But if they repent, perform prayer, and pay alms-tax, then they are your brothers in faith. This is how We make the revelations clear for people of knowledge.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:12

وَإِن

نَّكَثُوٓاْ

أَيۡمَٰنَهُم

مِّنۢ

بَعۡدِ

عَهۡدِهِمۡ

وَطَعَنُواْ

فِي

دِينِكُمۡ

فَقَٰتِلُوٓاْ

أَئِمَّةَ

ٱلۡكُفۡرِ

إِنَّهُمۡ

لَآ

أَيۡمَٰنَ

لَهُمۡ

لَعَلَّهُمۡ

يَنتَهُونَ

١٢

But if they break their oaths after making a pledge and attack your faith, then fight the champions of disbelief—who never honour their oaths—so perhaps they will desist.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:13

أَلَا

تُقَٰتِلُونَ

قَوۡمٗا

نَّكَثُوٓاْ

أَيۡمَٰنَهُمۡ

وَهَمُّواْ

بِإِخۡرَاجِ

ٱلرَّسُولِ

وَهُم

بَدَءُوكُمۡ

أَوَّلَ

مَرَّةٍۚ

أَتَخۡشَوۡنَهُمۡۚ

فَٱللَّهُ

أَحَقُّ

أَن

تَخۡشَوۡهُ

إِن

كُنتُم

مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

١٣

Will you not fight those who have broken their oaths, conspired to expel the Messenger ˹from Mecca˺, and attacked you first? Do you fear them? Allah is more deserving of your fear, if you are ˹true˺ believers.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:14

قَٰتِلُوهُمۡ

يُعَذِّبۡهُمُ

ٱللَّهُ

بِأَيۡدِيكُمۡ

وَيُخۡزِهِمۡ

وَيَنصُرۡكُمۡ

عَلَيۡهِمۡ

وَيَشۡفِ

صُدُورَ

قَوۡمٖ

مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

١٤

˹So˺ fight them and Allah will punish them at your hands, put them to shame, help you overcome them, and soothe the hearts of the believers—

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:15

وَيُذۡهِبۡ

غَيۡظَ

قُلُوبِهِمۡۗ

وَيَتُوبُ

ٱللَّهُ

عَلَىٰ

مَن

يَشَآءُۗ

وَٱللَّهُ

عَلِيمٌ

حَكِيمٌ

١٥

removing rage from their hearts. And Allah pardons whoever He wills. For Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:16

أَمۡ

حَسِبۡتُمۡ

أَن

تُتۡرَكُواْ

وَلَمَّا

يَعۡلَمِ

ٱللَّهُ

ٱلَّذِينَ

جَٰهَدُواْ

مِنكُمۡ

وَلَمۡ

يَتَّخِذُواْ

مِن

دُونِ

ٱللَّهِ

وَلَا

رَسُولِهِۦ

وَلَا

ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

وَلِيجَةٗۚ

وَٱللَّهُ

خَبِيرُۢ

بِمَا

تَعۡمَلُونَ

١٦

Do you ˹believers˺ think that you will be left without Allah proving who among you ˹truly˺ struggles ˹in His cause˺ and never takes trusted allies other than Allah, His Messenger, or the believers? And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:17

مَا

كَانَ

لِلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ

أَن

يَعۡمُرُواْ

مَسَٰجِدَ

ٱللَّهِ

شَٰهِدِينَ

عَلَىٰٓ

أَنفُسِهِم

بِٱلۡكُفۡرِۚ

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ

حَبِطَتۡ

أَعۡمَٰلُهُمۡ

ٱلنَّارِ

هُمۡ

خَٰلِدُونَ

١٧

It is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah while they openly profess disbelief. Their deeds are void, and they will be in the Fire forever.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:18

إِنَّمَا

يَعۡمُرُ

مَسَٰجِدَ

ٱللَّهِ

مَنۡ

ءَامَنَ

بِٱللَّهِ

وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ

ٱلۡأٓخِرِ

وَأَقَامَ

ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ

وَءَاتَى

ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ

وَلَمۡ

يَخۡشَ

إِلَّا

ٱللَّهَۖ

فَعَسَىٰٓ

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ

أَن

يَكُونُواْ

مِنَ

ٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ

١٨

The mosques of Allah should only be maintained by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and fear none but Allah. It is right to hope that they will be among the ˹truly˺ guided.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:19

۞ أَجَعَلۡتُمۡ

سِقَايَةَ

ٱلۡحَآجِّ

وَعِمَارَةَ

ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ

ٱلۡحَرَامِ

كَمَنۡ

ءَامَنَ

بِٱللَّهِ

وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ

ٱلۡأٓخِرِ

وَجَٰهَدَ

فِي

سَبِيلِ

ٱللَّهِۚ

لَا

يَسۡتَوُۥنَ

عِندَ

ٱللَّهِۗ

وَٱللَّهُ

لَا

يَهۡدِي

ٱلۡقَوۡمَ

ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

١٩

Do you ˹pagans˺ consider providing the pilgrims with water and maintaining the Sacred Mosque as equal to believing in Allah and the Last Day and struggling in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in Allah’s sight. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

9:20

ٱلَّذِينَ

ءَامَنُواْ

وَهَاجَرُواْ

وَجَٰهَدُواْ

فِي

سَبِيلِ

ٱللَّهِ

بِأَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡ

وَأَنفُسِهِمۡ

أَعۡظَمُ

دَرَجَةً

عِندَ

ٱللَّهِۚ

وَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ

هُمُ

ٱلۡفَآئِزُونَ

٢٠

Those who have believed, emigrated, and strived in the cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives are greater in rank in the sight of Allah. It is they who will triumph.

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
