Surah At-Tawbah

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ قَـٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ يَلُونَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ وَلْيَجِدُوا۟ فِيكُمْ غِلْظَةً ۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū qātilul-lażīna yalūnakum minal-kuffāri wal-yajidū fīkum gilẓah(tan), wa‘lamū annallāha ma‘al-muttaqīn(a).

O you who have believed, fight those adjacent to you of the disbelievers and let them find in you harshness. And know that Allah is with the righteous.

📝 Footnotes
339) Islam does not teach Muslims to fight disbelievers simply because of their disbelief. Permission to fight is only granted to avert all forms of oppression (in self-defense), such as when Muslims are attacked.
