Aya 41
41
انفِروا خِفافًا وَثِقالًا وَجاهِدوا بِأَموالِكُم وَأَنفُسِكُم في سَبيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ ذٰلِكُم خَيرٌ لَكُم إِن كُنتُم تَعلَمونَ

Yusuf Ali

Go ye forth, (whether equipped)1 lightly or heavily, and strive and struggle, with your goods and your persons, in the cause of God. That is best for you, if ye (but) knew.
  • Whether equipped lightly or heavily, to be taken both literally and metaphorically. All were invited, and they were to bring such resources as they had?lightly armed or heavily armed, on foot or mounted, experienced men for posts of danger, raw men for duties for which they were fit-all would and should help. Even those who were too old or feeble to go could contribute such money or resources as they had.
