they ask you about the sacred month and fighting in it. say to fight in this month is a grave but to bar others from the path of allah and disbelief in him and the holy mosque and to expel its inhabitants from it is greater with allah. dissension is greater than killing they will not cease to fight against you until they force you to renounce your religion if they are able. but whosoever of you recants from his religion and dies an unbeliever their works shall be annulled in this world and in the everlasting life and those shall be the companions of hell and there they shall live for ever.
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
