How to reconcile displaying enmity toward disbelievers with being dutiful to them and treating them kindly, as in Surat al-Hashr?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: How do we reconcile displaying enmity and hatred toward disbelievers and polytheists, as in the saying of Allah the Exalted: , with being dutiful to them and treating them kindly, as in the verse of Surat al-Hashr? And does displaying enmity and hatred require harshness toward them and rudeness in conversation with them?

Answer:
My brother, there is no contradiction between hating disbelievers and being kind to those who have not wronged us. It is not kindness to all of them, but to those who have not wronged us, for we are kind to them, or to those among them who have been kind to us, for we are kind to them as a matter of reciprocity and dealing. This is a matter of interaction and reciprocity, not of loyalty. So there is no contradiction between the verses. Yes.
