The Holy Quran 47:35 — Surah Muhammad

Arabic text

فَلَا تَهِنُوا۟ وَتَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلسَّلْمِ وَأَنتُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَوْنَ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَكُمْ وَلَن يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمَـٰلَكُمْ

Translation

So (O Muslims) do not lose courage (to fight the Kuffaar), do not call for a truce (peace merely to avoid Jihaad because of cowardice) and you will be dominant (over the Kuffaar). Allaah is with you (and will always assist you) and will never devalue your deeds (but will grant you the full reward for every good you do. Just be patient and persevere and obey orders of Islaam).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Do not make peace out of fear of the hardships of jihad: that is, the Muslims should not become sluggish and faint-hearted in facing the disbelievers, nor, alarmed by the hardships of war, rush towards peace. Otherwise the enemy will grow bold and keep pressing harder, and the community of Islam will have to suffer defeat and humiliation.
