Surat Al Anfal Ayat 1
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the bounties [of war]. Say, "The [decision concerning] bounties is for Allah and the Messenger." So fear Allah and amend that which is between you and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you should be believers.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 2
The believers are only those who, when Allah 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 -

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 3
The ones who establish prayer, and from what We have provided them, they spend.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 4
Those are the believers, truly. For them are degrees [of high position] with their Lord and forgiveness and noble provision.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 5
[It 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,

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 6
Arguing with you concerning the truth after it had become clear, as if they were being driven toward death while they were looking on.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 7
[Remember, O believers], when Allah promised you one of the two groups - that it would be yours - and you wished that the unarmed one would be yours. But Allah intended to establish the truth by His words and to eliminate the disbelievers

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 8
That He should establish the truth and abolish falsehood, even if the criminals disliked it.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 9
[Remember] when you asked help of your Lord, and He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand from the angels, following one another."

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 10
And Allah made it not but good tidings and so that your hearts would be assured thereby. And victory is not but from Allah . Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 11
[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.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 12
[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."

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 13
That is because they opposed Allah and His Messenger. And whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger - indeed, Allah is severe in penalty.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 14
"That [is yours], so taste it." And indeed for the disbelievers is the punishment of the Fire.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 15
O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [for battle], do not turn to them your backs [in flight].

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 16
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 Allah, and his refuge is Hell - and wretched is the destination.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 17
And you did not kill them, but it was Allah who killed them. And you threw not, [O Muhammad], when you threw, but it was Allah who threw that He might test the believers with a good test. Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 18
That [is so], and [also] that Allah will weaken the plot of the disbelievers.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 19
If you [disbelievers] seek the victory - the 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 Allah is with the believers.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 20
O you who have believed, obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn from him while you hear [his order].

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 21
And do not be like those who say, "We have heard," while they do not hear.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 22
Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are the deaf and dumb who do not use reason.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 23
Had Allah 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.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 24
O you who have believed, respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah intervenes between a man and his heart and that to Him you will be gathered.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 25
And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allah is severe in penalty.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 26
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.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 27

O you who have believed, if you fear Allah, He will grant you a criterion and will remove from you your misdeeds and forgive you. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty.

And [remember, O Muhammad], when those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill you or evict you [from Makkah]. But they plan, and Allah plans. And Allah is the best of planners.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 31
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."

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 32
And [remember] when they said, "O Allah, if this should be the truth from You, then rain down upon us stones from the sky or bring us a painful punishment."

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 33
But Allah would not punish them while you, [O Muhammad], are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 34
But why should Allah not punish them while they obstruct [people] from al-Masjid al- Haram and they were not [fit to be] its guardians? Its [true] guardians are not but the righteous, but most of them do not know.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 35
And their prayer at the House was not except whistling and handclapping. So taste the punishment for what you disbelieved.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 36
Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allah . 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.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 37
[This is] so that Allah 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.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 38
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.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 39
And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah . And if they cease - then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.

And Allah, over all things, is competent.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 42
[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 Allah 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, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 43
[Remember, O Muhammad], when Allah 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 Allah saved [you from that]. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 44
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 Allah might accomplish a matter already destined. And to Allah are [all] matters returned.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 45
O you who have believed, when you encounter a company [from the enemy forces], stand firm and remember Allah much that you may be successful.

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."

And Allah is severe in penalty."

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 49
[Remember] when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts was disease said, "Their religion has deluded those [Muslims]." But whoever relies upon Allah - then indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

And if you could but see when the angels take the souls of those who disbelieved... They are striking their faces and their backs and [saying], "Taste the punishment of the Burning Fire.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 51
That is for what your hands have put forth [of evil] and because Allah is not ever unjust to His servants."

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 52
[Theirs is] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them. They disbelieved in the signs of Allah, so Allah seized them for their sins. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and severe in penalty.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 53
That is because Allah would not change a favor which He had bestowed upon a people until they change what is within themselves. And indeed, Allah is Hearing and Knowing.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 54

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 56
The ones with whom you made a treaty but then they break their pledge every time, and they do not fear Allah .

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 57
So if you, [O Muhammad], gain dominance over them in war, disperse by [means of] them those behind them that perhaps they will be reminded.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 58
If you [have reason to] fear from a people betrayal, throw [their treaty] back to them, [putting you] on equal terms. Indeed, Allah does not like traitors.

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

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 60
And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know [but] whom Allah knows. And whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be fully repaid to you, and you will not be wronged.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 62
But if they intend to deceive you - then sufficient for you is Allah . It is He who supported you with His help and with the believers

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 64
O Prophet, sufficient for you is Allah and for whoever follows you of the believers.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 65
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.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 66
Now, Allah 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 Allah . And Allah is with the steadfast.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 67
It is not for a prophet to have captives [of war] until he inflicts a massacre [upon Allah 's enemies] in the land. Some Muslims desire the commodities of this world, but Allah desires [for you] the Hereafter. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 68
If not for a decree from Allah that preceded, you would have been touched for what you took by a great punishment.

O Prophet, say to whoever is in your hands of the captives, "If Allah knows [any] good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 71
But if they intend to betray you - then they have already betrayed Allah before, and He empowered [you] over them. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 72
Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah 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 guardianship 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 Allah is Seeing of what you do.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 73
And those who disbelieved are allies of one another. If you do not do so, there will be fitnah on earth and great corruption.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 74
But those who have believed and emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided - it is they who are the believers, truly. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.

Surat Al Anfal Ayat 75
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 Allah . Indeed, Allah is Knowing of all things.
