جَاهِدُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ، وَأَنْفُسِكُمْ، وَأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ
Strive against the polytheists with your wealth, yourselves, and your tongues.

جَاهِدُوا is a plural imperative conveying serious striving or exertion. بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ means “with your wealth,” بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ “with yourselves,” and بِأَلْسِنَتِكُمْ “with your tongues.” The repeated preposition بِـ indicates the means of effort.
The narration names material, personal, and verbal forms of contribution. Such efforts have religious and ethical boundaries; questions involving the use of force cannot be resolved by personal impulse or slogans. At this beginner level, the focus is on the actual wording, responsible conduct, and awareness that further legal distinctions exist.
