The Holy Quran 9:28 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلْمَسْجِدَ ٱلْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَـٰذَا ۚ وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ عَيْلَةً فَسَوْفَ يُغْنِيكُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِۦٓ إِن شَآءَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! Verily the Mushrikeen are (spiritually) impure (because they practise Shirk) and should not approach the Masjidul Haraam (should not enter the Haram) after this year (9 A.H.). If you fear poverty (because they will not be there to trade with you), then soon Allaah shall make you wealthy by His grace if He wills (the Muslims soon became independent of the Kuffaar and prospered greatly). Surely Allaah is All Knowing (He knows the dangers you face by having the Kuffaar in your midst), The Wise (this command of His as well as all His other commands are full of wisdom).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
