Sura Al-Taubah from 32 to 36


32. They ( the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians ) want to extinguish Allâh’s Light ( with which Muhammad ( saas ) has been sent - Islâmic Monotheism ) with their mouths, but Allâh will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kâfirûn ( disbelievers ) hate ( it ) .
33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) with guidance and the religion of truth ( Islâm ) , to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn ( polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh ) hate ( it ) .
34. O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the ( Jewish ) rabbis and the ( Christian ) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder ( them ) from the Way of Allâh ( i.e. Allâh’s religion of Islâmic Monotheism ) . And those who hoard up gold and silver [ Al- Kanz: the money, the Zakât of which has not been paid ] and spend them not in the Way of Allâh, announce unto them a painful torment.
35. On the Day when that ( Al- Kanz: money, gold and silver the Zakât of which has not been paid ) will be heated in the Fire of Hell and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, ( and it will be said unto them ) : « This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste of what you used to hoard. » [ 1 ]
36. Verily, the number of months with Allâh is twelve months ( in a year ) , so was it ordained by Allâh 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 Islâmic calendar ) . That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the Mushrikûn ( polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh ) collectively [ 2 ] as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allâh is with those who are Al- Muttaqûn ( the pious - See V.2:2 ) .
