3. Thalika bi-anna allatheena kafaroo ittabaAAoo albatila waanna allatheena amanoo

3. This because those who reject Allah follow vanities, while those who believe follow
the Truth from their Lord: Thus does Allah set forth for men their lessons by similitudes.

4. Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length,
when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the
time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye
commanded): but if it had been Allah.s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution
from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But
those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
