Surah Al-Anfal

Verse 8:1

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْاَنْفَالِ ؕ قُلِ الْاَنْفَالُ لِلّٰهِ وَالرَّسُوْلِ ۚ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَاَصْلِحُوْا ذَاتَ بَیْنِكُمْ ۪ وَاَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟

Yasʹaloonaka ʻanil ʹAÑ-FAAL. Q̣ulil ʹAñfaalu lillaahi war-Rasool: Fattaq̣ul laaha wa-ʹaṣliḥoo ẓaata baynikum: wa-ʹaṭeeʻul laaha wa-Rasoolahooo ʹiñ kuñtum Muʹmineen.

They ask you ˹O Prophet˺ regarding the spoils of war. Say, “Their distribution is decided by Allah and His Messenger. So be mindful of Allah, settle your affairs, and obey Allah and His Messenger if you are ˹true˺ believers.”

Verse 8:2

اِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ الَّذِیْنَ اِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّٰهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوْبُهُمْ وَاِذَا تُلِیَتْ عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُهٗ زَادَتْهُمْ اِیْمَانًا وَّعَلٰی رَبِّهِمْ یَتَوَكَّلُوْنَ ۟ۚۖ

ʹInnamal Muʹminoonal laẓeena ʹizaa ẓukiral laahu wajilat q̣uloobuhum wa-ʹiẓaa tuliyat ʻalayhim ʹAayaatuhoo zaadathum ʹeemaanañw Waʻalaa Rabbihim yatawakkaloon;

The ˹true˺ believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord.

Verse 8:3

الَّذِیْنَ یُقِیْمُوْنَ الصَّلٰوةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنٰهُمْ یُنْفِقُوْنَ ۟ؕ

ʹAllaẓeena yuq̣eemoonaṣ Ṣalaata wa-mimmaa razaq̣naahum yuñfiq̣oon:

˹They are˺ those who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.

Verse 8:4

اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَقًّا ؕ لَهُمْ دَرَجٰتٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِیْمٌ ۟ۚ

ʹUlaaaʹika humul Muʹminoona ḥaq̣q̣aa; lahum darajaatun ʻiñda Rabbihim wa-mag̣firatuñw warizq̣uñ kareem.

It is they who are the true believers. They will have elevated ranks, forgiveness, and an honourable provision from their Lord.

Verse 8:5

كَمَاۤ اَخْرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَیْتِكَ بِالْحَقِّ ۪ وَاِنَّ فَرِیْقًا مِّنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ لَكٰرِهُوْنَ ۟ۙ

Kamaaa ʹakhrajaka Rabbuka mim baytika bilḥaq̣q̣i wa-ʹinna fareeq̣am minal Muʹmineena lakaarihoon,

Similarly, when your Lord brought you ˹O Prophet˺ out of your home for a just cause, a group of believers was totally against it.

Verse 8:6

یُجَادِلُوْنَكَ فِی الْحَقِّ بَعْدَ مَا تَبَیَّنَ كَاَنَّمَا یُسَاقُوْنَ اِلَی الْمَوْتِ وَهُمْ یَنْظُرُوْنَ ۟ؕ

Yujaadiloonaka fil Ḥaq̣q̣i baʻdamaa- tabayyana kaʹannamaa yusaaq̣oona ʹilal mawti wa-hum yañz̤̣uroon.

They disputed with you about the truth after it had been made clear, as if they were being driven to death with their eyes wide open.

Verse 8:7

وَاِذْ یَعِدُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اِحْدَی الطَّآىِٕفَتَیْنِ اَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّوْنَ اَنَّ غَیْرَ ذَاتِ الشَّوْكَةِ تَكُوْنُ لَكُمْ وَیُرِیْدُ اللّٰهُ اَنْ یُّحِقَّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمٰتِهٖ وَیَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹiẓ yaʻidukumul laahu ʹiḥdaṭ ṭaaaʹifatayni ʹannahaa lakum wa-tawaddoona ʹanna g̣ayra ẓaatish shawkati takoonu lakum wa-yureedul laahu ʹañy yuḥiq̣q̣al Ḥaq̣q̣a bi-Kalimaatihee wa-yaq̣ṭaʻa daabiral kaafireen;―

˹Remember, O believers,˺ when Allah promised ˹to give˺ you the upper hand over either target, you wished to capture the unarmed party. But it was Allah’s Will to establish the truth by His Words and uproot the disbelievers;

Verse 8:8

لِیُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَیُبْطِلَ الْبَاطِلَ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُوْنَ ۟ۚ

Liyuḥiq̣q̣al Ḥaq̣q̣a wa-yubṭilal Baaṭila wa-law karihal mujrimoon.

to firmly establish the truth and wipe out falsehood—even to the dismay of the wicked.

