Basic HTML Version
He that flees his homeland for the cause ofAllah shall find numerous
places of refuge in the land and great abundance. He that leaves his
dwelling to fight for Allah and His Apostle and is then overtaken by
death, shall be rewarded byAllah.Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
It is no offence for you to shorten your prayers when travelling the
road if you fear that the unbelievers may attack you. The unbelievers
are your sworn enemies.
When you are with the faithful, conducting their prayers, let one
party of them rise up with you, armed with their weapons. After
making their prostrations, let them withdraw to the rear and then let
another party who have not prayed come forward and pray with you:
and let these also be on their guard, armed with their weapons. It would
much please the unbelievers if you neglected your arms and your
baggage, so that they could swoop upon you with one assault. But it is
no offence for you to lay aside your arms when overtaken by heavy rain
or stricken with an illness, although you must be always on your guard.
Allah has prepared a shameful punishment for the unbelievers.
When your prayers are ended, remember Allah standing, sitting, and
lying down. Attend regularly to your prayers so long as you are safe:
for prayer is a duty incumbent on the faithful, to be conducted at
appointed hours.
Seek out your enemies relentlessly. If you have suffered, they too
have suffered: but you at least hope to receive from Allah what they
cannot hope for.Allah is Knowing,Wise.
We have revealed to you the Book with the truth, so that you may
