At-Tawbah 9:13 الا تقاتلون قوما نكثوا ايمانهم وهموا باخراج الرسول وهم بدءوكم اول مرة اتخشونهم فالله احق ان تخشوه ان كنتم مومنين ١٣

تُقَٰتِلُونَ
قَوۡمٗا
نَّكَثُوٓاْ
أَيۡمَٰنَهُمۡ
وَهَمُّواْ
بِإِخۡرَاجِ
ٱلرَّسُولِ
وَهُم
بَدَءُوكُمۡ
أَوَّلَ
مَرَّةٍۚ
أَتَخۡشَوۡنَهُمۡۚ
فَٱللَّهُ
أَحَقُّ
أَن
تَخۡشَوۡهُ
إِن
كُنتُم
مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Read in Context

Chapter 9, Page 188, Juz 10

12. But if they break their oath after having made an agreement with you, if they revile your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief- oaths mean nothing to them- so that they may stop. 13. How could you not fight a people who have broken their oaths, who tried to drive the Messenger out, who attacked you first? Do you fear them? It is God you should fear if you are true believers. 14. Fight them: God will punish them at your hands, He will disgrace them, He will help you to conquer them, He will heal the believers’ feelings 15. and remove the rage from their hearts. God turns to whoever He will in His mercy; God is all knowing and wise. 16. Do you think that you will be left untestedwithout God identifying which of you will strive for His cause and take no supporters apart from God, His Messenger, and other believers? God is fully aware of all your actions.

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
