The Spoils of War75 Verses26 Hadithsmadinah

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

8:1
يَسۡــَٔلُونَكَ
They ask you
عَنِ
about
ٱلۡأَنفَالِ‌ۖ
the spoils of war
قُلِ
Say
ٱلۡأَنفَالُ
The spoils of war
لِلَّهِ
(are) for Allah
وَٱلرَّسُولِ‌ۖ
and the Messenger
فَٱتَّقُواۡ
So fear
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَأَصۡلِحُواۡ
and set right
ذَاتَ
that
بَيۡنِكُمۡ‌ۖ
(which is) between you
وَأَطِيعُواۡ
and obey
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَرَسُولَهُۥٓ
and His Messenger
إِن
if
كُنتُم
you are
مُّؤۡمِنِينَ
believers
١
They ask you, [O Muḥammad], about the bounties [of war]. Say, "The [decision concerning] bounties is for Allāh and the Messenger." So fear Allāh and amend that which is between you and obey Allāh and His Messenger, if you should be believers.
8:2
إِنَّمَا
Only
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
the believers
ٱلَّذِينَ
(are) those who
إِذَا
when
ذُكِرَ
is mentioned
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
وَجِلَتۡ
feel fear
قُلُوبُهُمۡ
their hearts
وَإِذَا
and when
تُلِيَتۡ
are recited
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ
His Verses
زَادَتۡهُمۡ
they increase them
إِيمَـٰنًا
(in) faith
وَعَلَىٰ
and upon
رَبِّهِمۡ
their Lord
يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
they put their trust
٢
The believers are only those who, when Allāh 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 -
8:3
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يُقِيمُونَ
establish
ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ
the prayer
وَمِمَّا
and out of what
رَزَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ
We have provided them
يُنفِقُونَ
they spend
٣
The ones who establish prayer, and from what We have provided them, they spend.
8:4
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
هُمُ
they are
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
the believers
حَقًّا‌ۚ
(in) truth
لَّهُمۡ
For them
دَرَجَـٰتٌ
(are) ranks
عِندَ
with
رَبِّهِمۡ
their Lord
وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ
and forgiveness
وَرِزۡقٌ
and a provision
كَرِيمٌ
noble
٤
Those are the believers, truly. For them are degrees [of high position] with their Lord and forgiveness and noble provision.
8:5
كَمَآ
As
أَخۡرَجَكَ
brought you out
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
مِنۢ
from
بَيۡتِكَ
your home
بِٱلۡحَقِّ
in truth
وَإِنَّ
while indeed
فَرِيقًا
a party
مِّنَ
among
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
لَكَـٰرِهُونَ
certainly disliked
٥
[It1 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,
8:6
يُجَـٰدِلُونَكَ
They dispute with you
فِى
concerning
ٱلۡحَقِّ
the truth
بَعۡدَ
after what
مَا
was made clear
تَبَيَّنَ
as if
كَأَنَّمَا
they were driven
يُسَاقُونَ
to
إِلَى
[the] death
ٱلۡمَوۡتِ
while they
وَهُمۡ
(were) looking
يَنظُرُونَ
Arguing with you concerning the truth after it had become clear, as if they were being driven toward death while they were looking on.
8:7
وَإِذۡ
And when
يَعِدُكُمُ
promised you
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
إِحۡدَى
one
ٱلطَّآئِفَتَيۡنِ
(of) the two groups
أَنَّهَا
that it (would be)
لَكُمۡ
for you
وَتَوَدُّونَ
and you wished
أَنَّ
that
غَيۡرَ
(one) other than
ذَاتِ
that
ٱلشَّوۡكَةِ
(of) the armed
تَكُونُ
would be
لَكُمۡ
for you
وَيُرِيدُ
But intended
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
أَن
to
يُحِقَّ
justify
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the truth
بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ
by His words
وَيَقۡطَعَ
and cut off
دَابِرَ
(the) roots
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
(of) the disbelievers
٧
[Remember, O believers], when Allāh promised you one of the two groups1 - that it would be yours - and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours. But Allāh intended to establish the truth by His words and to eliminate the disbelievers
8:8
لِيُحِقَّ
That He might justify
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the truth
وَيُبۡطِلَ
and prove false
ٱلۡبَـٰطِلَ
the falsehood
وَلَوۡ
even if
كَرِهَ
disliked (it)
ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ
the criminals
٨
That He should establish the truth and abolish falsehood, even if the criminals disliked it.
8:9
إِذۡ
When
تَسۡتَغِيثُونَ
you were seeking help
رَبَّكُمۡ
(of) your Lord
فَٱسۡتَجَابَ
and He answered
لَكُمۡ
[to] you
أَنِّى
Indeed, I am
مُمِدُّكُم
going to reinforce you
بِأَلۡفٍ
with a thousand
مِّنَ
of
ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
the Angels
مُرۡدِفِينَ
one after another
٩
[Remember] when you were asking help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another."
8:10
وَمَا
And not
جَعَلَهُ
(it was) made
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
إِلَّا
but
بُشۡرَىٰ
good tidings
وَلِتَطۡمَئِنَّ
and so that might be at rest
بِهِۦ
with it
قُلُوبُكُمۡ‌ۚ
