Abasement shall be cast upon them, wherever they are found, so that they have no strength and no protection, save, if they be [clinging to], a rope of Allahu ta’ālā, and a rope of the, believing, people, this being the latter's covenant of security for them on the condition that they pay the jizya, in other words, they have no protection other than this; they have incurred, they have ended up, with anger from Allahu ta’ālā, and poverty shall be cast upon them; that, is, because they disbelieved in Allah’s āyāt/verses, and slew the prophets without right; that (dhālika is [repeated] for emphasis), is, because they disobeyed, Allah’s command, and used to transgress, passing from what is lawful into what is unlawful.
