Sura 8, Al-Anfal (The Spoils of War)

In (the) name
(of) Allah,

the Most Gracious,

the Most Merciful.
8:1


















They ask you
about

the spoils of war.
Say,

"The spoils of war
(are) for Allah

and the Messenger.

So fear
Allah

and set right
that

(which is) between you

and obey
Allah

and His Messenger,
if

you are

believers."
8:2
















Only

the believers

(are) those who
when

is mentioned
Allah

feel fear

their hearts,
and when

are recited

to them

His Verses,

they increase them

(in) faith,
and upon

their Lord

they put their trust.
8:3






Those who

establish

the prayer

and out of what

We have provided them

they spend.
8:4











Those -
they are

the believers
(in) truth.
For them

(are) ranks
with

their Lord

and forgiveness

and a provision

noble.
8:5











As

brought you out
your Lord
from

your home

in truth,
while indeed,

a party
among

the believers

certainly disliked.
8:6







![[the] death](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-6-9.png)



They dispute with you
concerning

the truth

after what

was made clear,

as if

they were driven
to
![[the] death](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-6-9.png)
[the] death

while they

(were) looking.
8:7






















And when

promised you
Allah

one

(of) the two groups -
that it (would be)

for you -

and you wished
that
(one) other than
that

(of) the armed

would be
for you.

But intended
Allah
to
justify

the truth

by His words,

and cut off
(the) roots

(of) the disbelievers
8:8







That He might justify

the truth

and prove false

the falsehood,
even if

disliked (it)

the criminals.
8:9



![[to] you,](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-9-5.png)






When

you were seeking help

(of) your Lord

and He answered
![[to] you,](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-9-5.png)
[to] you,
"Indeed, I am

going to reinforce you

with a thousand
of

the Angels

one after another."
8:10








![[the] victory](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-10-10.png)


![[of]](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-10-13.png)





And not

(it was) made
(by) Allah
but

good tidings

and so that might be at rest
with it

your hearts.
And (there is) no
![[the] victory](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-10-10.png)
[the] victory
except
from
![[of]](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-10-13.png)
[of]
Allah.
Indeed,
Allah

(is) All-Mighty,

All-Wise.
8:11

![with [the] slumber,](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-11-3.png)














![[on]](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-11-18.png)




When

He covered you
![with [the] slumber,](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-11-3.png)
with [the] slumber,

a security

from Him,

and sent down

upon you
from

the sky
water,

so that He may purify you
with it,

and take away

from you

evil (suggestions)

(of) the Shaitaan.

And to strengthen
[on]

your hearts

and make firm
with it

your feet.
8:12





















![fingertip[s]."](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-12-23.png)
When

inspired

your Lord
to

the Angels,
"I am

with you,

so strengthen

those who

believed.

I will cast
in

(the) hearts

(of) those who

disbelieved -

the terror,

so strike
above

the necks

and strike

from them

every
![fingertip[s]."](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-12-23.png)
fingertip[s]."
8:13











![in [the] penalty.](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-13-13.png)

That

(is) because they

opposed
Allah

and His Messenger.

And whoever

opposes
Allah

and His Messenger,

then indeed,
Allah

(is) severe
![in [the] penalty.](/quran/words-own/tajweed/8/8-13-13.png)
in [the] penalty.
8:14






That -

"So taste it."

And that,

for the disbelievers

(is the) punishment

(of) the Fire.
8:15











O you

who

believe!
When

you meet

those who

disbelieve

advancing,
then (do) not

turn to them

the backs.
8:16




















And whoever

turns to them

that day

his back
except

(as) a strategy

of war
or

(to) join
to

a group,

certainly
(he has) incurred

wrath

of
Allah

and his abode

(is) Hell,

a wretched

destination.
8:17




















And not

you kill them,

but
Allah

killed them.
And not

you threw
when

you threw,

but
Allah
threw

and that He may test

the believers
from Him

(with) a trial

good.
Indeed,
Allah

(is) All-Hearing,

All-Knowing.
8:18






That (is the case)
and that,
Allah (is)

one who makes weak

(the) plan

(of) the disbelievers.
8:19























If

you ask for victory
then certainly

has come to you

the victory.
And if

you desist,
then it (is)

good

for you,
but if

you return,
We will return (too).
And never
will avail

you

your forces

anything,
even if

(they are) numerous.

And that
Allah
(is) with

the believers.
8:20











O you

who

believe!

Obey
Allah

and His Messenger.
And (do) not
turn away

from him

while you

hear.