your hearts
وَمَا
And (there is) no
ٱلنَّصۡرُ
[the] victory
إِلَّا
except
مِنۡ
from
عِندِ
[of]
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
Allah
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَزِيزٌ
(is) All-Mighty
حَكِيمٌ
All-Wise
١٠
And Allāh made it not but good tidings and so that your hearts would be assured thereby. And victory is not but from Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
8:11
إِذۡ
When
يُغَشِّيكُمُ
He covered you
ٱلنُّعَاسَ
with [the] slumber
أَمَنَةً
a security
مِّنۡهُ
from Him
وَيُنَزِّلُ
and sent down
عَلَيۡكُم
upon you
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
مَآءً
water
لِّيُطَهِّرَكُم
so that He may purify you
بِهِۦ
with it
وَيُذۡهِبَ
and take away
عَنكُمۡ
from you
رِجۡزَ
evil (suggestions)
ٱلشَّيۡطَـٰنِ
(of) the Shaitaan
وَلِيَرۡبِطَ
And to strengthen
عَلَىٰ
[on]
قُلُوبِكُمۡ
your hearts
وَيُثَبِّتَ
and make firm
بِهِ
with it
ٱلۡأَقۡدَامَ
your feet
١١
[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.
8:12
إِذۡ
When
يُوحِى
inspired
رَبُّكَ
your Lord
إِلَى
to
ٱلۡمَلَـٰٓئِكَةِ
the Angels
أَنِّى
I am
مَعَكُمۡ
with you
فَثَبِّتُواۡ
so strengthen
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ‌ۚ
believed
سَأُلۡقِى
I will cast
فِى
in
قُلُوبِ
(the) hearts
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
ٱلرُّعۡبَ
the terror
فَٱضۡرِبُواۡ
so strike
فَوۡقَ
above
ٱلۡأَعۡنَاقِ
the necks
وَٱضۡرِبُواۡ
and strike
مِنۡهُمۡ
from them
كُلَّ
every
بَنَانٍ
fingertip[s]
١٢
[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."1
8:13
ذٰلِكَ
That
بِأَنَّهُمۡ
(is) because they
شَآقُّواۡ
opposed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَرَسُولَهُۥ‌ۚ
and His Messenger
وَمَن
And whoever
يُشَاقِقِ
opposes
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَرَسُولَهُۥ
and His Messenger
فَإِنَّ
then indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
شَدِيدُ
(is) severe
ٱلۡعِقَابِ
in [the] penalty
١٣
That is because they opposed Allāh and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allāh and His Messenger - indeed, Allāh is severe in penalty.
8:14
ذٰلِكُمۡ
That
فَذُوقُوهُ
So taste it
وَأَنَّ
And that
لِلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
for the disbelievers
عَذَابَ
(is the) punishment
ٱلنَّارِ
(of) the Fire
١٤
"That [is yours], so taste it." And indeed for the disbelievers is the punishment of the Fire.
8:15
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُوٓاۡ
believe
إِذَا
When
لَقِيتُمُ
you meet
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
زَحۡفًا
advancing
فَلَا
then (do) not
تُوَلُّوهُمُ
turn to them
ٱلۡأَدۡبَارَ
the backs
١٥
O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [in battle], do not turn to them your backs [in flight].
8:16
وَمَن
And whoever
يُوَلِّهِمۡ
turns to them
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
that day
دُبُرَهُۥٓ
his back
إِلَّا
except
مُتَحَرِّفًا
(as) a strategy
لِّقِتَالٍ
of war
أَوۡ
or
مُتَحَيِّزًا
(to) join
إِلَىٰ
to
فِئَةٍ
a group
فَقَدۡ
certainly
بَآءَ
(he has) incurred
بِغَضَبٍ
wrath
مِّنَ
of
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
وَمَأۡوَٮٰهُ
and his abode
جَهَنَّمُ‌ۖ
(is) Hell
وَبِئۡسَ
a wretched
ٱلۡمَصِيرُ
destination
١٦
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 Allāh, and his refuge is Hell - and wretched is the destination.
8:17
فَلَمۡ
And not
تَقۡتُلُوهُمۡ
you kill them
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
قَتَلَهُمۡ‌ۚ
killed them
وَمَا
And not
رَمَيۡتَ
you threw
إِذۡ
when
رَمَيۡتَ
you threw
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
رَمَىٰ‌ۚ
threw
وَلِيُبۡلِىَ
and that He may test
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
مِنۡهُ
from Him
بَلَآءً
(with) a trial
حَسَنًا‌ۚ
good
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
سَمِيعٌ
(is) All-Hearing
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knowing
١٧
And you did not kill them, but it was Allāh who killed them.1 And you threw not, [O Muḥammad], when you threw, but it was Allāh who threw2 that He might test the believers with a good test.3 Indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
8:18
ذٰلِكُمۡ
That (is the case)
وَأَنَّ
and that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah (is)
مُوهِنُ
one who makes weak
كَيۡدِ
(the) plan
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
(of) the disbelievers
١٨
That [is so], and [also] that Allāh will weaken the plot of the disbelievers.
8:19
إِن
If
تَسۡتَفۡتِحُواۡ
you ask for victory
فَقَدۡ
then certainly
جَآءَكُمُ
has come to you
ٱلۡفَتۡحُ‌ۖ
the victory
وَإِن
And if
تَنتَهُواۡ
you desist
فَهُوَ
then it (is)
خَيۡرٌ
good
لَّكُمۡ‌ۖ
for you
وَإِن
but if
تَعُودُواۡ
you return
نَعُدۡ
We will return (too)
وَلَن
And never
تُغۡنِىَ
will avail
عَنكُمۡ
you
فِئَتُكُمۡ
your forces
شَيۡــًٔا
anything
وَلَوۡ
even if
كَثُرَتۡ
(they are) numerous
وَأَنَّ
And that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مَعَ
