Surat Al-'Anfāl (The Spoils of War) - سورة الأنفال
      This is a portion of the entire surah.  View more context, or the entire surah.

Sahih International
They  ask  you,  [O  Muhammad],  about  the  bounties  [of  war].  Say,  "The  [decision concerning]  bounties  is  for Allah and  the  Messenger."    So  fear Allah and  amend  that which  is  between  you  and  obey Allah and  His  Messenger,  if  you  should  be  believers.
Sahih International
The  believers  are  only  those  who,  when Allah is  mentioned,  their  hearts  become fearful,  and  when  His  verses  are  recited  to  them,  it  increases  them  in  faith;  and  upon their  Lord  they  rely  -
Sahih International
The  ones  who  establish  prayer,  and  from  what  We  have  provided  them,  they  spend.
Sahih International
Those  are  the  believers,  truly.    For  them  are  degrees  [of  high  position]  with  their  Lord and  forgiveness  and  noble  provision.
Sahih International
[It  is]  just  as  when  your  Lord  brought  you  out  of  your  home  [for  the  battle  of  Badr]  in truth,  while  indeed,  a  party  among  the  believers  were  unwilling,
Sahih International
Arguing  with  you  concerning  the  truth  after  it  had  become  clear,  as  if  they  were  being driven  toward  death  while  they  were  looking  on.
Sahih International
[Remember,  O  believers],  when Allah promised  you  one  of  the  two  groups  -   that  it would  be  yours  -   and  you  wished  that  the  unarmed  one  would  be  yours.    But Allah intended  to  establish  the  truth  by  His  words  and  to  eliminate  the  disbelievers
Sahih International
That  He  should  establish  the  truth  and  abolish  falsehood,  even  if  the  criminals disliked  it.
Sahih International
[Remember]  when  you  asked  help  of  your  Lord,  and  He  answered  you,  "Indeed,  I  will reinforce  you  with  a  thousand  from  the  angels,  following  one  another."
Sahih International
And Allah made  it  not  but  good  tidings  and  so  that  your  hearts  would  be  assured thereby.    And  victory  is  not  but  from Allah .  Indeed, Allah is  Exalted  in  Might  and  Wise.
Sahih International
[Remember]  when  He  overwhelmed  you  with  drowsiness  [giving]  security  from  Him  and sent  down  upon  you  from  the  sky,  rain  by  which  to  purify  you  and  remove  from  you the  evil  [suggestions]  of  Satan  and  to  make  steadfast  your  hearts  and  plant  firmly thereby  your  feet.
Sahih International
[Remember]  when  your  Lord  inspired  to  the  angels,  "I  am  with  you,  so  strengthen those  who  have  believed.  I  will  cast  terror  into  the  hearts  of  those  who  disbelieved,  so strike  [them]  upon  the  necks  and  strike  from  them  every  fingertip."
Sahih International
That  is  because  they  opposed Allah and  His  Messenger.  And  whoever  opposes Allah and  His  Messenger  -   indeed, Allah is  severe  in  penalty.
Sahih International
"That  [is  yours],  so  taste  it."  And  indeed  for  the  disbelievers  is  the  punishment  of  the Fire.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  when  you  meet  those  who  disbelieve  advancing  [for  battle], do  not  turn  to  them  your  backs  [in  flight].
Sahih International
And  whoever  turns  his  back  to  them  on  such  a  day,  unless  swerving  [as  a  strategy]  for war  or  joining  [another]  company,  has  certainly  returned  with  anger  [upon  him]  from Allah ,  and  his  refuge  is  Hell  -   and  wretched  is  the  destination.
Sahih International
And  you  did  not  kill  them,  but  it  was Allah who  killed  them.  And  you  threw  not,  [O Muhammad],  when  you  threw,  but  it  was Allah who  threw  that  He  might  test  the believers  with  a  good  test.  Indeed, Allah is  Hearing  and  Knowing.
Sahih International
That  [is  so],  and  [also]  that Allah will  weaken  the  plot  of  the  disbelievers.
Sahih International
If  you  [disbelievers]  seek  the  victory  -   the  defeat  has  come  to  you.  And  if  you  desist [from  hostilities],  it  is  best  for  you;  but  if  you  return  [to  war],  We  will  return,  and  never will  you  be  availed  by  your  [large]  company  at  all,  even  if  it  should  increase;  and  [that is]  because Allah is  with  the  believers.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  obey Allah and  His  Messenger  and  do  not  turn  from  him while  you  hear  [his  order].
