they will ask thee about fighting in the sacred month. say fighting in it is an awesome thing but turning men away from the path of god and denying him and the inviolable house of worship and expelling its people there from is yet more awesome in the sight of god since oppression is more awesome than killing. will not cease to fight against you till they have turned you away from your faith if they can. but if any of you should turn away from his faith and die as a denier of the truth these it is whose works will go for nought in this world and in the life to come and these it is who are destined for the fire therein to abide.
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
