بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
8:1 "They ask you about the spoils of war. Say: "The spoils belong to Allah and His messenger."Listen to Allah and make up your differences. Follow Allah and His messenger if you believe."
8:2 Those who believe are such that their hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and their faith increases when His verses are recited to them, and they trust in their Lord.
8:3 Those who observe the prayer and give out of what We have provided for them as charity.
8:4 Such are the true believers. For them are degrees with their Lord and forgiveness and an inexhaustible provision.
8:5 Indeed, your Lord took you out of your home for the fulfillment of a certain plan. A group of the believers disliked it.
8:6 They were disputing with you about it as if they were being driven to death while the truth was revealed.
8:7 Allah had promised you to defeat one of the two groups, but you wanted to meet the weaker of the two. But Allah wishes to realize the truth by His words and to cut off the pursuit of the disbelievers.
8:8 That He may realize the truth and remove injustice, even though the guilty dislike it.
8:9 "You were pleading with your Lord to save you, and He answered you, "I will support you with a thousand angels, one after the other"."
8:10 Allah did this only as good news and to soothe your hearts. Victory is from Allah alone. Allah is Superior, Wise.
8:11 He was lulling you to sleep as a security from Himself, and He was sending down upon you water from the sky to cleanse you (from the depression of thirst), to drive away from you the filth of Satan (despair), to convince your hearts and to strengthen your feet.
8:12 "Your Lord revealed to the angels (and therefore to the believers): "I am with you, support those who believe. I will strike fear into the hearts of the disbelievers, strike their necks, strike every finger of their hands."
8:13 Because they actively fought against Allah and His messenger. Whoever fights against Allah and His messenger, surely the punishment of Allah is severe.
8:14 Taste this. And for the disbelievers there is a torment of Fire.
8:15 O you who believe, when you meet the disbelievers who take hostile action against you, do not turn your backs on them.
8:16 Whoever on that Day turns his back and runs away except as a tactic of war or to join another unit, has incurred the wrath of Allah and his abode is Hell. What an evil abode.
8:17 You did not kill them, but Allah did. And when you threw, you did not throw, but Allah did. But thus He tested the believers with a good test. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
8:19 If you want victory (O disbelievers), victory has come to you! It will be better for you if you desist from attacking. If you turn back, we will also turn back, and your army, however numerous, will not be able to repel you. Allah is with those who believe.
8:20 O you who believe, follow Allah and His Messenger. Do not turn away from him while you hear.
