They ask you about fighting during the Holy Month. Say, "Fighting during it is deplorable; but to bar others from God's path, and to disbelieve in Him, and to prevent access to the Holy Mosque, and to expel its people from it, are more deplorable with God. And persecution is more serious than killing. They will not cease to fight you until they turn you back from your religion, if they can. Whoever among you turns back from his religion, and dies a disbeliever-those are they whose works will come to nothing, in this life, and in the Hereafter. Those are the inmates of the Fire, abiding in it forever.
Does the Qur'an set a death penalty for leaving Islam?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 2:217 States what follows for one who turns from his religion and dies an unbeliever - works failing, and the Fire. In because it is the clearest statement of a consequence in the set, and because that consequence falls after death.
- 02 4:89 The verse this question is usually asked about. In all four renderings it commands seizing and killing, and in all four the words around it are about war, leaving one's home, and turning back to enmity.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
Among these verses, none states a worldly penalty for leaving Islam. 2:217 says that whoever turns from his religion and dies an unbeliever has works that fail in this world and the next, and names the Fire - a consequence after death, not a sentence carried out by people.
4:89 is the verse this question is usually asked about. In all four renderings it commands seizing and killing, and in all four the surrounding words are war: those who want you to disbelieve, who do not leave their homes, who turn back to enmity. The next verses in the same run (4:90, 4:91) turn on whether they offer peace. What that verse governs is a contested reading, and settling it needs the interpretation layer, which is blocked on rights.
The other verses here matched the search on wording only: 7:88 and 18:20 are threats made to believers to force them back, and 47:38 is about withholding wealth.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which uncleared source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: no source has cleared the rights audit. It does not report how any commentator has read them: no has cleared it either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no cleared English edition exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading, because that layer is not built. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 2:217, widening across 2 passages in all.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

They question thee (O Muhammad) with regard to warfare in the sacred month. Say: Warfare therein is a great (transgression), but to turn (men) from the way of Allah, and to disbelieve in Him and in the Inviolable Place of Worship, and to expel His people thence, is a greater with Allah; for persecution is worse than killing. And they will not cease from fighting against you till they have made you renegades from your religion, if they can. And whoso becometh a renegade and dieth in his disbelief: such are they whose works have fallen both in the world and the Hereafter. Such are rightful owners of the Fire: they will abide therein
They will ask thee of the sacred month,- of fighting therein. Say, 'Fighting therein is a great sin; but turning folks off God's way, and misbelief in Him and in the Sacred Mosque, and turning His people out therefrom, is a greater in God's sight; and sedition is a greater sin than slaughter.' They will not cease from fighting you until they turn you from your religion if they can; but whosoever of you is turned from his religion and dies while still a misbeliever; these are those whose works are vain in this world and the next; they are the fellows of the Fire, and they shall dwell therein for aye
They will ask thee concerning war in the Sacred Month. SAY: To war therein is bad, but to turn aside from the cause of God, and to have no faith in Him, and in the Sacred Temple, and to drive out its people, is worse in the sight of God; and civil strife is worse than bloodshed. They will not cease to war against you until they turn you from your religion, if they be able: but whoever of you shall turn from his religion and die an infidel, their works shall be fruitless in this world, and in the next: they shall be consigned to the fire; therein to abide for aye
They will ask thee concerning the sacred month, whether they may war therein: Answer, to war therein is grievous; but to obstruct the way of God, and infidelity towards him, and to keep men from the holy temple, and to drive out his people from thence, is more grievous in the sight of God, and the temptation to idolatry is more grievous than to kill in the sacred months. They will not cease to war against you, until they turn you from your religion, if they be able: But whoever among you shall turn back from his religion, and die an infidel, their works shall be vain in this world, and the next; they shall be the companions of hell fire, they shall remain therein for ever

Të pyesin për luftën në muajin e shenjtë.

A smutnja je gora od ubijanja!" Oni će se neprestano boriti protiv vas dok vas ne odvrate od vjere vaše, ako budu mogli!

