  2. Then go about in the land for four months and know that you can not tire Allah and Allah is to humiliate theinfidels.

  3. And there is proclamation from Allah and His Messenger to all People on the day of Great Pilgrimage that Allahis rid of the polytheists and so His Messenger, if you then repent it is then good for you, and if you turn you'face then know that you cannot tire Allah. And give good tidings to infidels of a painful torment.

  4. But those associators with whom you had covenanted they did not detract anything in your Contract, and didnot help any one against you then fulfil their covenant till the promised day. Undoubtedly, Allah loves the piousones.

  5. Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the associators wherever you find them and catch them, andconfine them and sit in wait for them at every place; again if they repent and establish prayer and give thepoor-due then leave their way. Verily Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

  6. And 'O beloved Prophet'. If any of the associators ask your protection, then give him protection that he mayhear the word of Allah then convey him to his place of security. This is because they are the people ignorant.

  7. How there shall be any covenant for the associators with Allah and His Messenger but those with whom youcovenanted near the Sacred Mosque! Then as long as they keep their covenant for you, you should also standfor them. Undoubtedly, Allah loves the pious ones.

  8. How (Can it be) their condition is this that if they prevail against you, then neither they would care forrelationship nor for agreement. They please you with their mouths, and their hearts refuse, and most of themare disobedient.

  9. They have sold the Signs of Allah for a meagre price, and then they barred from His path. Undoubtedly, theydo evil deeds.

  12. If they break their oaths after their covenant, and taunt at your religion, then fight with the leaders of infidelity.Undoubtedly, their oaths are nothing. Haply they may desist.

  13. Will you not fight with a people who have broken their oaths and resolved to turn out the Messenger, althoughthe beginning is from them? Do you fear them? Linen Allah is Most Worthy that you should fear Him if youbelieve (Him).

  14. Then fight them, Allah will torment them at your hands and will humiliate them and will help you against them,and will heal the breasts of the believers.

  15. And will remove the anger of their hearts, and Allah relent of whomsoever He pleases, and Allah is Knowing,Wise.
