Some passages from the Qur'an on the topic of Jihad are listed below. Three different translations are represented.

002.190

YUSUFALI: Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loveth not transgressors.

PICKTHAL: Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loveth not aggressors.

SHAKIR: And fight in the way of Allah with those who fight with you, and do not exceed the limits, surely Allah does not love those

who exceed the limits.

002.193

YUSUFALI: And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they

cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression.

PICKTHAL: And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility

except against wrong-doers.

SHAKIR: And fight with them until there is no persecution, and religion should be only for Allah, but if they desist, then there should

be no hostility except against the oppressors.

002.256

YUSUFALI: Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath

grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.

PICKTHAL: There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false

deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.

SHAKIR: There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; therefore, whoever

disbelieves in the Shaitan and believes in Allah he indeed has laid hold on the firmest handle, which shall not break off, and Allah is

Hearing, Knowing.

004.095

YUSUFALI: Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah

with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to

those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath Allah promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above

those who sit (at home) by a special reward,-

PICKTHAL: Those of the believers who sit still, other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, are not on an equality with those who

strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and lives. Allah hath conferred on those who strive with their wealth and lives a rank above

the sedentary. Unto each Allah hath promised good, but He hath bestowed on those who strive a great reward above the sedentary;

SHAKIR: The holders back from among the believers, not having any injury, and those who strive hard in Allah's way with their

property and their persons are not equal; Allah has made the strivers with their property and their persons to excel the holders back a

(high) degree, and to each (class) Allah has promised good; and Allah shall grant to the strivers above the holders back a mighty

reward:

029.005

YUSUFALI: For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the term (appointed) by Allah

is surely coming and He hears and knows (all things).

PICKTHAL: Whoso looketh forward to the meeting with Allah (let him know that) Allah's reckoning is surely nigh, and He is the

Hearer, the Knower.

SHAKIR: Whoever hopes to meet Allah, the term appointed by Allah will then most surely come; and He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
