Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil's strategy is ever weak.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم قال تعالى : ( الذين آمنوا يقاتلون في سبيل الله والذين كفروا يقاتلون في سبيل الطاغوت ) أي : المؤمنون يقاتلون في طاعة الله ورضوانه ، والكافرون يقاتلون في طاعة الشيطان .

ثم هيج تعالى المؤمنين على قتال أعدائه بقوله : ( فقاتلوا أولياء الشيطان إن كيد الشيطان كان ضعيفا )
