat them well and they would treat you well; and so you would reach a compromise at a certain point. Had you gone along with their desires, they would have said of you, “He is a good man, a pleasant man; he speaks well.” All they want is for you to defend their positions, their status, and their interests. But if you follow their deviations and compromise on Allah’s religion, in the end they will appear to have come to terms with you, and they will make you like themselves.
