And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah ¹ is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-Al-Harâm (the sanctuary at Makkah),² unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.

Kill them wherever you come upon them¹ and drive them out of the places from which they have driven you out. For persecution² is far worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque unless they attack you there. If they do so, then fight them—that is the reward of the disbelievers.
