Translation

Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Fight in order to raise the word of Allah, against those of the disbelievers who fight you to turn you away from the religion of Allah; but do not overstep the limits of Allah by killing children, women, the elderly, or by mutilating the dead and so on. Allah does not love those who overstep the limits He has established and made sacred.
