| Verse | ||
| They ask you about the sacred month, fighting in it | يَسْئَلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِيْهِ | |
| Say: “fighting therein is great (sin) but hindering from the way of Allah (SWT) and disbelief in Him | قُلْ قِتَالٌ فِيْهِ كَبِيْرٌ وَصَدٌّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ وَكُفْرٌ بِهِ | |
| and the sacred mosque and driving out its people from it is greater with Allah (SWT) | وَالمَسْجِدِ الحَرَامِ وَإِخْرَاجُ أَهْلِهِ مِنْهُ أَكْبَرُ عِنْدَ اللهِ | |
| and oppression is greater than killing” and not they will cease to fight you | وَالفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنَ القَتْلِ وَلَا يَزَالُوْنَ يُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ | |
| until they turn you away from your religion if they are able | حَتَّى يَرُدُّوكُمْ عَنْ دِيْنِكُمْ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا | |
| and whoever turn away from among you from his religion then dies while he is a disbeliever | وَمَن يَرْتَدِدْ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ دِيْنِهِ فَيَمُتْ وَهُوَ كَافِرٌ | |
| for those, their deeds become worthless in the world and the hereafter | فَأُوْلَآئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ | |
| 2-217 | and those are the companions of the fire, they will abide in it forever | وَأُوْلَآئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيْهَا خَالِدُوْنَ |
| that because they say, “not will the fire touch us but for a number of days” | ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا لَنْ تَمَسَّنَا النَّارُ إِلَّآ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُوْدَاتٍ | |
| 3-24 | and what they were inventing deceived them in their religion | وَغَرَّهُمْ فِي دِيْنِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُوْنَ |
