by Moulavi Gerágh Ali

[Sidenote: (35) Ibid, 59.]

48. "O ye who believe! should any of you desert his religion, God will then raise up a people whom He loveth, and who love Him, lowly towards the faithful, lofty to the unbelievers (Yojáhidoona) striving in the path of God, and not fearing the blame of the blamer. This is the Grace of God; on whom He will He bestoweth it, and God is all-embracing, Omniscient!"

Sale ... "They shall fight for the religion of God."

Rodwell ... "For the cause of God will they contend."

Palmer ... "Strenuous in the way of God."