(is) with
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
the believers
١٩
If you [disbelievers] seek the decision [i.e., victory] - the decision [i.e., 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 Allāh is with the believers.
8:20
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُوٓاۡ
believe
أَطِيعُواۡ
Obey
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَرَسُولَهُۥ
and His Messenger
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَوَلَّوۡاۡ
turn away
عَنۡهُ
from him
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تَسۡمَعُونَ
hear
٢٠
O you who have believed, obey Allāh and His Messenger and do not turn from him while you hear [his order].
8:21
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَكُونُواۡ
be
كَٱلَّذِينَ
like those who
قَالُواۡ
say
سَمِعۡنَا
We heard
وَهُمۡ
while they
لَا
(do) not
يَسۡمَعُونَ
hear
٢١
And do not be like those who say, "We have heard," while they do not hear.
8:22
۞إِنَّ
Indeed
شَرَّ
worst
ٱلدَّوَآبِّ
(of) the living creatures
عِندَ
near
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
ٱلصُّمُّ
(are) the deaf
ٱلۡبُكۡمُ
the dumb
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡقِلُونَ
use (their) intellect
٢٢
Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allāh are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason [i.e., the disbelievers].
8:23
وَلَوۡ
And if
عَلِمَ
(had) known
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
فِيهِمۡ
in them
خَيۡرًا
any good
لَّأَسۡمَعَهُمۡ‌ۖ
surely, He (would) have made them hear
وَلَوۡ
And if
أَسۡمَعَهُمۡ
He had made them hear
لَتَوَلَّواۡ
surely they would have turned away
وَّهُم
while they
مُّعۡرِضُونَ
(were) averse
٢٣
Had Allāh 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.
8:24
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
ٱسۡتَجِيبُواۡ
Respond
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
وَلِلرَّسُولِ
and His Messenger
إِذَا
when
دَعَاكُمۡ
he calls you
لِمَا
to what
يُحۡيِيكُمۡ‌ۖ
gives you life
وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
And know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يَحُولُ
comes
بَيۡنَ
(in) between
ٱلۡمَرۡءِ
a man
وَقَلۡبِهِۦ
and his heart
وَأَنَّهُۥٓ
and that
إِلَيۡهِ
to Him
تُحۡشَرُونَ
you will be gathered
٢٤
O you who have believed, respond to Allāh and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allāh intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.
8:25
وَٱتَّقُواۡ
And fear
فِتۡنَةً
a trial
لَّا
not
تُصِيبَنَّ
which will afflict
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ظَلَمُواۡ
do wrong
مِنكُمۡ
among you
خَآصَّةً‌ۖ
exclusively
وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
And know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
شَدِيدُ
(is) severe
ٱلۡعِقَابِ
(in) the penalty
٢٥
And fear a trial1 which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allāh is severe in penalty.
8:26
وَٱذۡكُرُوٓاۡ
And remember
إِذۡ
when
أَنتُمۡ
you
قَلِيلٌ
(were) few
مُّسۡتَضۡعَفُونَ
(and) deemed weak
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
تَخَافُونَ
fearing
أَن
that
يَتَخَطَّفَكُمُ
might do away with you
ٱلنَّاسُ
the men
فَـَٔـاوَٮٰكُمۡ
then He sheltered you
وَأَيَّدَكُم
and strengthened you
بِنَصۡرِهِۦ
with His help
وَرَزَقَكُم
and provided you
مِّنَ
of
ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ
the good things
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَشۡكُرُونَ
(be) thankful
٢٦
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.
8:27
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
لَا
(Do) not
تَخُونُواۡ
betray
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَٱلرَّسُولَ
and the Messenger
وَتَخُونُوٓاۡ
or betray
أَمَـٰنَـٰتِكُمۡ
your trusts
وَأَنتُمۡ
while you
تَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٢٧
O you who have believed, do not betray Allāh and the Messenger or betray your trusts while you know [the consequence].
8:28
وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
And know
أَنَّمَآ
that
أَمۡوٰلُكُمۡ
your wealth
وَأَوۡلَـٰدُكُمۡ
and your children
فِتۡنَةٌ
(are) a trial
وَأَنَّ
And that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عِندَهُۥٓ
with Him
أَجۡرٌ
(is) a reward
عَظِيمٌ
great
٢٨
And know that your properties and your children are but a trial and that Allāh has with Him a great reward.
8:29
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُوٓاۡ
believe
إِن
If
تَتَّقُواۡ
you fear
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يَجۡعَل
He will grant
لَّكُمۡ
you
فُرۡقَانًا
a criterion
وَيُكَفِّرۡ
and will remove
عَنكُمۡ
from you
سَيِّـَٔـاتِكُمۡ
your evil deeds
وَيَغۡفِرۡ
and forgive
لَكُمۡ‌ۗ
you
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
ذُو
(is) the Possessor
ٱلۡفَضۡلِ
(of) Bounty
ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
the Great
٢٩