Verse 8:9

اِذْ تَسْتَغِیْثُوْنَ رَبَّكُمْ فَاسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ اَنِّیْ مُمِدُّكُمْ بِاَلْفٍ مِّنَ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ مُرْدِفِیْنَ ۟

ʹIẓ tastag̣ees̤oona Rabbakum fastajaaba lakum ʹannee mumiddukum̃ biʹalfim minal malaaaʹikati murdifeen.

˹Remember˺ when you cried out to your Lord for help, He answered, “I will reinforce you with a thousand angels—followed by many others.”

Verse 8:10

وَمَا جَعَلَهُ اللّٰهُ اِلَّا بُشْرٰی وَلِتَطْمَىِٕنَّ بِهٖ قُلُوْبُكُمْ ۚ وَمَا النَّصْرُ اِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟۠

Wa-maa jaʻalahul laahu ʹillaa bushraa wa-litaṭmaʹinna bihee q̣uloobukum. Wa-man naṣru ʹillaa min ʻiñdil laah: ʹinnal laaha ʻAzeezun Ḥakeem.

And Allah made this a sign of victory and reassurance to your hearts. Victory comes only from Allah. Surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 8:11

اِذْ یُغَشِّیْكُمُ النُّعَاسَ اَمَنَةً مِّنْهُ وَیُنَزِّلُ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً لِّیُطَهِّرَكُمْ بِهٖ وَیُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمْ رِجْزَ الشَّیْطٰنِ وَلِیَرْبِطَ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَیُثَبِّتَ بِهِ الْاَقْدَامَ ۟ؕ

ʹIẓ yug̣ashsheekumun nuʻaasa ʹamanatam minhu wa-yunazzilu ʻalaykum minas samaaaʹi maaaʹal liyuṭahhirakum̃ bihee wa-yuẓhiba ʻañkum rijzash Shayṭaani wa-liyarbiṭa ʻalaa q̣uloobikum wa-yus̤abbita bihil ʹaq̣daam.

˹Remember˺ when He caused drowsiness to overcome you, giving you serenity. And He sent down rain from the sky to purify you, free you from Satan’s whispers, strengthen your hearts, and make ˹your˺ steps firm.

Verse 8:12

اِذْ یُوْحِیْ رَبُّكَ اِلَی الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةِ اَنِّیْ مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ؕ سَاُلْقِیْ فِیْ قُلُوْبِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوْا فَوْقَ الْاَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوْا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ ۟ؕ

ʹIẓ yooḥee Rabbuka ʹilal malaaaʹikati ʹannee maʻakum fas̤abbitul laẓeena ʹaamanoo. Saʹulq̣ee fee q̣uloobil laẓeena kafarur ruʻba faḍriboo fawq̣al ʹaʻnaaq̣i waḍriboo minhum kulla banaan.

˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when your Lord revealed to the angels, “I am with you. So make the believers stand firm. I will cast horror into the hearts of the disbelievers. So strike their necks and strike their fingertips.”

Verse 8:13

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّهُمْ شَآقُّوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ ۚ وَمَنْ یُّشَاقِقِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ ۟

Ẓaalika biʹannahum shaaaq̣q̣ul laaha wa-Rasoolah: wa-mañy yushaaq̣iq̣il laaha wa-Rasoolahoo faʹinnal laaha shadeedul ʻiq̣aab.

This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies Allah and His Messenger, then ˹know that˺ Allah is surely severe in punishment.

Verse 8:14

ذٰلِكُمْ فَذُوْقُوْهُ وَاَنَّ لِلْكٰفِرِیْنَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ ۟

Ẓaalikum faẓooq̣oohu wa-ʹanna lilkaafireena ʻaẓaaban Naar.

That ˹worldly punishment˺ is yours, so taste it! Then the disbelievers will suffer the torment of the Fire.

Verse 8:15

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا لَقِیْتُمُ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا زَحْفًا فَلَا تُوَلُّوْهُمُ الْاَدْبَارَ ۟ۚ

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹiẓaa laq̣eetumul laẓeena kafaroo zaḥfañ falaa tuwalloohumul ʹadbaar.

O believers! When you face the disbelievers in battle, never turn your backs to them.

