9.31 - They took their scholars and their monks for lords other than Allah, and Christ son of Mariam while they were not commanded except that they should worship one God, there is no god but He; glory be to Him over what they associate (with Him). 9.32 - They want to extinguish the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah refuses but to complete His light, even if the unbelievers dislike it. 9.33 - It is He Who sent His messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all religions, even if the polytheists dislike it. 9.34 - O you who have believed! Indeed, many of the scholars and the monks eat away the wealth of the people in falsehood and hinder from the way of Allah. And those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah, give them tidings of a painful torture. 9.35 - The day when it (their gold) will be heated in the fire of hell and seared therewith will be their foreheads and their sides and their backs; this is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard. 9.36 - Indeed, the number of the months with Allah is twelve month in the book of Allah the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the valuable religion, so be not unjust to yourselves during them and fight the polytheists collectively as they fight you collectively and know that Allah is with the pious. 9.37 - Indeed, the postponement (of restrictions within the sacred months) is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led astray. They make it lawful one year and prohibit it another year to correspond to the number (of months) that Allah has prohibited, so they make lawful what Allah has prohibited. Made pleasing to them is the evil of their deeds; and Allah does not guide the unbelieving people. 9.38 - O you who have believed! What is (the matter) with you that, when it is said to you to go forth in the way of Allah, you adhere heavily to the land; are you pleased with the life of this world instead of the hereafter? But the enjoyment of the life of this world compared to the hereafter is not except a little. 9.39 - If you do not go forth, He will castigate you with a painful torture and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him in any thing. And Allah is over everything Capable. 9.40 - If you will not help him, Allah has already helped him when those who have disbelieved expelled him as second of two (men), when they were in the cave and he said to his companion: Grieve not; indeed, Allah is with us. So Allah sent down His tranquillity upon him and aided him with soldiers whom you did not see and made the word of those who have disbelieved the lowest, and the word of Allah is that which is the highest. And Allah is Mighty, Wise.
