تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١١﴾
١١ - (وہ یہ کہ) خدا پر اور اس کے رسولﷺ پر ایمان لاؤ اور خدا کی راہ میں اپنے مال اور جان سے جہاد کرو۔ اگر سمجھو تو یہ تمہارے حق میں بہتر ہے .
[61:11] [It is that] you believe in Allah and His Messenger and strive in the cause of Allah with your wealth and your lives. That is best for you, if you should know.
[Transliteration] Tu'minoona billaahi wa Rasoolihee wa tujaahidoona fee sabeelil laahi bi amwaalikum wa anfusikum, zaalikum khairul lakum in kuntum ta'lamoon
