➋ { اِلَّا الْمُتَّقِيْنَ:} The friendship of the righteous will remain even on that Day, because its cause is the attainment of Allah's pleasure, which is something everlasting.

On the Day of Judgment, All Friendships Except Religious Ones Will Become Enmity:
On the Day of Judgment, only that friendship will remain which is based on piety, and those who maintained friendship with each other in the world solely for the sake of Allah and His religion. All other kinds of friendships will turn into enmity. And such friendships are of many types. For example, the love of polytheists for their idols and their mutual friendships; the friendship of all kinds of disbelievers in forming a united front against Islam; the friendship of criminals with other criminals, such as robbers with robbers; friendships for worldly interests. All such friendships and relationships will not only be severed, but all will become enemies of each other and will lay the blame on one another, saying, "So-and-so was the cause of my misguidance," and "So-and-so dragged me down with him."
