8. Al-Anfal - The Quran
- 1. They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe."
- 2. For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord;
- 3. Who establish regular prayers and spend (freely) out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance:
- 4. Such in truth are the believers: they have grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness, and generous sustenance:
- 5. Just as thy Lord ordered thee out of thy house in truth, even though a party among the Believers disliked it,
- 6. Disputing with thee concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death and they (actually) saw it.
- 7. Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it should be yours: Ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words and to cut off the roots of the Unbelievers;-
