وَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ And kill them حَيْثُ wherever ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ you find them وَأَخْرِجُوهُم and drive them out مِّنْ from حَيْثُ wherever أَخْرَجُوكُمْ ۚ they drove you out وَٱلْفِتْنَةُ and [the] oppression أَشَدُّ (is) worse مِنَ than ٱلْقَتْلِ ۚ [the] killing وَلَا And (do) not تُقَـٰتِلُوهُمْ fight them عِندَ near ٱلْمَسْجِدِ Al-Masjid ٱلْحَرَامِ Al-Haraam حَتَّىٰ until يُقَـٰتِلُوكُمْ they fight you فِيهِ ۖ in it فَإِن Then if قَـٰتَلُوكُمْ they fight you فَٱقْتُلُوهُمْ ۗ then kill them كَذَٰلِكَ Such جَزَآءُ (is the) reward ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ (of) the disbelievers ١٩١
And kill them [in battle] wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al-Ḥarām until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
