This is a complementary to the previous verse, giving more detail of the commandment, and a clear view of it; saying: ``Kill the idolators who avoid not any crime, wherever you find them and expel them from Mecca, where from they expelled you.''

      The Arabic word `FETNEH' translated here `TUMULT', means putting a piece of gold in the fire, to find its measure of goodness and purity. Idolatry and its corruptions and immoralities had defiled the Sacred Mosque. The consequences of its corruption was worse than that of war and murder, for the society. Therefore the verse here implies that: for fear of slaying and bloodshed you should not stop fighting against idolatry which in its very self, is worse and more dangerous than killing and blood-shed.

      Then another important matter is brought to light by the verse; and that is to regard the sanctity of the sacred territory of the house of Allah, saying:

      ``And do not fight with them at the sacred mosque, until they fight with you in it. And if they fight you within the precincts of the sacred mosque, then kill them - and such is the recompense of the unbelievers.''