Verse 8:16

وَمَنْ یُّوَلِّهِمْ یَوْمَىِٕذٍ دُبُرَهٗۤ اِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ اَوْ مُتَحَیِّزًا اِلٰی فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَآءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَاْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُ ؕ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ ۟

Wa-mañy yuwallihim yawmaʹiẓiñ duburahooo ʹillaa mutaḥarrifal liq̣itaalin ʹaw mutaḥayyizan ʹilaa fiʹatiñ faq̣ad baaaʹa big̣aḍabim minal laahi wa-maʹwaahu Jahannam,― wa-biʹsal maṣeer!

And whoever does so on such an occasion—unless it is a manoeuvre or to join their own troops—will earn the displeasure of Allah, and their home will be Hell. What an evil destination!

Verse 8:17

فَلَمْ تَقْتُلُوْهُمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَتَلَهُمْ ۪ وَمَا رَمَیْتَ اِذْ رَمَیْتَ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ رَمٰی ۚ وَلِیُبْلِیَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ مِنْهُ بَلَآءً حَسَنًا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟

Falam taq̣tuloohum wa-laakinnal laaha q̣atalahum. Wa-maa ramayta ʹiẓ ramayta wa-laakinnal laaha ramaa: wa-liyubliyal Muʹmineena minhu balaaaʹan ḥasanaa: ʹinnal laaha Sameeʻun ʻAleem.

It was not you ˹believers˺ who killed them, but it was Allah Who did so. Nor was it you ˹O Prophet˺ who threw ˹a handful of sand at the disbelievers˺, but it was Allah Who did so, rendering the believers a great favour. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 8:18

ذٰلِكُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مُوْهِنُ كَیْدِ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟

Ẓaalikum wa-ʹannal laaha moohinu kaydil kaafireen.

As such, Allah frustrates the evil plans of the disbelievers.

Verse 8:19

اِنْ تَسْتَفْتِحُوْا فَقَدْ جَآءَكُمُ الْفَتْحُ ۚ وَاِنْ تَنْتَهُوْا فَهُوَ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَاِنْ تَعُوْدُوْا نَعُدْ ۚ وَلَنْ تُغْنِیَ عَنْكُمْ فِئَتُكُمْ شَیْـًٔا وَّلَوْ كَثُرَتْ ۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟۠

ʹIñ tastaftiḥoo faq̣ad jaaaʹakumul fatḥ. Wa-ʹiñ tañtahoo fahuwa khayrul lakum. Wa-ʹiñ taʻoodoo naʻud. Wa-lañ tug̣niya ʻañkum fiʹatukum shayʹañw walaw kas̤urat wa-ʹannal laaha maʻal Muʹmineen!

If you ˹Meccans˺ sought judgment, now it has come to you. And if you cease, it will be for your own good. But if you persist, We will persist. And your forces—no matter how numerous they might be—will not benefit you whatsoever. For Allah is certainly with the believers.

Verse 8:20

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ وَاَنْتُمْ تَسْمَعُوْنَ ۟ۚۖ

Yaaaʹayyuhaal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹaṭeeʻul laaha wa-Rasoolahoo wa-laa tawallaw ʻanhu wa-ʹañtum tasmaʻoon.

O believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn away from him while you hear ˹his call˺.

Verse 8:21

وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ قَالُوْا سَمِعْنَا وَهُمْ لَا یَسْمَعُوْنَ ۟

Wa-laa takoonoo kallaẓeena q̣aaloo samiʻnaa wahum laa- yasmaʻoon:

Do not be like those who say, “We hear,” but in fact they are not listening.

Verse 8:22

اِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَآبِّ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الصُّمُّ الْبُكْمُ الَّذِیْنَ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ ۟

ʹInna sharrad dawaaabbi ʻiñdal laahiṣ ṣummul bukmul laẓeena laa- yaʻq̣iloon.

Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are the ˹wilfully˺ deaf and dumb, who do not understand.

Verse 8:23

وَلَوْ عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ فِیْهِمْ خَیْرًا لَّاَسْمَعَهُمْ ؕ وَلَوْ اَسْمَعَهُمْ لَتَوَلَّوْا وَّهُمْ مُّعْرِضُوْنَ ۟

Wa-law ʻalimal laahu feehim khayral laʹasmaʻahum: wa-law ʹasmaʻahum latawallaw wahum muʻriḍoon.

Had Allah known any goodness in them, He would have certainly made them hear. ˹But˺ even if He had made them hear, they would have surely turned away heedlessly.

Verse 8:24

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوا اسْتَجِیْبُوْا لِلّٰهِ وَلِلرَّسُوْلِ اِذَا دَعَاكُمْ لِمَا یُحْیِیْكُمْ ۚ وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَحُوْلُ بَیْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهٖ وَاَنَّهٗۤ اِلَیْهِ تُحْشَرُوْنَ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanus tajeeboo lillaahi wa-lir-Rasooli ʹiẓaa daʻaakum limaa yuḥyeekum: waʻlamooo ʹannal laaha yaḥoolu baynal marʹi wa-q̣albihee wa-ʹannahooo ʹilayhi tuḥsharoon.

