فَاِذَا انْسَلَخَ الْاَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُوا الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ حَیْثُ وَجَدْتُّمُوْهُمْ وَ خُذُوْهُمْ وَ احْصُرُوْهُمْ وَ اقْعُدُوْا لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍۚ-فَاِنْ تَابُوْا وَ اَقَامُوا الصَّلٰوةَ وَ اٰتَوُا الزَّكٰوةَ فَخَلُّوْا سَبِیْلَهُمْؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(5)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

So when the sacred months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them ˹during war,˺[1] seize them, besiege them, and sit in every place of ambush for them. If they repent, establish the prayer, and give zakat, clear their path. Indeed, Allah is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

Commentary

[1]

This verse does not command the indiscriminate killing of disbelievers but is restricted to enemy combatants in the theatre of war. Many critics of Islam misinterpret this and similar verses in a bid to mar the image of Islam.
