فَإِن تَابُوا۟ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۗ وَنُفَصِّلُ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

Translations

But if they repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, then they are your brothers in religion; and We detail the verses for a people who know.

Mais s'ils se repentent, accomplissent la Salât et acquittent la Zakat, ils deviendront vos frères en religion. Nous exposons intelligiblement les versets pour des gens qui savent.

Tafsir

If they repent to Allah from their disbelief, pronounce the two declarations of faith, establish the prayer, give the Zakat of their wealth, then they will become Muslims and they will be your brothers in religion. They will then have the same rights and duties as you and it will not be lawful for you to fight them. Their acceptance of Islam will protect their lives, wealth and honour. Allah explains the verses clearly to a people who know, as they are the ones who will benefit from them and will cause others to benefit as well.

(In this way) We explain the Ayat in detail for a people who know (11) Allah admonishes the idolators and encourages the believers to fight against them because, اشْتَرَوْا بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا (They have purchased with the Ayat of Allah a little gain,) idolators exchanged following the Ayat of Allah with the lower affairs of life that they indulged in, فَصَدُّوا عَن سَبِيلِهِ (and they hindered men from His way), trying to prevent the believers from following the truth, إِنَّهُمْ سَاءَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ - لَا يَرْقُبُونَ فِي مُؤْمِنٍ إِلًّا وَلَا ذِمَّةً (evil indeed is that which they used to do. With regard to a believer, they respect not the ties, either of kinship or of covenant!)[9:9-10]. We explained these meanings before, as well as, the meaning of, فَإِن تَابُوا وَأَقَامُوا الصَّلَاةَ (But if they repent, perform the Salah...)
