(81) وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالله والنَّبِيِّ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوهُمْ أَوْلِيَاء وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ

81. " And if they had believed in Allah and the Prophet and what was sent down to him, they would not have taken them for friends, but most of them are evil-doers."

Commentary :
There may be several extentions for the content of this verse. Among them are the followings:
A. If the Jews had really believed in Moses (a.s.) and his Turah, they would never have appointed pagans as their masters. (Tafsir 'Alusi)
B. If infidels and polytheists became Muslims, the Jews would not cooperate with them. (Tafsir-i-Al-Mizan)
C. If the People of the Book, or the hypocrites, or the Muslims believed truely in Allah and the Messenger, they would not appoint pagans as their masters. The reason of it is that Faith does not adapt to infidelity. It is corruption and disbelief that cause than to accept the domination of pagans.
And, generally, whoever violates the bounds of Allah will be a prey of Taquts (daities) and disbelievers.
The verse says:
