1. Freedom from (all) obligations (is declared) from Allâh and his Messenger () to those of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers In the Oneness of Allâh), with whom You made a treaty.
2. so travel freely (O Mushrikûn - see V.2:105) for four months (as You will) throughout the land, but know that You cannot escape (from the punishment of) Allâh, and Allâh will disgrace the disbelievers.
3. and a declaration from Allâh and his Messenger to mankind on the greatest Day (the 10th of Dhul-Hijjah - the 12th month of Islâmic calendar) that Allâh is free from (all) obligations to the Mushrikûn (See V.2:105) and so is his Messenger. so if You (Mushrikûn) repent, it is better for you, but if You turn away, Then know that You cannot escape (from the punishment of) Allâh. and give tidings (O Muhammad ) of a painful torment to those who disbelieve.
4. except those of the Mushrikûn 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 Allâh loves Al- Mattaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).
5. Then when the sacred months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islâmic calendar) have passed, Then kill the Mushrikûn (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-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât, Then leave their Way free. Verily, Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
6. and if anyone of the Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers In the Oneness of Allâh) seeks Your protection Then grant Him protection, so that He may hear the word of Allâh (the Qur'ân), 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 Allâh and with his Messenger for the Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers In the Oneness of Allâh) except those with whom You made a Covenant near Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah)? so long, as they are true to you, stand You true to them. Verily, Allâh loves Al-Muttaqûn (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 Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
9. they have purchased with the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh 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-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât) and give Zakât, Then they are Your brethren In religion. (in This way) we explain the Ayât (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? Allâh has more Right that You should fear him, if You are believers.
14. fight against them so that Allâh 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. Allâh accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
16. do You think that You shall be left alone while Allâh has not yet tested those among You who have striven hard and fought and have not taken Walîjah [(Batanah - helpers, advisors and consultants from disbelievers, pagans, etc.) giving openly to them their secrets] besides Allâh and his Messenger, and the believers. Allâh is Well-Acquainted with what You do.
17. it is not for the Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers In the Oneness of Allâh), to maintain the Mosques of Allâh (i.e. to pray and Worship Allâh 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 Allâh shall be maintained Only by those who believe In Allâh and the Last Day; perform As-Salât (Iqâmat-as-Salât), and give Zakât and fear none but Allâh. 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-Harâm (at Makkah) as equal to the worth of those who believe In Allâh and the Last day, and strive hard and fight In the Cause of Allâh? they are not equal before Allâh. and Allâh guides not those people who are the Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers).
20. those who believed (in the Oneness of Allâh - Islâmic Monotheism) and emigrated and strove hard and fought In Allâh's Cause with their wealth and their lives are far higher In degree with Allâh. 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 Allâh is a great reward.
23. O You who believe! take not for Auliyâ' (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 Zâlimûn (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 Allâh and his Messenger, and striving hard and fighting In his Cause , Then wait until Allâh brings about his decision (torment). and Allâh guides not the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).
25. truly Allâh 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 Allâh did send down his Sakînah (calmness, tranquillity and reassurance, etc.) on the Messenger (Muhammad), 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 Allâh will Accept the repentance of whom He will. and Allâh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
28. O You who believe (in Allâh's Oneness and In his Messenger (Muhammad)! Verily, the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers In the Oneness of Allâh, and In the message of Muhammad ) are Najasun (impure) . so let them not come near Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) after This year, and if You fear poverty, Allâh will enrich You if He will, out of his Bounty. surely, Allâh is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
29. fight against those who (1) believe not In Allâh, (2) nor In the Last day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and his Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the Religion of Truth (i.e. Islâm) 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 Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. that is a saying from their mouths. they imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allâh's Curse be on them, How they are deluded away from the truth!
31. they (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allâh (by obeying them In things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without being ordered by Allâh), and (They also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), while they (Jews and Christians) were commanded [in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)) to Worship none but one Ilâh (God - Allâh) Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the Right to be worshipped but He) . praise and Glory be to him, (Far above is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him)."