O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah stands between a person and their heart, and that to Him you will all be gathered.

Verse 8:25

وَاتَّقُوْا فِتْنَةً لَّا تُصِیْبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا مِنْكُمْ خَآصَّةً ۚ وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ ۟

Wattaq̣oo fitnatal laa tuṣeebannal laẓeena z̤̣alamoo miñkum khaaaṣṣah: waʻlamooo ʹannal laaha shadeedul ʻiq̣aab.

Beware of a trial that will not only affect the wrongdoers among you. And know that Allah is severe in punishment.

Verse 8:26

وَاذْكُرُوْۤا اِذْ اَنْتُمْ قَلِیْلٌ مُّسْتَضْعَفُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ تَخَافُوْنَ اَنْ یَّتَخَطَّفَكُمُ النَّاسُ فَاٰوٰىكُمْ وَاَیَّدَكُمْ بِنَصْرِهٖ وَرَزَقَكُمْ مِّنَ الطَّیِّبٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَ ۟

Waẓkurooo ʹiẓ ʹañtum q̣aleelum mustaḍʻafoona fil ʹarḍi takhaafoona ʹañy yatakhaṭṭafakumun naasu faʹaawaakum wa-ʹayyadakum̃ binaṣrihee wa-razaq̣akum minaṭ ṭayyibaati laʻallakum tashkuroon.

Remember when you had been vastly outnumbered and oppressed in the land, constantly in fear of attacks by your enemy, then He sheltered you, strengthened you with His help, and provided you with good things so perhaps you would be thankful.

Verse 8:27

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَخُوْنُوا اللّٰهَ وَالرَّسُوْلَ وَتَخُوْنُوْۤا اَمٰنٰتِكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanoo laa- takhoonul laaha war-Rasoola wa-takhoonooo ʹamaanaatikum wa-ʹañtum taʻlamoon.

O believers! Do not betray Allah and the Messenger, nor betray your trusts knowingly.

Verse 8:28

وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَاۤ اَمْوَالُكُمْ وَاَوْلَادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ ۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ عِنْدَهٗۤ اَجْرٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟۠

Waʻlamooo ʹannamaaa ʹamwaalukum wa-ʹawlaadukum fitnatuñw waʹannal laaha ʻiñdahooo ʹajrun ʻaz̤̣eem.

And know that your wealth and your children are only a test and that with Allah is a great reward.

Verse 8:29

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِنْ تَتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ یَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ فُرْقَانًا وَّیُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَیِّاٰتِكُمْ وَیَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیْمِ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena ʹaamanooo ʹiñ tattaq̣ul laaha yajʻal lakum Furq̣aanañw Wayukaffir ʻañkum sayyiʹaatikum wa-yag̣fir lakum. Wallaahu Ẓul Faḍlil ʻaz̤̣eem.

O believers! If you are mindful of Allah, He will grant you a standard ˹to distinguish between right and wrong˺, absolve you of your sins, and forgive you. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.

Verse 8:30

وَاِذْ یَمْكُرُ بِكَ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا لِیُثْبِتُوْكَ اَوْ یَقْتُلُوْكَ اَوْ یُخْرِجُوْكَ ؕ وَیَمْكُرُوْنَ وَیَمْكُرُ اللّٰهُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَیْرُ الْمٰكِرِیْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓ yamkuru bikal laẓeena kafaroo liyus̤bitooka ʹaw yaq̣tulooka ʹaw yukhrijook. Wa-yamkuroona wa-yamkurul laah: wallaahu Khayrul maakireen.

And ˹remember, O Prophet,˺ when the disbelievers conspired to capture, kill, or exile you. They planned, but Allah also planned. And Allah is the best of planners.

Verse 8:31

وَاِذَا تُتْلٰی عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتُنَا قَالُوْا قَدْ سَمِعْنَا لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ هٰذَاۤ ۙ اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسَاطِیْرُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓaa tutlaa ʻalayhim ʹAayaatunaa q̣aaloo q̣ad samiʻnaa law nashaaaʹu laq̣ulnaa mis̤la haaẓaaa ʹin haaẓaaa ʹillaaa ʹasaaṭeerul ʹawwaleen.

Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they challenge ˹you˺, “We have already heard ˹the recitation˺. If we wanted, we could have easily produced something similar. This ˹Quran˺ is nothing but ancient fables!”

