"When the Messenger of Allah appointed
anyone as leader of an army or
detachment he would especially exhort
him... He would say: Fight in the name
of Allah and in the way of Allah.
Fight against those who disbelieve in
Allah. Make a holy war...

When you meet your enemies who are poly-
theists, invite them to three courses
of action. If they respond to any one
of these, you also accept it and with-
hold yourself from doing them any harm.
Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they
respond to you, accept it from them and
desist from fighting against them...

If they refuse to accept Islam, demand
from them the Jizya. If they agree to
pay, accept it from them and hold off
your hands. If they refuse to pay the
tax, seek Allah's help and fight them.
