فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشهُرُ الحُرُمُ فَاقتُلُوا المُشرِكينَ حَيثُ وَجَدتُموهُم وَخُذوهُم وَاحصُروهُم وَاقعُدوا لَهُم كُلَّ مَرصَدٍ ۚ فَإِن تابوا وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكاةَ فَخَلّوا سَبيلَهُم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

When the Sacred Months have passed, slay the polytheists wherever you find them. Capture them, besiege them, and ambush them at every possible location. However, if they repent, establish prayer, and give in charity, let them go their way. God is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَإِن أَحَدٌ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ استَجارَكَ فَأَجِرهُ حَتّىٰ يَسمَعَ كَلامَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبلِغهُ مَأمَنَهُ ۚ ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُم قَومٌ لا يَعلَمونَ

If any of the polytheists seeks your protection, grant it to him, so that he may hear the Word of God. Then escort him to where he can be safe, for they are a people who lack knowledge.

كَيفَ يَكونُ لِلمُشرِكينَ عَهدٌ عِندَ اللَّهِ وَعِندَ رَسولِهِ إِلَّا الَّذينَ عاهَدتُم عِندَ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ ۖ فَمَا استَقاموا لَكُم فَاستَقيموا لَهُم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُتَّقينَ

How can a treaty exist between God and His Messenger and the polytheists, except with those with whom you made a treaty at the Sacred Mosque? As long as they remain upright towards you, remain upright towards them. God loves the righteous.

كَيفَ وَإِن يَظهَروا عَلَيكُم لا يَرقُبوا فيكُم إِلًّا وَلا ذِمَّةً ۚ يُرضونَكُم بِأَفواهِهِم وَتَأبىٰ قُلوبُهُم وَأَكثَرُهُم فاسِقونَ

How can it be when they gain dominance over you, they respect neither kinship nor treaty with you? They appease you with their mouths, but their hearts refuse, and most of them are sinful.

اشتَرَوا بِآياتِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَليلًا فَصَدّوا عَن سَبيلِهِ ۚ إِنَّهُم ساءَ ما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

They sold God’s verses for a trivial gain and obstructed His path. How awful is what they’ve been doing.

فَإِن تابوا وَأَقامُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتَوُا الزَّكاةَ فَإِخوانُكُم فِي الدّينِ ۗ وَنُفَصِّلُ الآياتِ لِقَومٍ يَعلَمونَ

If they repent, establish prayer, and give in charity, then they are your brothers in faith. We explain the verses for people who know.

وَإِن نَكَثوا أَيمانَهُم مِن بَعدِ عَهدِهِم وَطَعَنوا في دينِكُم فَقاتِلوا أَئِمَّةَ الكُفرِ ۙ إِنَّهُم لا أَيمانَ لَهُم لَعَلَّهُم يَنتَهونَ

However, if they violate their oaths after their treaty, and they attack your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, for their oaths are nothing to them, so they may cease.

أَلا تُقاتِلونَ قَومًا نَكَثوا أَيمانَهُم وَهَمّوا بِإِخراجِ الرَّسولِ وَهُم بَدَءوكُم أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ ۚ أَتَخشَونَهُم ۚ فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخشَوهُ إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ

Will you not fight against those who broke their oaths, sought to expel the Messenger, and initiated hostilities against you? Do you fear them? God is the one you should fear, if you are believers.

قاتِلوهُم يُعَذِّبهُمُ اللَّهُ بِأَيديكُم وَيُخزِهِم وَيَنصُركُم عَلَيهِم وَيَشفِ صُدورَ قَومٍ مُؤمِنينَ

Fight them; God will punish them by your hands, disgrace them, give you victory over them, and heal the hearts of a believing people.

وَيُذهِب غَيظَ قُلوبِهِم ۗ وَيَتوبُ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ مَن يَشاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَليمٌ حَكيمٌ

And He makes the anger in their hearts subside. And God forgives whomever He wills; God is Knowing and Wise.