O you who have believed, if you fear Allāh, He will grant you a criterion1 and will remove from you your misdeeds and forgive you. And Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.
8:30
وَإِذۡ
And when
يَمۡكُرُ
plotted
بِكَ
against you
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieved
لِيُثۡبِتُوكَ
that they restrain you
أَوۡ
or
يَقۡتُلُوكَ
kill you
أَوۡ
or
يُخۡرِجُوكَ‌ۚ
drive you out
وَيَمۡكُرُونَ
And they were planning
وَيَمۡكُرُ
and (also) was planning
ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ
Allah
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
خَيۡرُ
is (the) Best
ٱلۡمَـٰكِرِينَ
(of) the Planners
٣٠
And [remember, O Muḥammad], when those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill you or evict you [from Makkah]. But they plan, and Allāh plans. And Allāh is the best of planners.
8:31
وَإِذَا
And when
تُتۡلَىٰ
are recited
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
to them
ءَايَـٰتُنَا
Our Verses
قَالُواۡ
they say
قَدۡ
Verily
سَمِعۡنَا
we have heard
لَوۡ
if
نَشَآءُ
we wish
لَقُلۡنَا
surely, we could say
مِثۡلَ
like
هَـٰذَآ‌ۙ
this
إِنۡ
Not
هَـٰذَآ
is this
إِلَّآ
but
أَسَـٰطِيرُ
tales
ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
(of) the former (people)
٣١
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."
8:32
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَالُواۡ
they said
ٱللَّهُمَّ
O Allah
إِن
If
كَانَ
was
هَـٰذَا
this
هُوَ
[it]
ٱلۡحَقَّ
the truth
مِنۡ
[of]
عِندِكَ
from You
فَأَمۡطِرۡ
then (send) rain
عَلَيۡنَا
upon us
حِجَارَةً
(of) stones
مِّنَ
from
ٱلسَّمَآءِ
the sky
أَوِ
or
ٱئۡتِنَا
bring (upon) us
بِعَذَابٍ
a punishment
أَلِيمٍ
painful
٣٢
And [remember] when they said, "O Allāh, if this should be the truth from You, then rain down upon us stones from the sky or bring us a painful punishment."
8:33
وَمَا
But not
كَانَ
is
ٱللَّهُ
(for) Allah
لِيُعَذِّبَهُمۡ
that He punishes them
وَأَنتَ
while you
فِيهِمۡ‌ۚ
(are) among them
وَمَا
and not
كَانَ
is
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مُعَذِّبَهُمۡ
the One Who punishes them
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَسۡتَغۡفِرُونَ
seek forgiveness
٣٣
But Allāh would not punish them while you, [O Muḥammad], are among them, and Allāh would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.
8:34
وَمَا
But what
لَهُمۡ
(is) for them
أَلَّا
that not
يُعَذِّبَهُمُ
(should) punish them
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
وَهُمۡ
while they
يَصُدُّونَ
hinder (people)
عَنِ
from
ٱلۡمَسۡجِدِ
Al-Masjid
ٱلۡحَرَامِ
Al-Haraam
وَمَا
while not
كَانُوٓاۡ
they are
أَوۡلِيَآءَهُۥٓ‌ۚ
its guardians
إِنۡ
Not (can be)
أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُۥٓ
its guardians
إِلَّا
except
ٱلۡمُتَّقُونَ
the ones who fear Allah
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
أَكۡثَرَهُمۡ
most of them
لَا
(do) not
يَعۡلَمُونَ
know
٣٤
But why should Allāh not punish them while they obstruct [people] from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and they were not [fit to be] its guardians? Its [true] guardians are not but the righteous, but most of them do not know.
8:35
وَمَا
And not
كَانَ
was
صَلَاتُهُمۡ
their prayer
عِندَ
at
ٱلۡبَيۡتِ
the House
إِلَّا
except
مُكَآءً
whistling
وَتَصۡدِيَةً‌ۚ
and clapping
فَذُوقُواۡ
So taste
ٱلۡعَذَابَ
the punishment
بِمَا
because
كُنتُمۡ
you used to
تَكۡفُرُونَ
disbelieve
٣٥
And their prayer at the House [i.e., the Kaʿbah] was not except whistling and handclapping. So taste the punishment for what you disbelieved [i.e., practiced of deviations].
8:36
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
يُنفِقُونَ
they spend
أَمۡوٰلَهُمۡ
their wealth
لِيَصُدُّواۡ
to hinder (people)
عَن
from
سَبِيلِ
(the) way
ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
(of) Allah
فَسَيُنفِقُونَهَا
So they will spend it
ثُمَّ
then
تَكُونُ
it will be
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
for them
حَسۡرَةً
a regret
ثُمَّ
then
يُغۡلَبُونَ‌ۗ
they will be overcome
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
كَفَرُوٓاۡ
disbelieve
إِلَىٰ
to
جَهَنَّمَ
Hell
يُحۡشَرُونَ
they will be gathered
٣٦
Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allāh. 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.
8:37
لِيَمِيزَ
That may distinguish
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلۡخَبِيثَ
the wicked
مِنَ
from
ٱلطَّيِّبِ
the good
وَيَجۡعَلَ
and place
ٱلۡخَبِيثَ
the wicked
بَعۡضَهُۥ
some of them
عَلَىٰ
on
بَعۡضٍ
others
فَيَرۡكُمَهُۥ
and heap them
جَمِيعًا
all together
فَيَجۡعَلَهُۥ
and put them
فِى
in
جَهَنَّمَ‌ۚ
Hell
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
هُمُ
they
ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ
(are) the losers
٣٧
[It is] so that Allāh 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.
8:38
قُل
Say
لِّلَّذِينَ
to those who
كَفَرُوٓاۡ
disbelieve
إِن
if
يَنتَهُواۡ
they cease
يُغۡفَرۡ
will be forgiven
لَهُم
for them
مَّا
what
قَدۡ

