Al-Takeyya is a based on the following Quranic verse: 'religion 'Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do'' ''that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of peaceprecaution (prevention), that'' ''ye may Guard yourselves from them (prevent them from harming you.)

Sunni A [[MuslimChristianity|Christian]]s typically denounce Taqqiya as hypocrisy, in contrast, never hides who he is, nor denies his identity.

== References Verses of the Koran and Hadith that encourage Muslims to practice Taqiyya==*Koran (9:3) - "...Allah and His Messenger are free from liability to the idolaters..." *Koran (66:2) - "Allah has already ordained for you the dissolution of your oaths..." *Koran (2:225) - "Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts" *Koran (3:54) - "And they (the disbelievers) schemed, and Allah schemed (against them): and Allah is the best of schemers."
*Sahih Bukhari (52:269) - "The Prophet said, 'War is deceit.'"
*Sahih Bukhari (49:857) - "He who makes peace between the people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar."
 
*Sahih Bukhari (84:64)- "Whenever I tell you a narration from Allah's Apostle, by Allah, I would rather fall down from the sky than ascribe a false statement to him, but if I tell you something between me and you (not a Hadith) then it was indeed a trick (i.e., I may say things just to cheat my enemy). No doubt I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'During the last days there will appear some young foolish people who will say the best words but their faith will not go beyond their throats (i.e. they will have no faith) and will go out from (leave) their religion as an arrow goes out of the game. So, where-ever you find them, kill them, for who-ever kills them shall have reward on the Day of Resurrection.'"
 
*Sahih Muslim (32:6303) - "...he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything what the people speak as lie but in three cases: in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and the narration of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them)."
