Read Surah Al-Anfal

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ اِنْ جَنَحُوْا لِلسَّلْمِ فَاجْنَحْ لَهَا وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ۝۶۱

But if they are inclined to peace, make peace with them, and have trust in God, for He hears all and knows everything.

وَ اِنْ یُّرِیْدُوْۤا اَنْ یَّخْدَعُوْكَ فَاِنَّ حَسْبَكَ اللّٰهُ ؕ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَیَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهٖ وَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَۙ۝۶۲

If they try to cheat you, God is surely sufficient for you. It is He who has strengthened you with His help and with believers

وَ اَلَّفَ بَیْنَ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ لَوْ اَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا مَّاۤ اَلَّفْتَ بَیْنَ قُلُوْبِهِمْ وَ لٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَلَّفَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۶۳

Whose hearts He cemented with love. You could never have united their hearts even if you had spent whatever (wealth) is in the earth; but God united them with love, for He is all-mighty and all-wise.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ حَسْبُكَ اللّٰهُ وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۠۝۶۴

God is sufficient for you, O Prophet, and the faithful who follow you.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ حَرِّضِ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ عَلَی الْقِتَالِ ؕ اِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ عِشْرُوْنَ صٰبِرُوْنَ یَغْلِبُوْا مِائَتَیْنِ ۚ وَ اِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ مِّائَةٌ یَّغْلِبُوْۤا اَلْفًا مِّنَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بِاَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا یَفْقَهُوْنَ۝۶۵

O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; and if there are a hundred then they will vanquish a thousand unbelievers, for they are people devoid of understanding.

اَلْـٰٔنَ خَفَّفَ اللّٰهُ عَنْكُمْ وَ عَلِمَ اَنَّ فِیْكُمْ ضَعْفًا ؕ فَاِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ مِّائَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ یَّغْلِبُوْا مِائَتَیْنِ ۚ وَ اِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ اَلْفٌ یَّغْلِبُوْۤا اَلْفَیْنِ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ۝۶۶

God has lightened your burden as He knows you are weak: So, if there are a hundred men of firm determination among you, they will vanquish two hundred; and if there are a thousand of you they will vanquish two thousand by the will of God, for God is with those who are determined.

مَا كَانَ لِنَبِیٍّ اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ لَهٗۤ اَسْرٰی حَتّٰی یُثْخِنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ تُرِیْدُوْنَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْیَا ۖۗ وَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ الْاٰخِرَةَ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۶۷

No apostle should take captives until he has battled and subdued the country. You desire the vanities of this world, but God wills (for you the reward) of the world to come; and God is all-mighty and all-wise.

لَوْ لَا كِتٰبٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِیْمَاۤ اَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ۝۶۸

Had this not been decreed by God in advance, you would have suffered a grievous punishment for what you took (as booty).

فَكُلُوْا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا ۖؗ وَّ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۠۝۶۹

But now use such of the spoils as are lawful and good, and fear God, for God is forgiving and kind.

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ قُلْ لِّمَنْ فِیْۤ اَیْدِیْكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَسْرٰۤی ۙ اِنْ یَّعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ فِیْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ خَیْرًا یُّؤْتِكُمْ خَیْرًا مِّمَّاۤ اُخِذَ مِنْكُمْ وَ یَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ۝۷۰

O Prophet, tell the captives you have taken: "If God finds some good in your hearts, He will reward you with something better than was taken away from you, and forgive your sins, for God is forgiving and kind."