سَلَفَ

they return
فَقَدۡ
then verily
مَضَتۡ
preceded
سُنَّتُ
(the) practice
ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
(of) the former (people)
٣٨
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.1
8:39
وَقَـٰتِلُوهُمۡ
And fight them
حَتَّىٰ
until
لَا
not
تَكُونَ
there is
فِتۡنَةٌ
oppression
وَيَكُونَ
and is
ٱلدِّينُ
the religion
كُلُّهُۥ
all of it
لِلَّهِ‌ۚ
for Allah
فَإِنِ
But if
ٱنتَهَوۡاۡ
they cease
فَإِنَّ
then indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
بِمَا
of what
يَعۡمَلُونَ
they do
بَصِيرٌ
(is) All-Seer
٣٩
And fight against them until there is no fitnah1 and [until] the religion [i.e., worship], all of it, is for Allāh.2 And if they cease - then indeed, Allāh is Seeing of what they do.
8:40
وَإِن
And if
تَوَلَّوۡاۡ
they turn away
فَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
then know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مَوۡلَـٰكُمۡ‌ۚ
(is) your Protector
نِعۡمَ
Excellent
ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ
(is) the Protector
وَنِعۡمَ
and Excellent
ٱلنَّصِيرُ
(is) the Helper
٤٠
But if they turn away - then know that Allāh is your protector. Excellent is the protector, and excellent is the helper.
8:41
۞وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
And know
أَنَّمَا
that what

anything

then that
لِلَّهِ
for Allah
خُمُسَهُۥ
(is) one fifth of it

and for the Messenger
وَلِذِى
and for the
ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ
near relatives
وَٱلۡيَتَـٰمَىٰ
and the orphans
وَٱلۡمَسَـٰكِينِ
and the needy
وَٱبۡنِ
and the
ٱلسَّبِيلِ

