Quran 2:279 — Al-Baqara, verse 279
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
If you do not, then be warned of war from God and His Messenger. You shall have your capital if you repent, and without suffering loss or causing others to suffer loss.
فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا فَأْذَنُوا بِحَرْبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ۖ وَإِنْ تُبْتُمْ فَلَكُمْ رُءُوسُ أَمْوَالِكُمْ لَا تَظْلِمُونَ وَلَا تُظْلَمُونَ
fa-in lam tafʿalū fadhanū biḥarbin mina l-lahi warasūlihi wa-in tub'tum falakum ruūsu amwālikum lā taẓlimūna walā tuẓ'lamūna
