“And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from where they drove you out; persecution is worse than killing. And do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.” (Quran 2:191)
In summary, the verse teaches that:
- Persecution is worse than killing.
- If you are oppressed, you are justified in defending yourself, even if it means using violence.
- However, it is important to exercise restraint and only fight when absolutely necessary.
