The Holy Quran 4:76 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ فَقَـٰتِلُوٓا۟ أَوْلِيَآءَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۖ إِنَّ كَيْدَ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا

Translation

The Mu'mineen fight in Allaah's way (for Allaah's pleasure) and the Kuffaar fight in the way (for the pleasure) of Shaytaan. So (O Muslims!) fight the allies (conspirators) of Shaytaan. Indeed the scheme (plans, conspiracies, deceptions) of Shaytaan (against the Muslims) is ever weak.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Encouragement to jihad: that is, since it is evident that the Muslims fight in the path of Allah and the disbelievers in the path of Shaytan, it is necessary for the Muslims to fight without hesitation against the friends of Shaytan, that is, the disbelievers: Almighty Allah is their helper.
