217 They ask you concerning the sacred month about fighting in it. Say: Fighting in it is a grave matter, and hindering (men) from Allah's way and denying Him, and (hindering men from) the Sacred Mosque and turning its people out of it, are still graver with Allah, and persecution is graver than slaughter; and they will not cease fighting with you until they turn you back from your religion, if they can; and whoever of you turns back from his religion, then he dies while an unbeliever-- these it is whose works shall go for nothing in this world and the hereafter, and they are the inmates of the fire; therein they shall abide.
Lakini huenda mkachukia kitu nacho ni kheri kwenu. Na huenda mkapenda kitu nacho ni shari kwenu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anajua na nyinyi hamjui. 217 Wanakuuliza juu ya kupigana vita katika mwezi mtakatifu. Sema: Kupigana vita wakati huo ni dhambi kubwa. Lakini kuzuilia watu wasende katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu na kumkanusha Yeye, na kuzuilia watu wasende kwenye Msikiti Mtakatifu na kuwatoa watu wake humo, ni makubwa zaidi mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Na fitina ni mbaya zaidi kuliko kuuwa. Wala hawatoacha kupigana nanyi mpaka wakutoeni katika Dini yenu kama wakiweza. Na yeyote katika nyinyi akiacha Dini yake akafa naye ni kafiri, basi hao ndio ambao a'mali zao zimeharibika duniani na Akhera. Na hao ndio watu wa Motoni; humo watadumu.
