If We had prescribed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your homes: they would not have done it except a few of them; yet if they had done what they are exhorted to do, it would surely have been better for them … . We would then bestow upon them a great reward from Ourselves … . Whoever so obeys Allah and the Messenger shall be among those upon whom Allah has bestowed His favors.

THE QUR’AN, Al-Nisa, 4:67–71

If they turn back [from Allah], seize them and kill them wherever you find them … .

THE QUR’AN, Al-Nisa, 4:89–92
