The Holy Quran 66:9 — Surah At-Tahrim

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ جَـٰهِدِ ٱلْكُفَّارَ وَٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَٱغْلُظْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۚ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

Translation

O Nabi ﷺ! Strive (with your sword, tongue and pen) against the Kuffaar and the Munaafiqeen (using all resources available) and be stern with them. Their abode is Jahannam. What an evil abode indeed!

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