Sie fragen dich nach dem Schutzmonat, nach dem Kampf in ihm. Sag: „Der Kampf in ihm ist schwerwiegend. Aber vom Weg Allahs abzuhalten - und nicht an Ihn zu glauben (und Ihn zu verleugnen) -, und von der geschützten Gebetsstätte (abzuhalten) und deren Anwohner von ihr vertreiben, ist (noch) schwerwiegender bei Allah. Und Heimsuchung (in Form von Schirk) ist schwerwiegender als das Töten. Und sie werden nicht eher aufhören, gegen euch zu kämpfen, bis sie euch von eurer Religion abgekehrt haben, wenn sie (es) können. Wer nun unter euch sich von seiner Religion abkehrt und dann als Ungläubiger stirbt, so sind das jene, deren Werke im Diesseits und im Jenseits hinfällig werden. Und jene sind die Insassen des (Höllen)feuers. Sie werden ewig darin verweilen.
Σε ρωτούν (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) σχετικά με το να πολεμάτε κατά τους ιερούς μήνες (Δη-αλ-Κί‘ντα, Δη-αλ-Χίτζα, Μουχάρραμ και Ράτζαμπ). Πες: «Ο πόλεμος εκείνο το διάστημα είναι μια τεράστια (παραβίαση), μα είναι μεγαλύτερη (παραβίαση) ενώπιον του Αλλάχ, (αυτά που κάνουν οι άπιστοι, όπως) η αποτροπή (των ανθρώπων) από τον δρόμο του Αλλάχ (το Ισλάμ), η απιστία σ’ Αυτόν, (η αποτροπή των πιστών από την πρόσβαση στο) Ιερό Τζαμί (στη Μάκκα) και ο εξορισμός των κατοίκων του (Ιερού Τζαμιού) από αυτό. Και η Αλ-Φίτνα (η απιστία τους) είναι χειρότερη από τον φόνο.» Και (οι άπιστοι) θα συνεχίσουν να σας πολεμούν (ω, Μουσουλμάνοι) μέχρι να σας στρέψουν μακριά από τη θρησκεία σας αν μπορούν. Και όποιος από σας αποστατήσει από τη θρησκεία του και πεθάνει ως άπιστος – γι’ αυτούς, οι (καλές) πράξεις τους θα καταργηθούν σ’ αυτόν τον κόσμο και στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή, και αυτοί είναι οι κάτοικοι του Πυρός, θα κατοικήσουν εκεί μέσα για πάντα.
(ऐ नबी!) वे[136] आपसे सम्मानित मास में युद्ध करने के बारे में पूछते हैं। आप उनसे कह दें कि उसमें युद्ध करना बहुत गंभीर (पाप) है, परंतु अल्लाह के मार्ग से रोकना और उसका इनकार करना और मस्जिदे-ह़राम से रोकना और उसके वासियों को उससे निकालना, अल्लाह के निकट उससे भी बड़ा (पाप) है, तथा फ़ितना (शिर्क), हत्या से अधिक बड़ा है। और वे तुमसे हमेशा युद्ध करते रहेंगे, यहाँ तक कि तुम्हें तुम्हारे धर्म से फेर दें, यदि कर सकें, और तुममें से जो व्यक्ति अपने धर्म (इस्लाम) से फिर जाए, फिर इस हाल में मरे कि वह काफ़िर हो, तो ये ऐसे लोग हैं जिनके कार्य दुनिया तथा आख़िरत में बर्बाद हो गए तथा यही लोग आग वाले हैं, वे उसमें हमेशा रहने वाले हैं।
Ti chiedono del mese Sacro: «Ci potrebbe essere in quel mese un combattimento?» Di’: «Il combattimento in questo mese è un’eresia! Ma sbarrare il sentiero di Allāh e rinnegare Lui e Al-Masjid Al-Ħarām ﴿المَسْجِد الحَرَام﴾ ed esiliare la sua gente, è ancora più grave presso Allāh. E l’idolatria è peggio dell’omicidio. E non si stancheranno di combattere contro di voi finché non vi faranno rinnegare la vostra religione, se riescono. E a chi tra voi rinnega la propria religione e morirà da miscredente, saranno annullate le azioni fatte in terra e nell’Aldilà. E quelli saranno gente destinata al Fuoco e ci resteranno in eterno”.

Sakyk: „Kovojimas jų metu yra didis (nusižengimas), bet didesnis (nusižengimas) Allahui yra kliudyti žmonijai sekti Allaho keliu, netikėti Juo, kliudyti pasiekti Al-Masdžid-Al-Haram (Mekkoje), ir išvaryti jos gyventojus, ir Al-Fitna yra blogiau nei žudymas.“ Ir jie niekada nesiliaus kovoję su jumis, kol jie išves jus iš jūsų tikėjimo (islamiškojo monoteizmo), jei tik galės. Ir jei kas iš jūsų palieka savo tikėjimą ir miršta kaip netikintysis, tada jo darbai bus prarasti šiame gyvenime ir Amžinybėje, ir jie bus Ugnies gyventojai. Jie gyvens ten amžinai.

