كَيْفَ How يَكُونُ can (there) be لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ for the polytheists عَهْدٌ a covenant عِندَ with ٱللَّهِ Allah وَعِندَ and with رَسُولِهِۦٓ His Messenger إِلَّا except ٱلَّذِينَ those (with) whom عَـٰهَدتُّمْ you made a covenant عِندَ near ٱلْمَسْجِدِ Al-Masjid ٱلْحَرَامِ ۖ Al-Haraam فَمَا So long as ٱسْتَقَـٰمُوا۟ they are upright لَكُمْ to you فَٱسْتَقِيمُوا۟ then you be upright لَهُمْ ۚ to them إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحِبُّ loves ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ the righteous ٧

كَيْفَ How وَإِن while, if يَظْهَرُوا۟ they gain dominance عَلَيْكُمْ over you لَا they do not regard (the ties) يَرْقُبُوا۟ they do not regard (the ties) فِيكُمْ with you إِلًّۭا (of) kinship وَلَا and not ذِمَّةًۭ ۚ covenant of protection يُرْضُونَكُم They satisfy you بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ with their mouths وَتَأْبَىٰ but refuse قُلُوبُهُمْ their hearts وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ and most of them فَـٰسِقُونَ (are) defiantly disobedient ٨

ٱشْتَرَوْا۟ They exchange بِـَٔايَـٰتِ [with] the Verses of Allah ٱللَّهِ [with] the Verses of Allah ثَمَنًۭا (for) a little price قَلِيلًۭا (for) a little price فَصَدُّوا۟ and they hinder (people) عَن from سَبِيلِهِۦٓ ۚ His way إِنَّهُمْ Indeed سَآءَ evil مَا (is) what كَانُوا۟ they used to يَعْمَلُونَ do ٩

لَا Not يَرْقُبُونَ they respect (the ties) فِى towards مُؤْمِنٍ a believer إِلًّۭا (of) kinship وَلَا and not ذِمَّةًۭ ۚ covenant of protection وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ And those هُمُ [they] ٱلْمُعْتَدُونَ (are) the transgressors ١٠

فَإِن But if تَابُوا۟ they repent وَأَقَامُوا۟ and establish ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer وَءَاتَوُا۟ and give ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ the zakah فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ then (they are) your brothers فِى in ٱلدِّينِ ۗ [the] religion وَنُفَصِّلُ And We explain in detail ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ the Verses لِقَوْمٍۢ for a people يَعْلَمُونَ (who) know ١١

وَإِن And if نَّكَثُوٓا۟ they break أَيْمَـٰنَهُم their oaths مِّنۢ after بَعْدِ after عَهْدِهِمْ their treaty وَطَعَنُوا۟ and defame فِى [in] دِينِكُمْ your religion فَقَـٰتِلُوٓا۟ then fight أَئِمَّةَ the leaders ٱلْكُفْرِ ۙ (of) [the] disbelief إِنَّهُمْ indeed, they لَآ no أَيْمَـٰنَ oaths لَهُمْ for them لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَنتَهُونَ cease ١٢

أَلَا Will not تُقَـٰتِلُونَ you fight قَوْمًۭا a people نَّكَثُوٓا۟ who broke أَيْمَـٰنَهُمْ their oaths وَهَمُّوا۟ and determined بِإِخْرَاجِ to drive out ٱلرَّسُولِ the Messenger وَهُم and they بَدَءُوكُمْ began (to attack) you أَوَّلَ first مَرَّةٍ ۚ time أَتَخْشَوْنَهُمْ ۚ Do you fear them فَٱللَّهُ But Allah أَحَقُّ (has) more right أَن that تَخْشَوْهُ you should fear Him إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ١٣
