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

When the sacred months are over, slay the pagans wherever you find them. Capture, besiege, and ambush them. If they repent, perform prayers and pay the religious tax, set them free. God is All-forgiving and All-merciful.