Они спрашивают тебя о запретном месяце — о сражении в нём. Скажи: «Сражение в нём — великое [зло], однако отвращение от пути Аллаха, неверие в Него, [препятствование доступу] к Заповедной Мечети и изгнание её обитателей оттуда — ещё большее [зло] перед Аллахом. А смута — хуже убийства». Они не перестанут сражаться с вами, пока не отвратят вас от вашей религии, если смогут. А кто из вас отступит от своей религии и умрёт, отвергнув веру, то такие — тщетны их деяния в этом мире и в Последней жизни. Такие — обитатели адского огня, они пребудут в нём вечно.
Питају те о светом месецу, о ратовању у њему! Реци: „Ратовање у њему је велики грех; али, одвраћање од Аллаховог пута и неверовање у Њега, и одвраћање од Часног храма и изгоњење становника његових, још је већи грех код Аллаха. А смутња је гора од убијања! Они ће непрестано да се боре против вас док вас не одврате од ваше вере, ако буду могли! А они међу вама који од вере своје отпадну и као неверници умру - њихова дела биће поништена на овом свету, а и на Будућем. Они ће становници Ватре да буду и тамо ће вечно да остану.
Wanakuuliza juu ya kupigana vita katika mwezi mtakatifu. Sema: Kupigana vita ndani yake ni dhambi kubwa. Lakini kuzuia watu wasiende katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu na kumkufuru Yeye, na kuzuilia watu wasiende kwenye Msikiti Mtakatifu na kuwatoa watu wake humo, ni makubwa zaidi mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Na fitina ni jambo kubwa zaidi kuliko kuua. Wala hawataacha kupigana nanyi mpaka wawatoe katika Dini yenu kama wakiweza. Na yeyote katika nyinyi atakayeacha Dini yake, na akafa hali ya kuwa ni kafiri, basi hao ndio ambao matendo yao yameharibika katika dunia na Akhera. Na hao ndio watu wa Motoni. Wao humo watadumu.
De frågar dig om strid under de helgade månaderna. Säg: ”Att strida under dem är en allvarlig överträdelse. Men det som är värre inför Gud är att hindra andra från Guds väg, att förneka honom och [att hindra tillträde] från den heliga moskén och fördriva dess folk därifrån. Och prövningen [med avguderi] är värre än dråp.” De kommer att fortsätta att strida mot er tills de får er att lämna er tro, om de kan. För den av er som överger sin tro och dör som otrogen går handlingarna förlorade i detta och i det kommande livet. Dessa är eldens folk, och i den ska de förbli.
Sana haram ayı onda savaşmayı soruyorlar. De ki: O ayda savaşmak büyük suçtur, Allah yolundan alıkoymak, onu inkâr etmek, Mescid-i Haram’a (girmeye) engel olmak ve halkını oradan çıkarmak Allah katında daha büyük suçtur. Fitne (çıkarmak)/şirk ise, öldürmekten daha büyüktür. Güçleri yeterse sizi dininizden döndürünceye kadar sizinle savaşmaya devam ederler. Sizden kim dininden dönüp, kâfir olarak ölürse, işte onlar, amelleri dünyada ve ahirette boşa gidenlerdir. İşte onlar ateş ehlidir. Orada ebedi kalacaklardır.
لوگ آپ سے حرمت والے مہینوں میں لڑائی کی بابت سوال کرتے ہیں، آپ کہہ دیجیئے کہ ان میں لڑائی کرنا بڑا گناه ہے، لیکن اللہ کی راه سے روکنا، اس کے ساتھ کفر کرنا اور مسجد حرام سے روکنا اور وہاں کے رہنے والوں کو وہاں سے نکالنا، اللہ کے نزدیک اس سے بھی بڑا گناه ہے یہ فتنہ قتل سے بھی بڑا گناه ہے[1] ، یہ لوگ تم سے لڑائی بھڑائی کرتے ہی رہیں گے یہاں تک کہ اگر ان سے ہوسکے تو تمہیں تمہارے دین سے مرتد کردیں[2] اور تم میں سے جو لوگ اپنے دین سے پلٹ جائیں اور اسی کفر کی حالت میں مریں، ان کے اعمال دنیوی اور اخروی سب غارت ہوجائیں گے۔ یہ لوگ جہنمی ہوں گے اور ہمیشہ ہمیشہ جہنم میں ہی رہیں گے۔[3]

The translators word this verse differently
They would love to see you disbelieve, just as they disbelieve, so you would become equal. So do not befriend any of them, unless they emigrate in the way of God. If they turn away, seize them and execute them wherever you may find them; and do not take from among them allies or supporters.
Compare translations (4)
They long that ye should disbelieve even as they disbelieve, that ye may be upon a level (with them). So choose not friends from them till they forsake their homes in the way of Allah; if they turn back (to enmity) then take them and kill them wherever ye find them, and choose no friend nor helper from among them
They would fain that ye misbelieve as they misbelieve, that ye might be alike; take ye not patrons from among them until they too flee in God's way; but if they turn their backs, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them, and take from them neither patron nor help
They desire that ye should be infidels as they are infidels, and that ye should be alike. Take therefore none of them for friends, till they have fled their homes for the cause of God. If they turn back, then seize them, and slay them wherever ye find them; but take none of them as friends or helpers
They desire that ye should become infidels, as they are infidels, and that ye should be equally wicked with themselves. Therefore take not friends from among them, until they fly their country for the religion of God; and if they turn back from the faith, take them, and kill them where-ever ye find them; and take no friend from among them, nor any helper

