فَإِذَا
انسَلَخَ
الْأَشْهُرُ
الْحُرُمُ
فَاقْتُلُوا
الْمُشْرِكِينَ
حَيْثُ
وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ
وَخُذُوهُمْ
وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ
وَاقْعُدُوا
لَهُمْ
كُلَّ
مَرْصَدٍ
فَإِن
تَابُوا
وَأَقَامُوا
الصَّلَاةَ
وَآتَوُا
الزَّكَاةَ
فَخَلُّوا
سَبِيلَهُمْ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
غَفُورٌ
رَّحِيمٌ

Then, when the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every ambush. But if they repent, and maintain the prayer and give the zakat, then let them alone. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
— Ali Quli Qarai
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