إِن
if
كُنتُمۡ
you

بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah

أَنزَلۡنَا
We sent down

the two forces
وَٱللَّهُ

عَلَىٰ
(is) on

All-Powerful
٤١
And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allāh is one fifth of it and for the Messenger1 and for [his] near relatives2 and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveler,3 if you have believed in Allāh and in that which We sent down to Our Servant4 on the day of criterion [i.e., decisive encounter] - the day when the two armies met [at Badr]. And Allāh, over all things, is competent.
8:42
إِذۡ
When
أَنتُم
you (were)
بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ
on side of the valley
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
the nearer
وَهُم
and they
بِٱلۡعُدۡوَةِ
(were) on the side
ٱلۡقُصۡوَىٰ
the farther
وَٱلرَّكۡبُ
and the caravan
أَسۡفَلَ
(was) lower
مِنكُمۡ‌ۚ
than you
وَلَوۡ
And if
تَوَاعَدتُّمۡ
you (had) made an appointment
لَٱخۡتَلَفۡتُمۡ
certainly you would have failed
فِى
in
ٱلۡمِيعَـٰدِ‌ۙ
the appointment
وَلَـٰكِن
But
لِّيَقۡضِىَ
that might accomplish
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
أَمۡرًا
a matter
كَانَ
(that) was
مَفۡعُولاً
destined
لِّيَهۡلِكَ
that (might be) destroyed
مَنۡ
(those) who
هَلَكَ
(were to be) destroyed

a clear evidence
وَإِنَّ
And indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
لَسَمِيعٌ
(is) All-Hearing
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knowing
٤٢
[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 Allāh 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, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
8:43
إِذۡ
When
يُرِيكَهُمُ
you (where) shown them
ٱللَّهُ

فِى
in
مَنَامِكَ
your dream

وَلَوۡ
and if
أَرَٮٰكَهُمۡ
He had shown them to you
كَثِيرًا

لَّفَشِلۡتُمۡ
surely you would have lost courage
وَلَتَنَـٰزَعۡتُمۡ
and surely you would have disputed
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَمۡرِ
the matter
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
but
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
سَلَّمَ‌ۗ
saved (you)
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
عَلِيمُۢ
(is) All-Knower
بِذَاتِ
of what is in
ٱلصُّدُورِ

٤٣
[Remember, O Muḥammad], when Allāh 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 Allāh saved [you from that]. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.
8:44
وَإِذۡ
And when
يُرِيكُمُوهُمۡ
He showed them to you
إِذِ
when
ٱلۡتَقَيۡتُمۡ
you met
فِىٓ
in

your eyes
قَلِيلاً
(as) few

and He made you (appear) as few
فِىٓ

Allah might accomplish
أَمۡرًا

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 Allāh might accomplish a matter already destined. And to Allāh are [all] matters returned.
8:45
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you

٤٥
O you who have believed, when you encounter a company [from the enemy forces], stand firm and remember Allāh much that you may be successful.
8:46
وَأَطِيعُواۡ
And obey
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مَعَ

ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
the patient ones
٤٦
And obey Allāh and His Messenger, and do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allāh is with the patient.
8:47
وَلَا
And (do) not
تَكُونُواۡ
be
كَٱلَّذِينَ
like those who
خَرَجُواۡ
came forth
مِن
from
دِيَـٰرِهِم
their homes
بَطَرًا
boastfully
وَرِئَآءَ
and showing off
ٱلنَّاسِ

وَيَصُدُّونَ
and hinder (them)

ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ
(of) Allah
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
بِمَا
of what
يَعۡمَلُونَ
they do
مُحِيطٌ

٤٧
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 Allāh. And Allāh is encompassing1 of what they do.
8:48
وَإِذۡ
And when
زَيَّنَ

Allah

And Allah
شَدِيدُ

ٱلۡعِقَابِ
(in) the penalty
٤٨
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 Allāh. And Allāh is severe in penalty."
8:49
إِذۡ
When

