وجاهدوا في الله حق جهاده هو اجتباكم وما جعل عليكم في الدين من حرج ملة ابيكم ابراهيم هو سماكم المسلمين من قبل وفي هذا ليكون الرسول شهيدا عليكم وتكونوا شهداء على الناس فاقيموا الصلاة واتوا الزكاة واعتصموا بالله هو مولاكم فنعم المولى ونعم النصير

And strive in His cause As ye ought to strive, (With sincerity and under discipline). He has chosen you, and has Imposed no difficulties on you In religion; it is the cult Of your father Abraham. It is He Who has named You Muslims, both before And in this (Revelation); That the Apostle may be A witness for you, and ye Be witnesses for mankind! So establish regular Prayer, Give regular Charity, And hold fast to God! He is your Protector— The best to protect And the Best to help!
