یَسْئلُونَکَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ قِتَال فِیهِ قُلْ قِتَالٌ فِیهِ کَبِیرٌ وَصَدٌّ عَن سَبِیلِ اللهِ وَکُفْرُ بِهِ وَالْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَإِخْرَاجُ أَهْلِهِ مِنْهُ أَکْبَرُ عِندَ اللهِ وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَکْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِ وَلاَ یَزَالُونَ یُقَـاتِلُونَکُم حَتَّى یَرُدُّوکُمْ عَن دِینِکُمْ إنِ اسْتَطَـاعُواْ وَمَن یَرْتَدِدْ مِنکُمْ عَن دِینِهِ فَیَمُتْ وَهُوَ کَافِرٌ فَأُوْلَئکَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَـالُهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَالاَْخِرَةِ وَأُوْلَئکَ أَصْحَـابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِیهَا خَـالِدُونَ(( 217 ))

217- THEY ASK YOU CONCERNING THE HOLY MONTH AND FIGHTING IN IT? SAY: FIGHT IN IT IS A GREAT, (SIN) BUT TO BAR FROM GOD'S WAY, AND DISBELIEF IN HIM, AND (TO PREVENT HAVING ACCESS) TO THE SACRED MOSQUE, AND TO EXPEL ITS PEOPLE FROM IT, IS MORE HEINOUS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. AND TUMULT IS WORSE THAN SLAUGHTER. AND THEY WILL CONTINUE FIGHTING WITH YOU, UNTIL THEY TURN YOU FROM YOUR RELIGION IF THEY COULD DO IT. AND WHOEVER OF YOU TURN FROM HIS RELIGION AND DIE BEING UNBELIEVER, THEIR WORKS HAVE FAILED IN THIS WORLD AND IN THE HEREAFTER. THOSE ARE THE COMPANIONS OF FIRE, ABIDING THEREIN FOREVER.

إنَّ الَّذِینَ ءَامَنُواْ وَالَّذِینَ هَاجَرُواْ وَجـاهَدُواْ فِی سَبِیلِ اللهِ أُوْلَئکَ یَرْجُونَ رَحْمَةَ اللهِ وَاللهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِیمٌ(( 218 ))

218- THOSE WHO BELIEVED, AND THOSE WHO EMIGRATED AND STROVE IN THE PATH OF ALLAH, MAY HOPE FOR ALLAH'S MERCY - ALLAH IS OFT-FORGIVING COMPASSIONATE.
