They ask you concerning fighting in the Sacred Months (i.e. 1st, 7th, 11th and 12th months of the Islamic calendar). Say, "Fighting therein is a great (transgression) but a greater (transgression) with Allah is to prevent mankind from following the Way of Allah, to disbelieve in Him, to prevent access to Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Makkah), and to drive out its inhabitants, and Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic Monotheism) 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.
Wanakuuliza juu ya kupigana vita katika mwezi mtakatifu. Sema: Kupigana vita wakati huo ni dhambi kubwa. Lakini kuzuilia watu wasende katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu na kumkanusha Yeye, na kuzuilia watu wasende kwenye Msikiti Mtakatifu na kuwatoa watu wake humo, ni makubwa zaidi mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Na fitina ni mbaya zaidi kuliko kuuwa. Wala hawatoacha kupigana nanyi mpaka wakutoeni katika Dini yenu kama wakiweza. Na yeyote katika nyinyi akiacha Dini yake akafa naye ni kafiri, basi hao ndio ambao a'mali zao zimeharibika duniani na Akhera. Na hao ndio watu wa Motoni; humo watadumu.
