1 Allah and his messenger are not bound by treaties made with idolaters.
2 You can't escape Allah. Allah will confound the disbelievers.
3 Allah and his messenger have no obligation to idolaters. Give the disbelievers tidings of a painful doom.
5 Kill idolaters wherever you find them. Take them captive, attack them, and ambush them. (Unless they repent, convert to Islam, and pay the poor tax.)
6 If the idolaters seek your protection, protect them so they can hear the word of Allah. Then let them return home. 11 If they repent, worship Allah, and pay the poor-due, then they are Muslims. 12 But if they attack your religion, fight the heads of disbelief.
14 Fight them! Allah will use you to punish them. He will make you victorious.
17 The works of idolaters are vain, and they will live in the fire.
23 Don't be friends with disbelieving family members. Those who do so are wrong doers.
24 Don't value your wives and family more than Allah and his messenger (Muhammad).
26 Allah sent down an invisible army to punish disbelievers.
28 Idolaters are unclean. Keep them away from your places of worship.
29 Fight against those who have been given the scripture but don't believe in Allah. Humiliate them by forcing them to pay the tribute.
30 The Jews say Ezra is the son of Allah. The Christians say the Messiah is the son of Allah. Allah (himself) fights against them. How perverse are they!
31 Jews and Christians have worshiped their rabbis and monks.
33 Allah has sent his messenger (Muhammad) with the religion of truth. It (Islam) will prevail over all religion.
34 Give tidings of a painful doom to the rich and greedy Christian monks and Jewish rabbis.
35 They will be tormented in the fire and have their foreheads and backs branded.
36 Allah has established the number of months as twelve, four of which are holy. Wage war on all of the idolaters as they are waging war on all of you.
37 Allah doesn't guide disbelievers.
38 Don't enjoy this life. It's the hereafter that counts.
39 If you refuse to fight, Allah will afflict you with a painful doom. You can't hurt Allah. He can do anything.
40 Allah supported Muhammad with invisible armies.
41 Fight for Allah with your wealth and whatever weapons are available to you.
42 Those who refuse to fight for Allah (claiming they are unable) are liars who have destroyed their souls. 46 Even if they wanted to fight, Allah wouldn't have let them.
49 Disbelievers (and those who refuse to fight for Allah) will be surrounded by hell.
51 Everything is pre-determined by Allah.
52 Only two things can happen to those who fights for Allah: they will die and enter paradise, or they will be victorious. Allah will afflict our enemies with doom from him or from us.
53 Pay your contribution willingly. 54 Allah will not accept a contribution from disbelievers or idlers.
60 Give alms to poor people, travelers, to free slaves and debtors, and for the cause of Allah.
61 Those who vex the messenger of Allah (Muhammad) will receive a painful doom.
62 Believers should please Allah and Muhammad. 63 Whoever opposes Allah or Muhammad will go to hell. 65 Don't make fun of Allah and Muhammad.
66 You believed and then you disbelieved. We may pardon some of you, but we'll punish the rest.
68 Hypocrites and disbelievers, both men and women, are cursed by Allah and will be tormented forever.
71 Men and women believers should protect each other and help the poor. 72 They'll live in underground gardens where rivers flow. It'll be even better than the garden of Eden.
73 O Muhammad! Fight against disbelievers and hypocrites! Be harsh with them. They're going to hell. 74 They swear to Allah that they didn't do anything wrong. But they believed and then disbelieved. Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in this life and after they die. No one will help them. 79 They'll have a painful doom. 80 Don't bother asking Allah to forgive them. Even if you ask him seventy times, he won't forgive them, because they disbelieved him and Muhammad.
81 Those who didn't fight with Muhammad, said, "Don't go fight in the heat!" They'll feel the heat of hell. 82 Let them laugh now. They'll weep later.83 Tell them to sit with the useless. 84 Never pray for them, Muhammad, or stand by their graves. They disbelieved Allah and Muhammad. 85 Allah will punish them in this world and destroy their souls.
86 Those who sit at home are useless. 88 Those who fight with Muhammad and believe in him are the successful ones. 90 Those who lied to Allah and Muhammad sat at home. A painful doom will fall on those who disbelieve.
93 There is no excuse for wealthy people who refuse to give money to fight for Allah. They are content to be useless. Allah has sealed their hearts. 95 Let them be. They are unclean and will go to hell. 96 You may accept them, but Allah won't.
97 The wandering Arabs are even worse. They are ignorant hypocrites and disbelievers. 98 Things will end badly for them. 101 We will chastise them twice. Then they'll have a painful doom. 103 Take away their wealth.
107 Those who worship in a different way are liars.
111 Believers should sacrifice their lives and wealth to fight for Allah. They will kill and be killed. This is required by the Torah, Gospel, and Quran.
113 The prophet [Muhammad] and Muslims shouldn't pray for idolaters, even if they are relatives. They are people of hellfire.
114 Abraham disowned his father for being an enemy of Allah.
115 Allah never wanted to send anyone astray.
123 Muslims must fight their unbelieving neighbors. Be harsh with them.
124-5 When a surah is revealed, it only makes the disbelievers hearts more diseased. They will die disbelievers. 127 Allah turns away their hearts, because they don't understand.
