Read Surah Al-Anfal

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ فَاَنَّ لِلّٰهِ خُمُسَهٗ وَ لِلرَّسُوْلِ وَ لِذِی الْقُرْبٰی وَ الْیَتٰمٰی وَ الْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَ ابْنِ السَّبِیْلِ ۙ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلٰی عَبْدِنَا یَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ یَوْمَ الْتَقَی الْجَمْعٰنِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ۝۴۱

Know that one-fifth of what you acquire as booty (of war) is for God and His Apostle, and for relatives and orphans, the poor and wayfarers, if you truly believe in God and what We revealed to Our votary on the day of victory over the infidels when the two armies clashed (at Badr). For God has the power to do any thing.

اِذْ اَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ هُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوٰی وَ الرَّكْبُ اَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ ؕ وَ لَوْ تَوَاعَدْتُّمْ لَاخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِی الْمِیْعٰدِ ۙ وَ لٰكِنْ لِّیَقْضِیَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ۙ۬ لِّیَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْۢ بَیِّنَةٍ وَّ یَحْیٰی مَنْ حَیَّ عَنْۢ بَیِّنَةٍ ؕ وَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَسَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌۙ۝۴۲

(That day) when you were at one end of the valley, (the unbelievers) at the other, and the caravan below you (on the lowland by the coast), you would surely have declined to fight if (the Makkans) had offered you battle. (But the battle did take place) that God may end the matter which had been accomplished, so that he who had to die may perish after a clear demonstration, and he who had to live may survive in the light of positive proof, for God hears all and knows everything.

اِذْ یُرِیْكَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْ مَنَامِكَ قَلِیْلًا ؕ وَ لَوْ اَرٰىكَهُمْ كَثِیْرًا لَّفَشِلْتُمْ وَ لَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِی الْاَمْرِ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَلَّمَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ۝۴۳

God showed (the Makkans) to be few in your dream, for if He had shown them to be many you would surely have lost courage and disagreed about the (wisdom) of the battle. But God spared you this, for He surely knows what is in the hearts of men.

وَ اِذْ یُرِیْكُمُوْهُمْ اِذِ الْتَقَیْتُمْ فِیْۤ اَعْیُنِكُمْ قَلِیْلًا وَّ یُقَلِّلُكُمْ فِیْۤ اَعْیُنِهِمْ لِیَقْضِیَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ؕ وَ اِلَی اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ۠۝۴۴

When you faced them He made (the enemy) seem few to you in numbers, and made you appear fewer in their eyes, (it was) so that God could accomplish what had been decreed; for all things rest with God.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا لَقِیْتُمْ فِئَةً فَاثْبُتُوْا وَ اذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِیْرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَۚ۝۴۵

O believers, when you meet an army, stand firm, and think of God a great deal that you may be blessed with success.

وَ اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ وَ لَا تَنَازَعُوْا فَتَفْشَلُوْا وَ تَذْهَبَ رِیْحُكُمْ وَ اصْبِرُوْا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَۚ۝۴۶

Obey God and His Apostle, and do not disagree among yourselves or you will be unmanned and lose courage. Persevere, for God is with those who endure.

وَ لَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ خَرَجُوْا مِنْ دِیَارِهِمْ بَطَرًا وَّ رِئَآءَ النَّاسِ وَ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ۝۴۷

Do not be like those who went out of their homes full of their own importance, ostentatiously, trying to hinder others from the way of God. But God encompasses all they do.

وَ اِذْ زَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ وَ قَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَكُمُ الْیَوْمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ اِنِّیْ جَارٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَتِ الْفِئَتٰنِ نَكَصَ عَلٰی عَقِبَیْهِ وَ قَالَ اِنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّنْكُمْ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰی مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ۠۝۴۸

Satan made their deeds look alluring to them, and said: "None will prevail over you this day, for I shall be near at hand." Yet when the two armies appeared face to face, he turned back and fled, saying: "I am not with you, for I can see what you cannot perceive. I fear God, for His punishment is severe."

اِذْ یَقُوْلُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَ الَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ غَرَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ دِیْنُهُمْ ؕ وَ مَنْ یَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۴۹

The hypocrites, and those who had doubts in their hearts, said: "Their faith has misled them." But whoever places his trust in God will find God mighty and wise.

وَ لَوْ تَرٰۤی اِذْ یَتَوَفَّی الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا ۙ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ یَضْرِبُوْنَ وُجُوْهَهُمْ وَ اَدْبَارَهُمْ ۚ وَ ذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْحَرِیْقِ۝۵۰

If you could only see the infidels as the angels draw away their souls and strike their faces and their backs, (saying): "Taste the torment of burning