Verse 8:32

وَاِذْ قَالُوا اللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ هٰذَا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَاَمْطِرْ عَلَیْنَا حِجَارَةً مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اَوِ ائْتِنَا بِعَذَابٍ اَلِیْمٍ ۟

Wa-ʹiẓ q̣aalul laahumma ʹiñ kaana haaẓaa huwal Ḥaq̣q̣a min ʻiñdika faʹamṭir ʻalaynaa ḥijaaratam minas samaaaʹi ʹawiʹ tinaa biʻaẓaabin ʹaleem.

And ˹remember˺ when they prayed, “O Allah! If this is indeed the truth from You, then rain down stones upon us from the sky or overcome us with a painful punishment.”

Verse 8:33

وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِیُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَاَنْتَ فِیْهِمْ ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَهُمْ یَسْتَغْفِرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-maa kaanal laahu liyuʻaẓẓibahum wa-ʹañta feehim; wa-maa kaanal laahu muʻaẓẓibahum wa-hum yastag̣firoon.

But Allah would never punish them while you ˹O Prophet˺ were in their midst. Nor would He ever punish them if they prayed for forgiveness.

Verse 8:34

وَمَا لَهُمْ اَلَّا یُعَذِّبَهُمُ اللّٰهُ وَهُمْ یَصُدُّوْنَ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَمَا كَانُوْۤا اَوْلِیَآءَهٗ ؕ اِنْ اَوْلِیَآؤُهٗۤ اِلَّا الْمُتَّقُوْنَ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Wa-maa lahum ʹallaa yuʻaẓẓibahumul laahu wa-hum yaṣuddoona ʻanil Masjidil Ḥaraami wa-maa kaanooo ʹawliyaaaʹah? ʹIn ʹawliyaaaʹuhooo ʹillal Muttaq̣oona walaakinna ʹaks̤arahum laa- yaʻlamoon.

And why should Allah not punish them while they hinder pilgrims from the Sacred Mosque, claiming to be its rightful guardians? None has the right to guardianship except those mindful ˹of Allah˺, but most pagans do not know.

Verse 8:35

وَمَا كَانَ صَلَاتُهُمْ عِنْدَ الْبَیْتِ اِلَّا مُكَآءً وَّتَصْدِیَةً ؕ فَذُوْقُوا الْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْفُرُوْنَ ۟

Wa-maa kaana ṣalaatuhum ʻiñdal Bayti ʹillaa mukaaaʹañw wataṣdiyah: faẓooq̣ul ʻaẓaaba bimaa kuñtum takfuroon.

Their prayer at the Sacred House was nothing but whistling and clapping. So taste the punishment for your disbelief.

Verse 8:36

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یُنْفِقُوْنَ اَمْوَالَهُمْ لِیَصُدُّوْا عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ فَسَیُنْفِقُوْنَهَا ثُمَّ تَكُوْنُ عَلَیْهِمْ حَسْرَةً ثُمَّ یُغْلَبُوْنَ ؕ۬ وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِلٰی جَهَنَّمَ یُحْشَرُوْنَ ۟ۙ

ʹInnal laẓeena kafaroo yuñfiq̣oona ʹamwaalahum liyaṣuddoo ʻañ Sabeelil laah. Fasayuñfiq̣oonahaa s̤umma takoonu ʻalayhim ḥasratañ s̤umma yug̣laboon. Wal-laẓeena kafarooo ʹilaa Jahannama yuḥsharoon.

Surely the disbelievers spend their wealth to hinder others from the Path of Allah. They will continue to spend to the point of regret. Then they will be defeated and the disbelievers will be driven into Hell,

Verse 8:37

لِیَمِیْزَ اللّٰهُ الْخَبِیْثَ مِنَ الطَّیِّبِ وَیَجْعَلَ الْخَبِیْثَ بَعْضَهٗ عَلٰی بَعْضٍ فَیَرْكُمَهٗ جَمِیْعًا فَیَجْعَلَهٗ فِیْ جَهَنَّمَ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْخٰسِرُوْنَ ۟۠

so Allah may separate the evil from the good. He will pile up the evil ones all together and then cast them into Hell. They are the ˹true˺ losers.

Verse 8:38

قُلْ لِّلَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْۤا اِنْ یَّنْتَهُوْا یُغْفَرْ لَهُمْ مَّا قَدْ سَلَفَ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّعُوْدُوْا فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّتُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ ۟

Q̣ul lillaẓeena kafarooo ʹiñy yañtahoo yug̣far lahum maa q̣ad salaf; wa-ʹiñy yaʻoodoo faq̣ad maḍat Sunnatul ʹawwaleen.

