Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is glorifying the disbelievers and the civilization they possess, and considering them better than Muslims, considered loyalty to the disbelievers?
Answer:
Yes, if he says they are better than Muslims, he has preferred the disbelievers over the Muslims on the basis of the adornment of this world. The adornment of this world is of no value. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:[Taha 20:131] So the Muslims are better than the disbelievers, even if the Muslims possess nothing. The Muslims are better than the disbelievers. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, if he says they are better than Muslims, he has preferred the disbelievers over the Muslims on the basis of the adornment of this world. The adornment of this world is of no value. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
