Have you not thought about the group of the Children of Israel after (the time of) Musa (Moses)? When they said to a Prophet of theirs, "Appoint for us a king and we will fight in Allah's Way." He said, "Would you then refrain from fighting, if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "Why should we not fight in Allah's Way while we have been driven out of our homes and our children (families have been taken as captives)?" But when fighting was ordered for them, they turned away, all except a few of them. And Allah is All-Aware of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).
Hukuwaona watukufu katika Wana wa Israili baada ya Musa, walipo mwambia Nabii wao: Tuwekee mfalme ili tupigane katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu? Akasema: Je, haielekei ikiwa mtaandikiwa vita kuwa msipigane? Wakasema: Itakuwaje tusipigane katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na hali tumetolewa majumbani kwetu na watoto wetu? Lakini walipo andikiwa kupigana waligeuka, isipo kuwa wachache miongoni mwao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anawajua madhaalimu.
