Al-Baqarah 2: 190–3

(190) Fight in the way of Al lah against those who fight against you but do not transgress, for Allah does not love transgressors. (191) Kill them whenever you confront them and drive them out from where they drove you out. (For though killing is sinful) wrongful persecution is even worse than killing.59 Do not fight against them near the Holy Mosque unless they fight against you; but if they fight against you kill them, for that is the reward of such unbelievers. (192) Then if they desist, know well that Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Compassionate.

(193) Keep on fighting against them until mischief ends and the way prescribed by Allah prevails. But if they desist, then know that hostility is directed only against the wrong-doers.

that the essence of moral excellence consists of fearing God and abstaining from disobeying His commands.

59 Here the word fitnah is used in the sense of “persecution”. It refers to a situation whereby either a person or a group is subjected to harassment and intimidation for having accepted what is right and rejected what is wrong.
