they ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting in it. say fighting in it is a grave matter and hindering from allahs way and denying him and the sacred mosque and turning its people out of it are still graver with allah and persecution is graver than slaughter and they will not cease fighting with you until they turn you back from your religion if they can and whoever of you turns back from his religion then he dies while an unbeliever these it is whose works shall go for nothing in this world and the hereafter and they are the inmates of the fire therein they shall 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
