بَراءَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ إِلَى الَّذينَ عاهَدتُم مِنَ المُشرِكينَ
A declaration of dissolution from God and His Messenger is hereby issued to the polytheists with whom you had entered into a treaty.
فَسيحوا فِي الأَرضِ أَربَعَةَ أَشهُرٍ وَاعلَموا أَنَّكُم غَيرُ مُعجِزِي اللَّهِ ۙ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ مُخزِي الكافِرينَ
Travel the land freely for four months, but be aware that you can’t evade God’s grip, and that God will disgrace the disbelievers.
وَأَذانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ إِلَى النّاسِ يَومَ الحَجِّ الأَكبَرِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ بَريءٌ مِنَ المُشرِكينَ ۙ وَرَسولُهُ ۚ فَإِن تُبتُم فَهُوَ خَيرٌ لَكُم ۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّيتُم فَاعلَموا أَنَّكُم غَيرُ مُعجِزِي اللَّهِ ۗ وَبَشِّرِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا بِعَذابٍ أَليمٍ
A proclamation from God and His Messenger to all people on the day of the Great Pilgrimage: God disowns the polytheists, as does His Messenger. If you repent, it will be good for you, but if you turn away, know that you can’t evade God. Inform those who disbelieve of severe punishment.
إِلَّا الَّذينَ عاهَدتُم مِنَ المُشرِكينَ ثُمَّ لَم يَنقُصوكُم شَيئًا وَلَم يُظاهِروا عَلَيكُم أَحَدًا فَأَتِمّوا إِلَيهِم عَهدَهُم إِلىٰ مُدَّتِهِم ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُتَّقينَ
However, to those polytheists with whom you’ve made a treaty, and who didn’t violate any of its terms, nor supported anyone against you, complete their treaty until its period. God loves the righteous.
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.
