Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:
“Religiosity must be considered before beauty, because if religion is lacking, she is of no use to an honourable man.”
[Captured Thoughts p. 905]
Q5:51 prohibits Muslims from taking Jews & Christians as political allies/protectors (not necessarily friends). However, the verse is qualified by verse 57 of the same chapter which forbids Muslims from taking as allies those who mock Islam from the People of the Book.
Islam is the only true religion. All other religions are flawed and corrupted.
The deepest instinct of human conscience is the recognition of one supreme power. While many religions ultimately point toward this idea, Islam alone removes all intermediaries between man and God.

A woman’s voice is not ‘Awrah per the Hanbali school.
Ibn al-Najjar al-Futuhī (d. 972 AH) in his Muntaha says:
“The voice of the non-related/non-mahram woman [ajnabiyyah] is not ‘awrah”
Ibn Qā’id in his commentary of al-Muntaha says:
“…[Its not ‘Awrah] contrary to her hair”
Al-Mardawī (d. 895 AH) says:
“The voice of the non-related/non-mahram woman [ajnabiyyah] is not ‘awrah according to the correct view of the [Hanbali] madhab.
[Ibn Muflih] has stated in al-Furu’ [her voice] is not ‘Awrah according to the most correct view”
