Transliteration:( Allazeena aamanoo yuqaatiloona fee sabeelil laahi wallazeena kafaroo yuqaatiloona fee sabeelit Taaghoot faqaatiloo awliyaaa'ash Shaitaan; inna kaidash Shaitaani kaana da'eefa )
244. The infidels fight either to please the devil, or to spread infidelity, or for the sake of gaining territories. From this we learn that the Believers do not fight for any of these reasons,
they fight only to gain the pleasure of Allah.Â
War of kings is for tyranny and territorial gains. War of Believers is to emulate the way of the Prophethood.

The tafsir of Surah Nisa verse 76 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nisa ayat 75 which provides the complete commentary from verse 75 through 76.
(4:76) Those who have faith fight in the way of Allah, while those who disbelieve fight in the way of taghut (Satan).[105] Fight, then, against the fellows of Satan. Surely Satan’s strategy is weak.[106]
105. This lays down a clear verdict of God. To fight in the cause of God in order that His religion be established on earth is the task of men of faith, and whoever truly believes can never shirk this duty. To fight in the cause of taghut (authority in defiance of God) in order that the world may be governed by rebels against God is the task of unbelievers in which no believer can engage himself.
106. Satan and his comrades-in-arms ostensibly undertake tremendous preparations and contrive all kinds of ingenious machinations. True men of faith, however, should not be intimidated either by such preparations or by machinations. For, no matter what they do, they are doomed to fail.