Sahih International
And  do  not  be  like  those  who  say,  "We  have  heard,"  while  they  do  not  hear.
Sahih International
Indeed,  the  worst  of  living  creatures  in  the  sight  of Allah are  the  deaf  and  dumb  who do  not  use  reason.
Sahih International
Had Allah known  any  good  in  them,  He  would  have  made  them  hear.  And  if  He  had made  them  hear,  they  would  [still]  have  turned  away,  while  they  were  refusing.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  respond  to Allah and  to  the  Messenger  when  he  calls  you  to that  which  gives  you  life.  And  know  that Allah intervenes  between  a  man  and  his  heart and  that  to  Him  you  will  be  gathered.
Sahih International
And  fear  a  trial  which  will  not  strike  those  who  have  wronged  among  you  exclusively, and  know  that Allah is  severe  in  penalty.
Sahih International
And  remember  when  you  were  few  and  oppressed  in  the  land,  fearing  that  people might  abduct  you,  but  He  sheltered  you,  supported  you  with  His  victory,  and  provided you  with  good  things  -   that  you  might  be  grateful.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  do  not  betray Allah and  the  Messenger  or  betray  your  trusts while  you  know  [the  consequence].
Sahih International
And  know  that  your  properties  and  your  children  are  but  a  trial  and  that Allah has with  Him  a  great  reward.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  if  you  fear Allah ,  He  will  grant  you  a  criterion  and  will remove  from  you  your  misdeeds  and  forgive  you.  And Allah is  the  possessor  of  great bounty.
Sahih International
And  [remember,  O  Muhammad],  when  those  who  disbelieved  plotted  against  you  to restrain  you  or  kill  you  or  evict  you  [from  Makkah].  But  they  plan,  and Allah plans. And Allah is  the  best  of  planners.
Sahih International
And  when  Our  verses  are  recited  to  them,  they  say,  "We  have  heard.    If  we  willed,  we could  say  [something]  like  this.  This  is  not  but  legends  of  the  former  peoples."
Sahih International
And  [remember]  when  they  said,  "O Allah ,  if  this  should  be  the  truth  from  You,  then rain  down  upon  us  stones  from  the  sky  or  bring  us  a  painful  punishment."
Sahih International
But Allah would  not  punish  them  while  you,  [O  Muhammad],  are  among  them,  and Allah would  not  punish  them  while  they  seek  forgiveness.
Sahih International
But  why  should Allah not  punish  them  while  they  obstruct  [people]  from  al-Masjid  al- Haram  and  they  were  not  [fit  to  be]  its  guardians?  Its  [true]  guardians  are  not  but  the righteous,  but  most  of  them  do  not  know.
Sahih International
And  their  prayer  at  the  House  was  not  except  whistling  and  handclapping.    So  taste the  punishment  for  what  you  disbelieved.
Sahih International
Indeed,  those  who  disbelieve  spend  their  wealth  to  avert  [people]  from  the  way  of Allah . So  they  will  spend  it;  then  it  will  be  for  them  a  [source  of]  regret;  then  they  will  be overcome.  And  those  who  have  disbelieved  -   unto  Hell  they  will  be  gathered.
Sahih International
[This  is]  so  that Allah may  distinguish  the  wicked  from  the  good  and  place  the  wicked some  of  them  upon  others  and  heap  them  all  together  and  put  them  into  Hell.  It  is those  who  are  the  losers.
Sahih International
Say  to  those  who  have  disbelieved  [that]  if  they  cease,  what  has  previously  occurred will  be  forgiven  for  them.  But  if  they  return  [to  hostility]  -   then  the  precedent  of  the former  [rebellious]  peoples  has  already  taken  place.
Sahih International
And  fight  them  until  there  is  no  fitnah  and  [until]  the  religion,  all  of  it,  is  for Allah .  And if  they  cease  -   then  indeed, Allah is  Seeing  of  what  they  do.
Sahih International
But  if  they  turn  away  -   then  know  that Allah is  your  protector.  Excellent  is  the protector,  and  Excellent  is  the  helper.
