Sura 9
Aya 37
37
إِنَّمَا النَّسيءُ زِيادَةٌ فِي الكُفرِ ۖ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذينَ كَفَروا يُحِلّونَهُ عامًا وَيُحَرِّمونَهُ عامًا لِيُواطِئوا عِدَّةَ ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فَيُحِلّوا ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ ۚ زُيِّنَ لَهُم سوءُ أَعمالِهِم ۗ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِي القَومَ الكافِرينَ

Wahiduddin Khan

The postponing of [sacred months] is but one more instance of [their] refusal to acknowledge the truth -- by which those who are bent on denying the truth are led astray. They declare this to be permissible in one year and forbidden in another year, so that they may adjust the months which God has sanctified, thus making lawful what God has forbidden. Their evil deed seems fair to them: God does not guide those who deny the truth.
