39 Preface وَقاتِلوهُم حَتّىٰ لا تَكونَ فِتنَةٌ وَيَكونَ الدّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ ۚ فَإِنِ انتَهَوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِما يَعمَلونَ بَصيرٌYusuf AliAnd fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God1 altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily God doth see all that they do.2Cf. 2:193 and n. 207.If they cease from fighting and from the persecution of truth, God judges them by their actions and their motives, and would not wish that they should be harassed with further hostility. But if they refuse all terms, the righteous has nothing to fear: God will help and protect them.
