يسألونك عن الشهر الحرام قتال فيه ۖ قل قتال فيه كبير ۖ وصد عن سبيل الله وكفر به والمسجد الحرام وإخراج أهله منه أكبر عند الله ۚ والفتنة أكبر من القتل ۗ ولا يزالون يقاتلونكم حتى يردوكم عن دينكم إن استطاعوا ۚ ومن يرتدد منكم عن دينه فيمت وهو كافر فأولئك حبطت أعمالهم في الدنيا والآخرة ۖ وأولئك أصحاب النار ۖ هم فيها خالدون

Al Baqarah

یَسْــٴَـلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الشَّهْرِ الْحَرَامِ قِتَالٍ فِیْهِؕ-قُلْ قِتَالٌ فِیْهِ كَبِیْرٌؕ-وَ صَدٌّ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ كُفْرٌۢ بِهٖ وَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِۗ-وَ اِخْرَاجُ اَهْلِهٖ مِنْهُ اَكْبَرُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۚ-وَ الْفِتْنَةُ اَكْبَرُ مِنَ الْقَتْلِؕ-وَ لَا یَزَالُوْنَ یُقَاتِلُوْنَكُمْ حَتّٰى یَرُدُّوْكُمْ عَنْ دِیْنِكُمْ اِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوْاؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّرْتَدِدْ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ دِیْنِهٖ فَیَمُتْ وَ هُوَ كَافِرٌ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ حَبِطَتْ اَعْمَالُهُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ-وَ اُولٰٓىٕكَ اَصْحٰبُ النَّارِۚ-هُمْ فِیْهَا خٰلِدُوْنَ(217)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

They ask you about performing Jihad in the sacred month. Say, “Fighting in this month is a major sin. And preventing from the way of Allah and disbelieving in Him, and preventing access to the Sacred House; and banishing those who live there is an even greater sin with Allah;[1] and discord is a greater offence than killing. And they will never cease to fight you until they make you renounce your religion if they are able to[2]. And whosoever renounces his faith from among you then dies in the very state of disbelief, so all their deeds have become void in this world and in the Hereafter; and they are the people of the Fire; they will remain therein forever.[3]

Commentary

[1]

This proves that criticizing others despite being at greater fault is the way of the disbelievers. This disease is widespread in our era. People fault and backbite the whole world, and yet they are often tainted with greater evils themselves.

[2]

The verse explains how disbelievers will always hate Muslims and strive to turn them away from religion. Today, many organisations of the disbelievers are working in innovative ways to distance Muslims from Islam, debilitate their morals, and weaken their faith.

[3]

Remember, apostasy is a severe offence. Nowadays, many Muslims are ignorant of fundamental beliefs and so readily utter blasphemous statements in times of happiness and sorrow.
