God and His Messenger declare the abrogation of the peace treaty that existed between them and the pagans.

S.M.Sarwar 9:1

2

However, during the four sacred months, they (pagans) may travel peacefully through the land. Know (pagans) that you cannot make God helpless, but it is God who has the power to disgrace the unbelievers.

S.M.Sarwar 9:2

3

This Announcement from God and His Messenger is to be made to the people on the day of the great Pilgrimage; God and His Messenger have declared no amnesty for the pagans. If you (pagans) repent, it would be better for you, but if you turn away (from God), know that you cannot make God helpless. (Muhammad) tell the unbelievers that a painful punishment has been prepared for them.

S.M.Sarwar 9:3

4

This does not apply to the pagans with whom you have a valid peace treaty and who have not broken it from their side or helped others against you. You (believers) must fulfill the terms of the peace treaty with them. God loves the pious ones.

S.M.Sarwar 9:4

5

When the sacred months are over, slay the pagans wherever you find them. Capture, besiege, and ambush them. If they repent, perform prayers and pay the religious tax, set them free. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.

S.M.Sarwar 9:5

6

If any of the pagans ask you to give them refuge, give them asylum so that they may hear the words of God. Then, return them to their towns for they are an ignorant people.

S.M.Sarwar 9:6

7

How can the pagans, except those with whom you have established a peace treaty in the precinct of the Sacred Mosque, have a covenant with God and His Messenger? If they respect the pact, you too should also follow its terms. God loves the pious ones.

S.M.Sarwar 9:7

8

How could God and His Messenger grant them (pagans) peace when if they were to acquire superiority over you, they would respect none of the peace treaties nor their kindred relations with you! They only try to please you by paying lip-service to you but their hearts are against you and most of them are evil-doers.

S.M.Sarwar 9:8

9

They have sold God's revelations for a paltry price and have created obstacles in the way of God. What they have done is evil.

S.M.Sarwar 9:9

10

They do not respect their promises nor their family ties with the believers. They are transgressors.

S.M.Sarwar 9:10

11

If they repent, perform their prayers, pay religious tax, they would be your brothers in the religion. We explain Our revelations to people of knowledge.

S.M.Sarwar 9:11

12

Fight against the leaders of the unbelievers if they violate their established peace treaty with you and revile your faith, to force them to stop their aggression against you. You do not have to bind yourselves to such a treaty.

S.M.Sarwar 9:12

13

Why will you not fight against a people who have broken their peace treaty with you, have decided to expel the Messenger (from his home town), and who were the first to disregard the peace treaty? If you are true believers, you should only have fear of God.

S.M.Sarwar 9:13

14

Fight them. May God punish them by your hands, humiliate them, give you victory over them, delight the hearts of the believers

S.M.Sarwar 9:14

S.M.Sarwar 9:15

Do you think that God will not make any distinction between those of you who have fought for His cause and have relied on no one other than God, His Messenger, and the faithful ones, and other people? God is Well Aware of what you do.

S.M.Sarwar 9:16

17

The pagans do not have any right to establish (and patronize) the mosque of God while they testify against their souls to its disbelief. Their deeds are devoid of all virtue and they will live forever in hell fire.

S.M.Sarwar 9:17

18

Only those who believe in God, the Day of Judgment, perform their prayers, pay the religious tax, and have fear of God alone have the right to establish and patronize the mosque of God so that perhaps they will have the right guidance.

S.M.Sarwar 9:18

19

Do you (pagans), because you served water to the pilgrims and constructed the Sacred Mosque, consider yourselves equal to those who have believed in God, the Day of Judgment, and have fought for the cause of God? In the sight of God you (pagans) are not equal to the believers. God does not guide the unjust.

S.M.Sarwar 9:19

20

To those who have believed in God, left their homes, and fought for His cause with their possessions and in person, God will grant high ranks and success.

S.M.Sarwar 9:20

Their Lord will give the glad news of His granting mercy to them, His pleasure, and His admitting them to a Paradise full of everlasting bounties wherein they will live forever.

S.M.Sarwar 9:21

22

The reward that God will bestow on His servants is the greatest.

S.M.Sarwar 9:22

23

Believers, do not accept your fathers and brothers as your guardians if they prefer disbelief to faith, lest you be unjust.

S.M.Sarwar 9:23

24

(Muhammad), tell them, "If your fathers, children, brothers, spouses, relatives, the property that you possess, the trade you fear may have no profit and the homely life are more beloved to you than God, His Messenger and fighting for His cause, wait until God fulfills His decree (of making the right distinct from the wrong). God does not guide the evil-doers."

S.M.Sarwar 9:24

25

God has helped you on many occasions including the day of Hunayn (name of a place near Mecca). When you were happy with the number of your men who proved to be of no help to you and the whole vast earth seemed to have no place to hide you (from your enemies) and you turned back in retreat.

S.M.Sarwar 9:25

26

God gave confidence to His Messenger and the believers and helped them with an army which you could not see. God punished the unbelievers; this is the only recompense that the unbelievers deserve.

S.M.Sarwar 9:26

27

After that occasion God forgave those whom He wanted. God is All-knowing and All-merciful.

S.M.Sarwar 9:27

28

Believers, the pagans are filthy. Do not let them come near to the Sacred Mosque after this year. If you are afraid of poverty, He will make you rich if He wishes, by His favor. God is All-knowing and All-wise.

S.M.Sarwar 9:28

29

Fight against those People of the Book who have no faith in God or the Day of Judgment, who do not consider unlawful what God and His Messenger have made unlawful, and who do not believe in the true religion, until they humbly pay tax with their own hands.

S.M.Sarwar 9:29

Some of the Jews have said that Ezra is the son of God and Christians have said the same of Jesus. This is only what they say and it is similar to what the unbelievers who lived before them had said. May God destroy them wherever they exist!