Tell the disbelievers that if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist, then they have an example in those destroyed before them.

Verse 8:39

وَقَاتِلُوْهُمْ حَتّٰی لَا تَكُوْنَ فِتْنَةٌ وَّیَكُوْنَ الدِّیْنُ كُلُّهٗ لِلّٰهِ ۚ فَاِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ ۟

Wa-q̣aatiloohum ḥattaa laa- takoona fitnatuñw wayakoonad Deenu kulluhoo lillaah; faʹiniñ tahaw faʹinnal laaha bimaa yaʻmaloona Baṣeer.

Fight against them until there is no more persecution—and ˹your˺ devotion will be entirely to Allah. But if they desist, then surely Allah is All-Seeing of what they do.

Verse 8:40

وَاِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ مَوْلٰىكُمْ ؕ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلٰی وَنِعْمَ النَّصِیْرُ ۟

Wa-ʹin tawallaw faʻlamooo ʹannal laaha Mawlaakum― Niʻmal Mawlaa wa-Niʻman Naṣeer.

And if they do not comply, then know that Allah is your Protector. What an excellent Protector, and what an excellent Helper!

Verse 8:41

وَاعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّمَا غَنِمْتُمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ فَاَنَّ لِلّٰهِ خُمُسَهٗ وَلِلرَّسُوْلِ وَلِذِی الْقُرْبٰی وَالْیَتٰمٰی وَالْمَسٰكِیْنِ وَابْنِ السَّبِیْلِ ۙ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ اٰمَنْتُمْ بِاللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلٰی عَبْدِنَا یَوْمَ الْفُرْقَانِ یَوْمَ الْتَقَی الْجَمْعٰنِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ ۟

Know that whatever spoils you take, one-fifth is for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ˹needy˺ travellers, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and what We revealed to Our servant on that decisive day when the two armies met ˹at Badr˺. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.

Verse 8:42

اِذْ اَنْتُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الدُّنْیَا وَهُمْ بِالْعُدْوَةِ الْقُصْوٰی وَالرَّكْبُ اَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ ؕ وَلَوْ تَوَاعَدْتُّمْ لَاخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِی الْمِیْعٰدِ ۙ وَلٰكِنْ لِّیَقْضِیَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ۙ۬ لِّیَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ عَنْ بَیِّنَةٍ وَّیَحْیٰی مَنْ حَیَّ عَنْ بَیِّنَةٍ ؕ وَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَسَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

˹Remember˺ when you were on the near side of the valley, your enemy on the far side, and the caravan was below you. Even if the two armies had made an appointment ˹to meet˺, both would have certainly missed it. Still it transpired so Allah may establish what He had destined—that those who were to perish and those who were to survive might do so after the truth had been made clear to both. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 8:43

اِذْ یُرِیْكَهُمُ اللّٰهُ فِیْ مَنَامِكَ قَلِیْلًا ؕ وَلَوْ اَرٰىكَهُمْ كَثِیْرًا لَّفَشِلْتُمْ وَلَتَنَازَعْتُمْ فِی الْاَمْرِ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَلَّمَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِذَاتِ الصُّدُوْرِ ۟

˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when Allah showed them in your dream as few in number. Had He shown them to you as many, you ˹believers˺ would have certainly faltered and disputed in the matter. But Allah spared you ˹from that˺. Surely He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

Verse 8:44

وَاِذْ یُرِیْكُمُوْهُمْ اِذِ الْتَقَیْتُمْ فِیْۤ اَعْیُنِكُمْ قَلِیْلًا وَّیُقَلِّلُكُمْ فِیْۤ اَعْیُنِهِمْ لِیَقْضِیَ اللّٰهُ اَمْرًا كَانَ مَفْعُوْلًا ؕ وَاِلَی اللّٰهِ تُرْجَعُ الْاُمُوْرُ ۟۠

Then when your armies met, Allah made them appear as few in your eyes, and made you appear as few in theirs, so Allah may establish what He had destined. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

Verse 8:45

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا لَقِیْتُمْ فِئَةً فَاثْبُتُوْا وَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِیْرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ ۟ۚ

O believers! When you face an enemy, stand firm and remember Allah often so you may triumph.

Verse 8:46

وَاَطِیْعُوا اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوْا فَتَفْشَلُوْا وَتَذْهَبَ رِیْحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُوْا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ ۟ۚ

Wa-ʹaṭeeʻul laaha wa-Rasoolahoo wa-laa tanaazaʻoo fatafshaloo wa-taẓhaba reeḥukum waṣbiroo: ʹinnal laaha maʻaṣ Ṣaabireen.

Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not dispute with one another, or you would be discouraged and weakened. Persevere! Surely Allah is with those who persevere.

Verse 8:47

وَلَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ خَرَجُوْا مِنْ دِیَارِهِمْ بَطَرًا وَّرِئَآءَ النَّاسِ وَیَصُدُّوْنَ عَنْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ مُحِیْطٌ ۟

Wa-laa takoonoo kallaẓeena kharajoo miñ diyaarihim̃ baṭarañw wariʹaaaʹan naasi wa-yaṣuddoona ʻañ Sabeelil laah: wallaahu bimaa yaʻmaloona Muḥeeṭ.

Do not be like those ˹pagans˺ who left their homes arrogantly, only to be seen by people and to hinder others from Allah’s Path. And Allah is Fully Aware of what they do.

Verse 8:48

وَاِذْ زَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّیْطٰنُ اَعْمَالَهُمْ وَقَالَ لَا غَالِبَ لَكُمُ الْیَوْمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَاِنِّیْ جَارٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا تَرَآءَتِ الْفِئَتٰنِ نَكَصَ عَلٰی عَقِبَیْهِ وَقَالَ اِنِّیْ بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّنْكُمْ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰی مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ ۟۠

And ˹remember˺ when Satan made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, and said, “No one can overcome you today. I am surely by your side.” But when the two forces faced off, he cowered and said, “I have absolutely nothing to do with you. I certainly see what you do not see. I truly fear Allah, for Allah is severe in punishment.”

Verse 8:49

اِذْ یَقُوْلُ الْمُنٰفِقُوْنَ وَالَّذِیْنَ فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ مَّرَضٌ غَرَّ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ دِیْنُهُمْ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی اللّٰهِ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

˹Remember˺ when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “These ˹believers˺ are deluded by their faith.” But whoever puts their trust in Allah, surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 8:50

وَلَوْ تَرٰۤی اِذْ یَتَوَفَّی الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوا ۙ الْمَلٰٓىِٕكَةُ یَضْرِبُوْنَ وُجُوْهَهُمْ وَاَدْبَارَهُمْ ۚ وَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابَ الْحَرِیْقِ ۟

Wa-law taraaa ʹiẓ yatawaffal laẓeena kafarul malaaaʹikatu yaḍriboona wujoohahum wa-ʹadbaarahum: wa-ẓooq̣oo ʻAẓaabal ḥareeq̣!

If only you could see when the angels take the souls of the disbelievers, beating their faces and backs, ˹saying,˺ “Taste the torment of burning!

Verse 8:51

ذٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَیْدِیْكُمْ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَیْسَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِّلْعَبِیْدِ ۟ۙ

This is ˹the reward˺ for what your hands have done. And Allah is never unjust to ˹His˺ creation.”

كَدَاْبِ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ ۙ وَالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ؕ كَفَرُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللّٰهُ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَوِیٌّ شَدِیْدُ الْعِقَابِ ۟

Their fate is that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them—they all disbelieved in Allah’s signs, so Allah seized them for their sins. Indeed, Allah is All-Powerful, severe in punishment.

Verse 8:53

ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَمْ یَكُ مُغَیِّرًا نِّعْمَةً اَنْعَمَهَا عَلٰی قَوْمٍ حَتّٰی یُغَیِّرُوْا مَا بِاَنْفُسِهِمْ ۙ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟ۙ

This is because Allah would never discontinue His favour to a people until they discontinue their faith. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 8:54

كَدَاْبِ اٰلِ فِرْعَوْنَ ۙ وَالَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ؕ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ فَاَهْلَكْنٰهُمْ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ وَاَغْرَقْنَاۤ اٰلَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ وَكُلٌّ كَانُوْا ظٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

That was the case with Pharaoh’s people and those before them—they all rejected the signs of their Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins and drowned Pharaoh’s people. They were all wrongdoers.

Verse 8:55

اِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَآبِّ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا فَهُمْ لَا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ ۟ۖۚ

ʹInna sharrad dawaaabbi ʻiñdal laahil laẓeena kafaroo fahum laa- yuʹminoon.

Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are those who persist in disbelief, never to have faith—

Verse 8:56

اَلَّذِیْنَ عٰهَدْتَّ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ یَنْقُضُوْنَ عَهْدَهُمْ فِیْ كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَّهُمْ لَا یَتَّقُوْنَ ۟

ʹAllaẓeena ʻaahatta min-hum s̤umma yañq̣uḍoona ʻahdahum fee kulli marratiñw wahum laa- yattaq̣oon.

˹namely˺ those with whom you ˹O Prophet˺ have entered into treaties, but they violate them every time, not fearing the consequences.

