فَقَـٰتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ لَا تُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا نَفْسَكَ ۚ وَحَرِّضِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَكُفَّ بَأْسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَشَدُّ بَأْسًا وَأَشَدُّ تَنكِيلًا

EnglishSaheeh International
So fight, [O Muḥammad], in the cause of Allāh; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allāh will restrain the [military] might of those who disbelieve. And Allāh is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.

எனவே, நீர் அல்லாஹ்வின் பாதையில் போர் புரிவீராக. உம்மைத் தவிர, வேறு யாரையும் நீர் கட்டாயப் படுத்துவதற்கில்லை. எனினும் முஃமின்களைத் தூண்டுவீராக. நிராகரிப்போரின் எதிர்ப்பை அல்லாஹ் தடுத்துவிடுவான் - ஏனெனில் அல்லாஹ் வலிமை மிக்கோன், இன்னும் தண்டனை கொடுப்பதிலும் கடுமையானவன்.

එසේ නම් (නබිවරය!) නුඹ අල්ලාහ්ගේ මාර්ගයේ සටන් වදිනු. නුඹට මිස වෙනත් කිසිවකුට බල කරනු නො ලැබේ. තවද දේවත්වය විශ්වාස කළවුන්ව දිරි ගන්වනු. දේව ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළවුන්ගේ ප්‍රහාරය අල්ලාහ් මැඩපවත්වනු ඇත. තවද අල්ලාහ් ප්‍රහාර එල්ල කිරීමෙහි ඉතා දැඩි ය; තවද දඬුවම් දීමෙහි ද ඉතා දැඩි ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
تو اللہ تعالیٰ کی راه میں جہاد کرتا ره، تجھے صرف تیری ذات کی نسبت حکم دیا جاتا ہے، ہاں ایمان والوں کو رغبت دﻻتا ره، بہت ممکن ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کافروں کی جنگ کو روک دے اور اللہ تعالیٰ سخت قوت واﻻ ہے اور سزادینے میں بھی سخت ہے۔

だからアッラーの道のために戦え。あなた(ムハンマド)は,自分に対してだけ,責めを負わされているのだ。信者たちを激励しなさい。おそらくアッラーは,信仰しない者たちの戦意を抑止されよう。アッラーの武勇はなにものよりも優れ,その罰もはるかに厳しいのである。
ChineseMa Jian
你当为主道而抗战,你只负你自己的行为的责任,你当鼓励信士们努力抗战,也许真主阻止不信道者的战斗。真主的权力是更强大的,他的刑罚是更严厉的。

Tafsir of 4:84

Allah Commands His Messenger to Perform Jihad Allah commands His servant and Messenger, Muhammad ﷺ, to himself fight in Jihad and not to be concerned about those who do not join Jihad. Hence Allah's statement, لاَ تُكَلَّفُ إِلاَّ نَفْسَكَ (you are not tasked (held responsible except for yourself,) Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Abu Ishaq said, "I asked Al-Bara bin `Azib about a man who meets a hundred enemies and still fights them, would he be one of those referred to in Allah's statement, وَلاَ تُلْقُواْ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ (And do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the cause of Allah)) He said, `Allah said to His Prophet, فَقَاتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لاَ تُكَلَّفُ إِلاَّ نَفْسَكَ وَحَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (Then fight in the cause of Allah, you are not tasked (held responsible) except for yourself, and incite the believers (to fight along with you))." Imam Ahmad recorded Sulayman bin Dawud saying that Abu Bakr bin `Ayyash said that Abu Ishaq said, "I asked Al-Bara', `If a man attacks the lines of the idolators, would he be throwing himself to destruction' He said, `No because Allah has sent His Messenger and commanded him, فَقَاتِلْ ف…
