Prohibition of giving in to the Pressure of the Disbelievers and Their Suggestions, and that They like to meet in the Middle of the PathAllah says, `just as We have favored you and given you the upright legislation and great (standard of) character,'فَلاَ تُطِعِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ - وَدُّواْ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ(So, do not obey the deniers. They wish that you should compromise with them, so they (too) would compromise with you.
