"They will ask you about fighting in the sacred month. Say, “Fighting in it is a terrible thing; but turning men away from the path of Allah and denying Him, and [turning them away from] the Inviolable House of Worship and expelling its people therefrom — [all this] is yet more terrible in the sight of Allah, since oppression is much worse than killing.” [Your enemies] will not cease fighting against you till they have turned you away from you døn, if they can. But if any of you should turn away from his døn and die as a denier of the truth, [then] these it is whose works will go for naught in this world and in the life to come; and these it is who are destined for the fire, therein to abide." (Quran 2:217)