All-Wise
٤٩
[Remember] when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was disease [i.e., arrogance and disbelief] said, "Their religion has deluded those [Muslims]." But whoever relies upon Allāh - then indeed, Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
8:50
وَلَوۡ

Taste

(the) punishment

(of) the Blazing Fire
٥٠
And if you could but see when the angels take the souls of those who disbelieved...1 They are striking their faces and their backs and [saying], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.
8:51
ذٰلِكَ

That is for what your hands have put forth [of evil] and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."
8:52
كَدَأۡبِ

(of) Allah
فَأَخَذَهُمُ
so seized them
ٱللَّهُ

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
قَوِىٌّ

شَدِيدُ
(and) severe
ٱلۡعِقَابِ
(in) the penalty
٥٢
[Theirs is] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them. They disbelieved in the signs of Allāh, so Allāh seized them for their sins. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and severe in penalty.
8:53
ذٰلِكَ
That
بِأَنَّ
(is) because
ٱللَّهَ

One Who changes

وَأَنَّ
And indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

That is because Allāh would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
8:54
كَدَأۡبِ

(of) Firaun

٥٤
[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.
8:55

Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allāh are those who have disbelieved, and they will not [ever] believe-
8:56
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
عَـٰهَدتَّ
you made a covenant

The ones with whom you made a treaty but then they break their pledge every time, and they do not fear Allāh.
8:57

So if

٥٧
So if you, [O Muḥammad], gain dominance over them in war, disperse by [means of] them those behind them that perhaps they will be reminded.1
8:58
وَإِمَّا
And if
تَخَافَنَّ

If you [have reason to] fear from a people betrayal, throw [their treaty] back to them, [putting you] on equal terms.1 Indeed, Allāh does not like traitors.
8:59
وَلَا
And (let) not

Indeed, they

And let not those who disbelieve think they will escape. Indeed, they will not cause failure [to Allāh].

And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war1 by which you may terrify the enemy of Allāh and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allāh knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allāh will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.
8:61
۞وَإِن
And if
جَنَحُواۡ
they incline
لِلسَّلۡمِ
to peace
فَٱجۡنَحۡ
then you (also) incline

Allah

Indeed

He

And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allāh. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing.
8:62
وَإِن
But if
يُرِيدُوٓاۡ
they intend

then indeed
حَسۡبَكَ
is sufficient for you
ٱللَّهُ‌ۚ
Allah

He

٦٢
But if they intend to deceive you - then sufficient for you is Allāh. It is He who supported you with His help and with the believers
8:63
وَأَلَّفَ
And He (has) put affection

ٱللَّهَ
Allah
أَلَّفَ

between them
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed, He
عَزِيزٌ

٦٣
And brought together their hearts. If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allāh brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise.

twenty
صَـٰبِرُونَ
steadfast

they will overcome

And if

they will overcome

a thousand

those who

disbelieve
بِأَنَّهُمۡ
because they
قَوۡمٌ

understand
٦٥
O Prophet, urge the believers to battle. If there are among you twenty [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you one hundred [who are steadfast], they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand.
8:66
ٱلۡـَٔـٰنَ
Now

has (been) lightened
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah

for you

and He knows
أَنَّ
that
فِيكُمۡ
in you

So if

ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ
(of) Allah
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah

Now, Allāh has lightened [the hardship] for you, and He knows that among you is weakness. So if there are from you one hundred [who are] steadfast, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are among you a thousand, they will overcome two thousand by permission of Allāh. And Allāh is with the steadfast.
8:67
مَا
Not
كَانَ
is
لِنَبِىٍّ
for a Prophet
أَن
that
يَكُونَ
(there) should be
لَهُۥٓ
for him
أَسۡرَىٰ
prisoners of war
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُثۡخِنَ
he has battled strenuously
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ
the land
تُرِيدُونَ
You desire
عَرَضَ
(the) commodities
ٱلدُّنۡيَا
(of) the world
وَٱللَّهُ
but Allah
يُرِيدُ
desires
ٱلۡأَخِرَةَ‌ۗ
(for you) the Hereafter
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
عَزِيزٌ
(is) All-Mighty
حَكِيمٌ
All-Wise
٦٧
It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allāh's enemies] in the land. You [i.e., some Muslims] desire the commodities of this world,1 but Allāh desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
8:68
لَّوۡلَا
Had not
كِتَـٰبٌ
an ordainment
مِّنَ
from
ٱللَّهِ
Allah
سَبَقَ
preceded
لَمَسَّكُمۡ
surely (would) have touched you
فِيمَآ
for what
أَخَذۡتُمۡ
you took
عَذَابٌ
a punishment
عَظِيمٌ
great
٦٨
If not for a decree from Allāh that preceded,1 you would have been touched for what you took by a great punishment.
8:69
فَكُلُواۡ
So eat
مِمَّا
from what
غَنِمۡتُمۡ
you got as war booty
حَلَـٰلاً
lawful
طَيِّبًا‌ۚ
(and) good
وَٱتَّقُواۡ

