him to where he can be secure. That is because they are men without knowledge.
9:7
How can there be a league, before Allah and His Messenger, with the Pagans, except those with whom ye made a
treaty near the sacred Mosque. As long as these stand true to you, stand ye true to them: for Allah doth love the
righteous.
9:8
How (can there be such a league), seeing that if they get an advantage over you, they respect not in you the ties either
of kinship or of covenant. With (fair words from) their mouths they entice you, but their hearts are averse from you;
and most of them are rebellious and wicked.
9:9
The Signs of Allah have they sold for a miserable price, and (many) have they hindered from His way: evil indeed are
the deeds they have done.
9:10
In a Believer they respect not the ties either of kinship or of covenant! It is they who have transgressed all bounds.
9:11
But (even so), if they repent, establish regular prayers, and practise regular charity,- they are your brethren in Faith:
(thus) do We explain the Signs in detail, for those who understand.
9:12
But if they violate their oaths after their covenant, and taunt you for your Faith,- fight ye the chiefs of Unfaith: for their
oaths are nothing to them: that thus they may be restrained.
9:13
Will ye not fight people who violated their oaths, plotted to expel the Messenger, and took the aggressive by being the
first (to assault) you. Do ye fear them. Nay, it is Allah Whom ye should more justly fear, if ye believe!
9:14
