surah Tawbah aya 36 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللَّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ ۚ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۚ وَقَاتِلُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَافَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَافَّةً ۚ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ﴾
[ التوبة: 36]
9:36 Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred. That is the correct religion, so do not wrong yourselves during them. And fight against the disbelievers collectively as they fight against you collectively. And know that Allah is with the righteous [who fear Him].
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishThere are twelve months of the year decreed by Allah, no more or less, which Allah established in the Preserved Tablet when He created the heavens and the earth.
Of these twelve months, four are sacred, during which Allah has forbidden fighting.
Three of them consecutive ( Dhū Al-Qa‘dah, Dhū Al-Ḥijjah and Muḥarram ), and one is on its own ( Rajab ).
The twelve months of the year, and respecting the sacredness of four of them, is the correct way of life.
Allah tells the believers not to wrong themselves during these sacred months by fighting, violating their sacredness.
Also, the believers are instructed to fight the idolaters all together as they fight them all together, and to know that Allah is with those who are Mindful, who follow what He instructs and stay away from what He has prohibited, and He helps and supports them.
If Allah supports anyone, no one will be able to defeat them.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred, (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) collectively, as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allah is with those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V. 2:2).

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year)- so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred: that is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikin idolaters collectively as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allah is with those who have Taqwa.

9:36 Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in translate in arabic
إن عدة الشهور عند الله اثنا عشر شهرا في كتاب الله يوم خلق السموات والأرض منها أربعة حرم ذلك الدين القيم فلا تظلموا فيهن أنفسكم وقاتلوا المشركين كافة كما يقاتلونكم كافة واعلموا أن الله مع المتقين
سورة: التوبة - آية: ( 36 ) - جزء: ( 10 ) - صفحة: ( 192 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
The calendar introduced by Allah when He created the universe -the heavens and the earth- determines the month as the space of time from one new moon to the next, corresponding to the period of one complete revolution of the moon in reference to a point, faxed or movable, and divides the year accordingly into twelve revolutions or months, four of which are sacred and exclusively appropriated to some special purpose emblematic of this right and commendable religion. Therefore, do not wrong yourselves during this period of time nor discredit yourselves by word or thought. And fight the idolaters in the whole as they fight you in the whole and do realize that Allah upholds those who entertain the profound reverence dutiful to Him
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(9:36) The fact is that the number of months ordained by Allah has been twelve since the time He created the heavens and the earth, *34 and out of these four are forbidden months: this is the right code of reckoning: therefore do not wrong yourselves by violating these months. *35 And fight against the mushriks all together even as they fight against you all together: *36 and note it well that Allah is with the Godfearing people.
Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in meaning
*34) This means that ever since Allah created the sun, the moon and the earth, the new moon takes place only once in a month; thus the year has always been of twelve months.
This has been mentioned to refute the practice of nasi (v. 37) whereby the pagan Arabs increased the number of the months of a year to 13 or 14 to enable them to interpose in the calendar the forbidden month which had been made lawful by them. (For fuller explanation see E.N. 37).
*35) "....do not wrong yourselves ....": "Do not let go waste the good things for which fighting has been made unlawful during these months by creating disorder in them that will ultimately be harmful to you also" . The four forbidden months are . . Zil-Q`adah, Zil-Hajjah and Muharram for Haj and Rajab for ' Umrah.
*36) That is, 'If the mushriks do not desist from fighting during these months, you should also fight them and present a united front against them, just as they put up a united front against you". This verse has been explained by v. 194 of Al-Baqarah.
Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in meaning in Urdu
حقیقت یہ ہے کہ مہینوں کی تعداد جب سے اللہ نے آسمان و زمین کو پیدا کیا ہے اللہ کے نوشتے میں بارہ ہی ہے، اور ان میں سے چار مہینے حرام ہیں یہی ٹھیک ضابطہ ہے لہٰذا ان چار مہینوں میں اپنے اوپر ظلم نہ کرو اور مشرکوں سے سب مل کر لڑو جس طرح وہ سب مل کر تم سے لڑتے ہیں اور جان رکھو کہ اللہ متقیوں ہی کے ساتھ ہے
