they will question thee concerning the holy month and fighting in it. say fighting in it is a heinous thing but to bar from gods way and disbelief in him and the holy mosque and to expel its people from it that is more heinous in gods sight and persecution is more heinous than slaying. they will not cease to fight with you till they turn you from your religion if they are able and whosoever of you turns from his religion and dies disbelieving their works have failed in this world and the next those are the inhabitants of the fire therein they shall dwell forever.
يسألونك عن الشهر الحرام قتال فيه قل قتال فيه كبير وصد عن سبيل الله وكفر به والمسجد الحرام وإخراج أهله منه أكبر عند الله والفتنة أكبر من القتل ولا يزالون يقاتلونكم حتى يردوكم عن دينكم إن استطاعوا ومن يرتدد منكم عن دينه فيمت وهو كافر فأولئك حبطت أعمالهم في الدنيا والآخرة وأولئك أصحاب النار هم فيها خالدون
