32.
They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to
extinguish Allâh’s Light (with which Muhammad صلى
الله عليه
وسلم has been sent - Islâmic Monotheism) with their
mouths, but Allâh will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even
though the
Kâfirûn (disbelievers) hate (it).
33.
It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad صلى
الله عليه
وسلم) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islâm),
to make it superior over all religions even though the
Mushrikûn (polytheists,
pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) hate (it).
34.
O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and
the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder
(them) from the Way of Allâh (i.e. Allâh’s religion of Islâmic Monotheism).
And those who hoard up gold and silver [
Al-Kanz: the money, the
Zakât
of which has not been paid] and spend them not in the Way of Allâh,
announce unto them a painful torment.
35.
On the Day when that (
Al-Kanz: money, gold and silver the
Zakât
of which has not been paid) will be heated in the Fire of Hell and with it
will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, (and it will be
said unto them): "This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves.
Now taste of what you used to hoard."

36.
Verily, the number of months with Allâh is twelve months (in a
year), so was it ordained by Allâh on the Day when He created the heavens and
the earth; of them four are Sacred (i.e. the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th
months of the Islâmic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong not
yourselves therein, and fight against the
Mushrikûn (polytheists,
pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) collectively
[2]
as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allâh is with those who
are
Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2).
