Read Surah Al-Anfal

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اِذْ یُغَشِّیْكُمُ النُّعَاسَ اَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَ یُنَزِّلُ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً لِّیُطَهِّرَكُمْ بِهٖ وَ یُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّیْطٰنِ وَ لِیَرْبِطَ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَ یُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْاَقْدَامَؕ۝۱۱

A blanketing sleep came over you as a (measure of) security from Him, and He sent down rain from the skies to cleanse you, and to remove the plague of Satan, and to strengthen your hearts and steady your steps.

اِذْ یُوْحِیْ رَبُّكَ اِلَی الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اَنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ سَاُلْقِیْ فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوْا فَوْقَ الْاَعْنَاقِ وَ اضْرِبُوْا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍؕ۝۱۲

And the Lord said to the angels: "I am with you; go and strengthen the faithful. I shall fill the hearts of infidels with terror. So smite them on their necks and every joint, (and incapacitate them),"

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ شَآقُّوا اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ ۚ وَ مَنْ یُّشَاقِقِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ۝۱۳

For they had opposed God and His Apostle; but whosoever opposes God and his Apostle (should know) that God is severe in retribution.

ذٰلِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْهُ وَ اَنَّ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ۝۱۴

For you is this (punishment) to taste, for the infidels the torment of Hell.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا لَقِیْتُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوْهُمُ الْاَدْبَارَۚ۝۱۵

O believers, when you meet unbelievers on the field of battle, do not turn your backs to them.

وَ مَنْ یُّوَلِّهِمْ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ دُبُرَهٗۤ اِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ اَوْ مُتَحَیِّزًا اِلٰی فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَآءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ مَاْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ۝۱۶

For any one who turns his back on that day, except to manoeuvre or rally to his side, will bring the wrath of God on himself, and have Hell as abode; and what an evil destination!

فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوْهُمْ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَتَلَهُمْ ۪ وَ مَا رَمَیْتَ اِذْ رَمَیْتَ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَمٰی ۚ وَ لِیُبْلِیَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ مِنْهُ بَلَآءً حَسَنًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ۝۱۷

It was not you who killed them, but God did so. You did not throw what you threw, (sand into the eyes of the enemy at Badr), but God, to bring out the best in the faithful by doing them a favour of His own. God is all-hearing and all-knowing.

ذٰلِكُمْ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُوْهِنُ كَیْدِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ۝۱۸

That was that, but remember God will make the plots of the unbelievers contemptible.

اِنْ تَسْتَفْتِحُوْا فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمُ الْفَتْحُ ۚ وَ اِنْ تَنْتَهُوْا فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَ اِنْ تَعُوْدُوْا نَعُدْ ۚ وَ لَنْ تُغْنِیَ عَنْكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّ لَوْ كَثُرَتْ ۙ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۠۝۱۹

You had asked for a judgement, so the judgement has come to you (In the form of victory for the faithful). So, if you desist it will be better for you. If you come back to it, We shall do the same, and your forces, however large, will not be of the least avail, for God is with those who believe.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ لَا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَ اَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُوْنَۚۖ۝۲۰

O believers, obey God and His Messenger, and do not turn away from him when you hear (him speak);
