they ask you concerning fighting in the sacred months. say fighting therein is a great but a greater with allah is to prevent mankind from following the way of allah to disbelieve in him to prevent access to almasjid alharam and to drive out its inhabitants and alfitnah is worse than killing. and they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion if they can. and whosoever of you turns back from his religion and dies as a disbeliever then his deeds will be lost in this life and in the hereafter and they will be the dwellers of the fire. they will abide therein 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
