they ask you of war in the holy month. tell them to fight in that month is a great sin. but a greater sin in the eyes of god is to hinder people from the way of god and not to believe in him and to bar access to the holy mosque and turn people out of its precincts and oppression is worse than killing. they will always seek war against you till they turn you away from your faith if they can. but those of you who turn back on their faith and die disbelieving will have wasted their deeds in this world and the next. they are inmates of hell and shall there abide 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
