Freedom from (all)
obligations (is declared)
from Allah and His Messenger
(SAW) to those of the Mushrikun
(polytheists, pagans, idolaters,
disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah),
with whom you made a treaty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
So travel freely (O
Mushrikun - see V.2:105) for
four months (as you will)
throughout the land, but know that you cannot escape (from
the Punishment of) Allah, and
Allah will disgrace the disbelievers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
And a declaration from Allah and His
Messenger to mankind on the greatest day (the
10th of Dhul-Hijjah - the 12th month of Islamic calendar)
that Allah is free from (all)
obligations to the Mushrikun
(see V.2:105) and so is His
Messenger. So if you (Mushrikun)
repent, it is better for you, but if you turn away, then know that
you cannot escape (from the
Punishment of) Allah. And give
tidings (O Muhammad SAW)
of a painful torment to those who disbelieve. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Except those of the Mushrikun with
whom you have a treaty, and who have not subsequently failed you in
aught, nor have supported anyone against you. So fulfill their treaty
to them to the end of their term. Surely Allah loves Al- Mattaqun
(the pious - see V.2:2). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
Then when the Sacred Months
(the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months
of the Islamic calendar) have
passed, then kill the Mushrikun
(see V.2:105) wherever you find
them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each
and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-Salat
(Iqamat-as-Salat),
and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And if anyone of the Mushrikun
(polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers
in the Oneness of Allah) seeks
your protection then grant him protection, so that he may hear the
Word of Allah (the Qur-an),
and then escort him to where he can be secure, that is because they
are men who know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
How can there be a covenant with Allah
and with His Messenger for the Mushrikun (polytheists,
idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah)
except those with whom you made a covenant near Al-Masjid-al-Haram
(at Makkah)?
So long, as they are true to you, stand you true to them. Verily,
Allah loves Al-Muttaqun (the
pious - see V.2:2). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
How (can
there be such a covenant with them)
that when you are overpowered by them, they regard not the ties, either
of kinship or of covenant with you? With (good
words from) their mouths they
please you, but their hearts are averse to you, and most of them are
Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient
to Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
They have purchased with the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
of Allah a little gain, and they hindered men from His Way; evil indeed
is that which they used to do. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
With regard to a believer, they respect
not the ties, either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who are
the transgressors. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
But if they repent, perform As-Salat
(Iqamat-as-Salat)
and give Zakat, then they are your brethren in religion. (In
this way) We explain the Ayat
(proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)
in detail for a people who know. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
But if they violate their oaths after
their covenant, and attack your religion with disapproval and criticism
then fight (you)
the leaders of disbelief (chiefs
of Quraish - pagans of Makkah)
- for surely their oaths are nothing to them - so that they may stop
(evil actions). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
Will you not fight a people who have
violated their oaths (pagans
of Makkah) and intended to expel
the Messenger, while they did attack you first? Do you fear them?
Allah has more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
Fight against them so that Allah will
punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over
them and heal the breasts of a believing people, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And remove the anger of their
(believers')
hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing,
All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
Do you think that you shall be left
alone while Allah has not yet tested those among you who have striven
hard and fought and have not taken Walijah [(Batanah
- helpers, advisors and consultants from disbelievers, pagans, etc.)
giving openly to them their secrets]
besides Allah and His Messenger, and the believers. Allah is Well-Acquainted
with what you do. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
It is not for the Mushrikun
(polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers
in the Oneness of Allah), to
maintain the Mosques of Allah (i.e.
to pray and worship Allah therein, to look after their cleanliness
and their building, etc.), while
they witness against their ownselves of disbelief. The works of such
are in vain and in Fire shall they abide. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
The Mosques of Allah shall be maintained
only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day; perform As-Salat
(Iqamat-as-Salat),
and give Zakat and fear none but Allah. It is they who are expected
to be on true guidance. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
Do you consider the providing of drinking
water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at
Makkah) as equal to the worth
of those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and strive hard and
fight in the Cause of Allah? They are not equal before Allah. And
Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists
and wrong-doers). |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
Those who believed (in
the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism)
and emigrated and strove hard and fought in Allah's Cause with their
wealth and their lives are far higher in degree with Allah. They are
the successful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
Their Lord gives them glad tidings
of a Mercy from Him, and that He is pleased (with
them), and of Gardens (Paradise)
for them wherein are everlasting delights. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
They will dwell therein forever. Verily,
with Allah is a great reward. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
O you who believe! Take not for Auliya'
(supporters and helpers)
your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief.
And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the Zalimun
(wrong-doers, etc.). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Say: If your fathers, your sons, your
brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained,
the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which
you delight … are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and
striving hard and fighting in His Cause, then wait until Allah brings
about His Decision (torment).
And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the
rebellious, disobedient to Allah). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Truly Allah has given you victory on
many battle fields, and on the Day of Hunain (battle)
when you rejoiced at your great number but it availed you naught and
the earth, vast as it is, was straitened for you, then you turned
back in flight. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
Then Allah did send down His Sakinah
(calmness, tranquillity and
reassurance, etc.) on the Messenger
(Muhammad SAW),
and on the believers, and sent down forces (angels)
which you saw not, and punished the disbelievers. Such is the recompense
of disbelievers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
Then after that Allah will accept the
repentance of whom He will. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
O you who believe (in
Allah's Oneness and in His Messenger (Muhammad SAW)!
Verily, the Mushrikun (polytheists,
pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, and in the
Message of Muhammad SAW) are
Najasun (impure).
So let them not come near Al-Masjid-al-Harum (at
Makkah) after this year, and
if you fear poverty, Alluh will enrich you if He will, out of His
Bounty. Surely, Alluh is All-Knowing, All-Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Fight against those who (1)
believe not in Allah, (2)
nor in the Last Day, (3)
nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger
(4)
and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e.
Islam) among the people of the
Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they
pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra)
is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of
Allah. That is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying
of the disbelievers of old. Allah's Curse be on them, how they are
deluded away from the truth! |
