Quran 9:10At-Tawba, verse 10

M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation

Where believers are concerned, they respect no tie of kinship or treaty. They are the ones who are committing aggression.

لَا يَرْقُبُونَ فِي مُؤْمِنٍ إِلًّا وَلَا ذِمَّةً ۚ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُعْتَدُونَ

lā yarqubūna fī mu'minin illan walā dhimmatan wa-ulāika humu l-muʿ'tadūna