ٱللَّهَ‌ۚ
Allah
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
غَفُورٌ
(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful
٦٩
So consume what you have taken of war booty [as being] lawful and good, and fear Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
8:70
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O

Prophet
قُل
Say
لِّمَن
to whoever
فِىٓ
(is) in
أَيۡدِيكُم
your hands

of
ٱلۡأَسۡرَىٰٓ
the captives

If

knows
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
فِى
in
قُلُوبِكُمۡ
your hearts
خَيۡرًا
any good
يُؤۡتِكُمۡ
He will give you
خَيۡرًا
better
مِّمَّآ
than what
أُخِذَ
was taken
مِنكُمۡ
from you
وَيَغۡفِرۡ
and He will forgive
لَكُمۡ‌ۗ
you
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
غَفُورٌ
(is) Oft-Forgiving
رَّحِيمٌ
Most Merciful
٧٠
O Prophet, say to whoever is in your hands of the captives, "If Allāh knows [any] good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."
8:71
وَإِن
But if
يُرِيدُواۡ
they intend
خِيَانَتَكَ
(to) betray you
فَقَدۡ
certainly
خَانُواۡ
they have betrayed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
مِن
from
قَبۡلُ
before
فَأَمۡكَنَ
So He gave (you) power
مِنۡهُمۡ‌ۗ
over them
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
عَلِيمٌ
(is) All-Knower
حَكِيمٌ
All-Wise
٧١
But if they intend to betray you - then they have already betrayed Allāh before, and He empowered [you] over them. And Allāh is Knowing and Wise.
8:72
إِنَّ
Indeed
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
وَهَاجَرُواۡ
and emigrated
وَجَـٰهَدُواۡ
and strove hard
بِأَمۡوٰلِهِمۡ
with their wealth

those

But those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed
وَلَمۡ
and (did) not
يُهَاجِرُواۡ
emigrate
مَا
(it is) not
لَكُم
for you

their protection
مِّن

شَىۡءٍ
(in) anything

they emigrate
وَإِنِ
And if
ٱسۡتَنصَرُوكُمۡ
they seek your help
فِى
in
ٱلدِّينِ
the religion
فَعَلَيۡكُمُ
then upon you
ٱلنَّصۡرُ
(is to) help them
إِلَّا
except

against
قَوۡمِۭ
a people
بَيۡنَكُمۡ
between you
وَبَيۡنَهُم
and between them
مِّيثَـٰقٌ‌ۗ
(is) a treaty
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
بِمَا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
بَصِيرٌ
(is) All-Seer
٧٢
Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allāh and those who gave shelter and aided - they are allies of one another. But those who believed and did not emigrate - for you there is no support of them until they emigrate. And if they seek help of you for the religion, then you must help, except against a people between yourselves and whom is a treaty. And Allāh is Seeing of what you do.
8:73
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
كَفَرُواۡ
disbelieve
بَعۡضُهُمۡ
some of them
أَوۡلِيَآءُ
(are) allies
بَعۡضٍ‌ۚ
(to) another
إِلَّا
If not

you do it
تَكُن
(there) will be
فِتۡنَةٌ
oppression
فِى
in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
the earth
وَفَسَادٌ
and corruption
كَبِيرٌ
great
٧٣
And those who disbelieved are allies of one another. If you do not do so [i.e., ally yourselves with other believers], there will be fitnah [i.e., disbelief and oppression] on earth and great corruption.
8:74
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed

وَجَـٰهَدُواۡ

(the) way

those
هُمُ
they (are)
ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ
the believers
حَقًّا‌ۚ
(in) truth
لَّهُم
For them
مَّغۡفِرَةٌ
(is) forgiveness
وَرِزۡقٌ
and a provision
كَرِيمٌ
noble
٧٤
But those who have believed and emigrated and fought in the cause of Allāh and those who gave shelter and aided - it is they who are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.
8:75
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believed

بَعۡدُ
afterwards
وَهَاجَرُواۡ

فَأُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
then those
مِنكُمۡ‌ۚ
(are) of you
وَأُوۡلُواۡ
But those
ٱلۡأَرۡحَامِ
(of) blood relationship
بَعۡضُهُمۡ
some of them

Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

And those who believed after [the initial emigration] and emigrated and fought with you - they are of you. But those of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allāh.1 Indeed, Allāh is Knowing of all things.
