This is a declaration of immunity from God and His Messenger to the polytheists, with whom you had made agreements.

W.Khan 9:1

2

So go about in the land for four months, but know that you cannot frustrate the plan of God and that God will disgrace those who deny the truth.

W.Khan 9:2

3

This is a proclamation from God and His Messenger to the people on the day of the Pilgrimage, that God is free of all obligation to the polytheists, and so is His Messenger. If you repent, it will be better for you, but if you turn away, then know that you cannot frustrate the plan of God. Proclaim a grievous punishment to those who are bent on denying the truth.

W.Khan 9:3

4

As for those who have honoured the treaty you made with them and who have not supported anyone against you: fulfill your agreement with them to the end of their term. God loves those who are righteous.

W.Khan 9:4

5

When the forbidden months have passed, kill the polytheists (who are at war with you) wherever you find them.a Take them captive, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and take to prayer regularly and pay the alms, then let them go their way. God is forgiving and merciful.

W.Khan 9:5

6

If any one of the polytheists seeks asylum with you, grant him asylum so that he may hear the word of God; then convey him to a place of safety. That is because they are a people who have no knowledge.

W.Khan 9:6

7

How can there be a treaty with the polytheists on the part of God and His Messenger, except for those with whom you entered into a treaty at the Sacred Mosque? As long as they act straight with you, act straight with them. God loves those who are righteous.

W.Khan 9:7

8

How (can there be a treaty) for, if they get the upper hand over you, they will respect neither kinship nor covenant. They (try to) please you with their tongues but their hearts reject you; most of them are perfidious.

W.Khan 9:8

9

They have sold God's revelations for a paltry price, and barred others from His path. How evil is what they have been doing!

W.Khan 9:9

10

Where believers are concerned, they respect no tie of kinship or treaty. They are people who overstep the limits.

W.Khan 9:10

11

If they repent and keep up their prayers and pay the alms, then they are your brethren in faith. We make Our messages clear for people who are willing to learn.

W.Khan 9:11

12

But if they break faith after pledging it and revile your religion, then fight these leaders of unbelief, so that they may desist, for they have no regard for their pledged word.

W.Khan 9:12

13

Will you not fight against those who have broken their oaths and conspired to banish the Messenger? They were the first to attack you. Do you fear them? Surely God is more deserving of your fear, if you are true believers.

W.Khan 9:13

14

Fight them: God will punish them at your hands, and will disgrace them. He will help you to overcome them and heal the hearts of the faithful;

W.Khan 9:14

15

He will remove the rage from their hearts. God will turn in His mercy to whom He wills. God is all knowing and wise.

W.Khan 9:15

16

Do you (O believers) think that you will be spared without God identifying which of you have struggled and did not take anyone for friends and protectors except God, His Messenger, and the believers? God is fully aware of all your actions.

W.Khan 9:16

17

It is not right that the polytheists should frequent God's places of worship while they are self-confessed unbelievers. It is they whose works shall come to nothing and they shall abide in Hell.

W.Khan 9:17

18

Only he should tend God's houses of worship who believes in God and the Last Day, and is constant in prayer, and spends in charity, and stands in awe of none but God: such people may hope to be among the rightly guided.

W.Khan 9:18

19

Do you regard giving water to pilgrims and tending the Sacred Mosque as being equal to the deeds of those who believe in God and the Last Day and who strive in God's path? They are not equal in the sight of God. God does not guide such unjust people.

W.Khan 9:19

20

Those who have believed and have migrated, and have striven for God's sake with their possessions and persons, stand much higher in God's esteem. It is they who will triumph;

W.Khan 9:20

21

their Lord gives them the good news of His mercy and His pleasure and gardens of eternal bliss.

W.Khan 9:21

22

There they will dwell for ever. Truly there is an immense reward with God.

W.Khan 9:22

23

Believers, do not take your fathers and your brothers for allies if they choose denial of truth in preference to faith. Those among you who ally themselves with them are wrongdoers.

W.Khan 9:23

24

Say, 'If your fathers and your sons and your brothers and your spouses and your tribe, and the worldly goods which you have acquired, and the commerce which you fear will decline, and the homes you love are dearer to you than God and His Messenger and the struggle for His cause, then wait until God fulfills His decree. God does not guide the disobedient people.'

W.Khan 9:24

25

Indeed, God has helped you on many occasions. On the day of Hunayn, when you took pride in your great numbers, they proved of no avail to youfor the earth, despite all its vastness, became (too) narrow for you and you turned back, in retreat.

W.Khan 9:25

26

God caused His tranquillity to descend upon His Messenger and the faithful: and sent down forces which you did not see: He punished those who denied the truthfor such is the recompense of all who deny the truth

W.Khan 9:26

27

then after that, God will turn in His mercy to whom He wills: God is forgiving and merciful.

W.Khan 9:27

28

Believers, know that the polytheists are impure, so they should not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year onwards. If you should fear destitution, God will enrich you out of His bounty, if He so wishes. God is aware and wise.

W.Khan 9:28

29

Fight those from among the People of the Book who believe neither in God, nor in the Last Day, nor hold as unlawful what God and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, nor follow the true religion, until they pay the tax willingly and agree to submit.

W.Khan 9:29

30

The Jews say, 'Ezra is the son of God,' and the Christians say, 'The Messiah is the son of God.' These are but their baseless utterances. They imitate the assertions made in earlier times by those who deny the truth. May God destroy them! How far astray they have been led!

W.Khan 9:30