Sahih International
And  know  that  anything  you  obtain  of  war  booty  -   then  indeed,  for Allah is  one  fifth  of it  and  for  the  Messenger  and  for  [his]  near  relatives  and  the  orphans,  the  needy,  and the  [stranded]  traveler,  if  you  have  believed  in Allah and  in  that  which  We  sent  down to  Our  Servant  on  the  day  of  criterion    -   the  day  when  the  two  armies  met.  And Allah , over  all  things,  is  competent.
Sahih International
[Remember]  when  you  were  on  the  near  side  of  the  valley,  and  they  were  on  the  farther side,  and  the  caravan  was  lower  [in  position]  than  you.  If  you  had  made  an appointment  [to  meet],  you  would  have  missed  the  appointment.    But  [it  was]  so  that Allah might  accomplish  a  matter  already  destined  -   that  those  who  perished  [through disbelief]  would  perish  upon  evidence  and  those  who  lived  [in  faith]  would  live  upon evidence;  and  indeed, Allah is  Hearing  and  Knowing.
Sahih International
[Remember,  O  Muhammad],  when Allah showed  them  to  you  in  your  dream  as  few; and  if  He  had  shown  them  to  you  as  many,  you  [believers]  would  have  lost  courage and  would  have  disputed  in  the  matter  [of  whether  to  fight],  but Allah saved  [you  from that].  Indeed,  He  is  Knowing  of  that  within  the  breasts.
Sahih International
And  [remember]  when  He  showed  them  to  you,  when  you  met,  as  few  in  your  eyes,  and He  made  you  [appear]  as  few  in  their  eyes  so  that Allah might  accomplish  a  matter already  destined.    And  to Allah are  [all]  matters  returned.
Sahih International
O  you  who  have  believed,  when  you  encounter  a  company  [from  the  enemy  forces], stand  firm  and  remember Allah much  that  you  may  be  successful.
Sahih International
And  obey Allah and  His  Messenger,  and  do  not  dispute  and  [thus]  lose  courage  and [then]  your  strength  would  depart;  and  be  patient.    Indeed, Allah is  with  the  patient.
Sahih International
And  do  not  be  like  those  who  came  forth  from  their  homes  insolently  and  to  be  seen  by people  and  avert  [them]  from  the  way  of Allah .  And Allah is  encompassing  of  what  they do.
Sahih International
And  [remember]  when  Satan  made  their  deeds  pleasing  to  them  and  said,  "No  one  can overcome  you  today  from  among  the  people,  and  indeed,  I  am  your  protector."  But when  the  two  armies  sighted  each  other,  he  turned  on  his  heels  and  said,  "Indeed,  I am  disassociated  from  you.    Indeed,  I  see  what  you  do  not  see;  indeed  I  fear Allah . And Allah is  severe  in  penalty."
Sahih International
[Remember]  when  the  hypocrites  and  those  in  whose  hearts  was  disease  said,  "Their religion  has  deluded  those  [Muslims]."  But  whoever  relies  upon Allah -   then  indeed, Allah is  Exalted  in  Might  and  Wise.
Sahih International
And  if  you  could  but  see  when  the  angels  take  the  souls  of  those  who  disbelieved... They  are  striking  their  faces  and  their  backs  and  [saying],  "Taste  the  punishment  of the  Burning  Fire.
Sahih International
That  is  for  what  your  hands  have  put  forth  [of  evil]  and  because Allah is  not  ever unjust  to  His  servants."
Sahih International
[Theirs  is]  like  the  custom  of  the  people  of  Pharaoh  and  of  those  before  them.    They disbelieved  in  the  signs  of Allah ,  so Allah seized  them  for  their  sins.    Indeed, Allah is Powerful  and  severe  in  penalty.
Sahih International
That  is  because Allah would  not  change  a  favor  which  He  had  bestowed  upon  a  people until  they  change  what  is  within  themselves.  And  indeed, Allah is  Hearing  and Knowing.
Sahih International
[Theirs  is]  like  the  custom  of  the  people  of  Pharaoh  and  of  those  before  them.    They denied  the  signs  of  their  Lord,  so  We  destroyed  them  for  their  sins,  and  We  drowned the  people  of  Pharaoh.  And  all  [of  them]  were  wrongdoers.
Sahih International
Indeed,  the  worst  of  living  creatures  in  the  sight  of Allah are  those  who  have disbelieved,  and  they  will  not  [ever]  believe  -
Sahih International
The  ones  with  whom  you  made  a  treaty  but  then  they  break  their  pledge  every  time, and  they  do  not  fear Allah .
