Verse (4:89)

The analysis above refers to the 89th verse of chapter 4 (sūrat l-nisāa):

Sahih International: They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.
