Masih, son of Mariam, though they were ordered to serve one God
only. There is no god but Him. Exalted be He above those whom they
associate withHim!
They desire to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths: but
Allah seeks only to perfect His light, though the infidels abhor it.
It is He who has sent forth His Apostle with guidance and the true
faith to make it triumphant over all religions, however much the
polytheists may dislike it.
Believers, many are the rabbis and the monks who defraud men of
their possessions and debar people from the path of Allah. Those that
hoard up gold and silver and do not spend it in Allah's cause-proclaim
to them a woeful punishment. On (that) day their treasures will be
heated in the fire of Hell, and their foreheads, sides, and backs branded
with them. They will be told: 'These are the riches which you hoarded.
Taste then that which youwere hoarding.'
Allah ordained the months twelve in number when He created the
heavens and the earth. Of these, four are sacred, according to the true
faith. Therefore, do not wrong yourselves in them and fight against the
idolaters all together as they themselves fight against you all together.
Know thatAllah is with the righteous.
The postponement of sacred months is a grossly impious practice, in
which the unbelievers are misguided. They allow it one year and forbid
it the next, so that they may make up for the months which Allah has
sanctified, thus making lawful what Allah has forbidden. Their foul
acts seem fair to them:Allah does not guide the unbelievers.