Εύχονται να αρνηθείτε την πίστη όπως αυτοί αρνήθηκαν την πίστη, ώστε να γίνετε όλοι ίσοι. Επομένως, μην πάρετε απ' αυτούς συμμάχους μέχρι να μεταναστεύσουν στο δρόμο του Αλλάχ (και να χωριστούν από τους πολυθεϊστές, ως απόδειξη της πίστης τους). Αν όμως αρνηθούν (να μεταναστεύσουν δείχνοντας την απιστία τους), πάρτε τους και σκοτώστε τους όπου τους βρείτε, και μην πάρετε απ' αυτούς ούτε συμμάχους ούτε υποστηρικτές, [Βλ. Εδάφιο 97 από το ίδιο κεφάλαιο, για περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες].

Они хотели бы, чтобы вы отвергли веру, как отвергли веру они, и тогда вы оказались бы равными. Так не берите же из них покровителей, пока они не переселятся на пути Аллаха. И если они отвернутся, то захватывайте их и убивайте, где бы вы их ни нашли, и не берите из их числа ни покровителя, ни помощника.
Они би волели да и ви не верујете као што они не верују, па да будете једнаки. Зато, између њих не узимајте пријатеље док се не иселе на Аллаховом Путу. А ако се окрену, онда их хватајте и убијајте где год их нађете и између њих пријатеље и помагаче не узимајте.

De vill att ni ska förkasta tron, liksom de själva har förkastat den, så att ni alla blir lika. Ta därför inte någon av dem till förtrogen förrän de utvandrar för Guds skull. Men om de vänder sig bort, grip dem då och döda dem var ni än finner dem, och ta ingen av dem till hjälpare eller beskyddare.
Onlar, kendileri küfre saptıkları gibi, keşke siz de küfre sapsanız da eşit olasınız isterler. Allah yolunda hicret etmedikçe onlardan dost edinmeyin. Dolayısıyla eğer yüz çevirirlerse, bu durumda onları tutun ve bulduğunuz yerde öldürün. Onlardan dost ve yardımcı edinmeyin.
ان کی تو چاہت ہے کہ جس طرح کے کافر وه ہیں تو بھی ان کی طرح کفر کرنے لگو اور پھر سب یکساں ہو جاؤ، پس جب تک یہ اسلام کی خاطر وطن نہ چھوڑیں ان میں سے کسی کو حقیقی دوست نہ بناؤ[1] ، پھر اگر یہ منھ پھیر لیں تو انہیں پکڑو[2] اور قتل کرو جہاں بھی یہ ہاتھ لگ جائیں[3]، خبردار! ان میں سے کسی کو اپنا رفیق اور مددگار نہ سمجھ بیٹھنا۔

The translators word this verse differently
What is the matter with you, divided into two factions regarding the hypocrites, when God Himself has overwhelmed them on account of what they did? Do you want to guide those whom God has led astray? Whomever God leads astray-you will never find for him a way.

Why are ye two parties about the hypocrites, when God hath overturned them for what they earned? Do ye wish to guide those whom God hath led astray? Whoso God hath led astray ye shall not surely find for him a path
Why are ye two parties on the subject of the hypocrites, when God hath cast them off for their doings? Desire ye to guide those whom god hath led astray? But for him whom God leadeth astray, thou shalt by no means find a pathway

Ye shall find others who are desirous to enter into a confidence with you, and at the same time to preserve a confidence with their own people: So often as they return to sedition, they shall be subverted therein; and if they depart not from you, and offer you peace, and restrain their hands from warring against you, take them and kill them wheresoever ye find them; over these have we granted you a manifest power
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it3 of the 4 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 2:217, 4:89, in full, and nothing else. No , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography was consulted, because none has cleared the rights audit. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verse set began as a word search over the four public-domain renderings, run in mushaf order with no relevance ordering, and was then confirmed by the Editor. Verses matching the search on wording alone were proposed for removal and confirmed out: 7:88 - Matched on return + religion. It is Shuʿayb's people threatening to expel him and the believers unless they return - a threat made against believers, not a penalty imposed by them.; 18:20 - Matched on return + religion. It is the sleepers fearing they will be stoned or forced back by their own townspeople - again a threat made to believers.; 47:38 - Matched on turn back. It is about withholding wealth from a cause and being replaced by another people, and has nothing to do with leaving a religion. Why each verse is in the study is stated per verse in the selection, and is signed with this prose.
Where the renderings part company, named rather than resolved. The study names the differences it turns on and does not choose between them.
