8. Sūrat al-Anfāl
٨۔ سُورَةُ الأنفَال
Say to those who have disbelieved ˹that˺ if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them. But if they return ˹to hostility˺ - then the precedent of the former ˹rebellious˺ peoples has already taken place.
قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ يَنْتَهُوا يُغْفَرْ لَهُمْ مَا قَدْ سَلَفَ وَإِنْ يَعُودُوا فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّتُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
And fight them until there is no fitnah and ˹until˺ the religion, all of it, is for Allah. And if they cease - then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.
وَقَاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّىٰ لَا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَيَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
But if they turn away - then know that Allah is your protector. Excellent is the protector, and Excellent is the helper.
وَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَوْلَاكُمْ ۚ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلَىٰ وَنِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ
