Transliteration:( Falaa tuti'il kaafireena wa jaahidhum bihee jihaadan kabeeraa )
"So obey not the disbelievers and strive against them with it (i.e., the Quran) a great striving [96]."
Allah commands the Prophet ﷺ not to obey the disbelievers who reject the truth and oppose the message. Their ways and demands are contrary to divine guidance.
The verse calls for striving (jihad) against disbelief using the Qur’an itself—through its wisdom, arguments, and truth. This great striving is a peaceful, intellectual, and spiritual struggle to uphold and spread Allah’s message against falsehood.

67. The Arabic words jihad-i-kabir imply three meanings:
(1) To exert utmost for the cause of Islam.
(2) To dedicate all the resources to this cause.
(3) To fight against the enemies of Islam on all possible fronts with all the resources in order to raise high the “Word of Allah”. This will include jihad with the tongue, the pen, wealth, life and every other available weapon.