Verse 8:57

فَاِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِی الْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِمْ مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَذَّكَّرُوْنَ ۟

Faʹimmaa tas̤q̣afannahum fil ḥarbi fasharrid bihim man khalfahum laʻallahum yaẓẓakkaroon.

If you ever encounter them in battle, make a fearsome example of them, so perhaps those who would follow them may be deterred.

Verse 8:58

وَاِمَّا تَخَافَنَّ مِنْ قَوْمٍ خِیَانَةً فَانْۢبِذْ اِلَیْهِمْ عَلٰی سَوَآءٍ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُحِبُّ الْخَآىِٕنِیْنَ ۟۠

Wa-ʹimmaa takhaafanna miñ q̣awmin khiyaanatañ fambiẓ ʹilayhim ʻalaa sawaaaʹ: ʹinnal laaha laa- yuḥibbul khaaaʹineen.

And if you ˹O Prophet˺ see signs of betrayal by a people, respond by openly terminating your treaty with them. Surely Allah does not like those who betray.

Verse 8:59

وَلَا یَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا سَبَقُوْا ؕ اِنَّهُمْ لَا یُعْجِزُوْنَ ۟

Wa-laa yaḥsabannal laẓeena kafaroo sabaq̣oo: ʹinnahum laa- yuʻjizoon.

Do not let those disbelievers think they are not within reach. They will have no escape.

Verse 8:60

وَاَعِدُّوْا لَهُمْ مَّا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ مِّنْ قُوَّةٍ وَّمِنْ رِّبَاطِ الْخَیْلِ تُرْهِبُوْنَ بِهٖ عَدُوَّ اللّٰهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَاٰخَرِیْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهِمْ ۚ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَهُمْ ۚ اَللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُهُمْ ؕ وَمَا تُنْفِقُوْا مِنْ شَیْءٍ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ یُوَفَّ اِلَیْكُمْ وَاَنْتُمْ لَا تُظْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Prepare against them what you ˹believers˺ can of ˹military˺ power and cavalry to deter Allah’s enemies and your enemies as well as other enemies unknown to you but known to Allah. Whatever you spend in the cause of Allah will be paid to you in full and you will not be wronged.

Verse 8:61

وَاِنْ جَنَحُوْا لِلسَّلْمِ فَاجْنَحْ لَهَا وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَی اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ ۟

Wa-ʹiñ janaḥoo lissalmi fajnaḥ lahaa wa-tawakkal ʻalal laah: ʹinnahoo Huwas Sameeʻul ʻAleem.

If the enemy is inclined towards peace, make peace with them. And put your trust in Allah. Indeed, He ˹alone˺ is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Verse 8:62

وَاِنْ یُّرِیْدُوْۤا اَنْ یَّخْدَعُوْكَ فَاِنَّ حَسْبَكَ اللّٰهُ ؕ هُوَ الَّذِیْۤ اَیَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهٖ وَبِالْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟ۙ

Wa-ʹiñy yureedooo ʹañy yakhdaʻooka faʹinna ḥasbakal laah. Huwal laẓeee ʹayyadaka binaṣrihee wa-bil-Muʹmineen.

But if their intention is only to deceive you, then Allah is certainly sufficient for you. He is the One Who has supported you with His help and with the believers.

Verse 8:63

وَاَلَّفَ بَیْنَ قُلُوْبِهِمْ ؕ لَوْ اَنْفَقْتَ مَا فِی الْاَرْضِ جَمِیْعًا مَّاۤ اَلَّفْتَ بَیْنَ قُلُوْبِهِمْ وَلٰكِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَلَّفَ بَیْنَهُمْ ؕ اِنَّهٗ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

He brought their hearts together. Had you spent all the riches in the earth, you could not have united their hearts. But Allah has united them. Indeed, He is Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 8:64

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ حَسْبُكَ اللّٰهُ وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟۠

O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you.

Verse 8:65

O Prophet! Motivate the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there are one hundred of you, they will overcome one thousand of the disbelievers, for they are a people who do not comprehend.

Verse 8:66

اَلْـٰٔنَ خَفَّفَ اللّٰهُ عَنْكُمْ وَعَلِمَ اَنَّ فِیْكُمْ ضَعْفًا ؕ فَاِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ مِّائَةٌ صَابِرَةٌ یَّغْلِبُوْا مِائَتَیْنِ ۚ وَاِنْ یَّكُنْ مِّنْكُمْ اَلْفٌ یَّغْلِبُوْۤا اَلْفَیْنِ بِاِذْنِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ مَعَ الصّٰبِرِیْنَ ۟

Now Allah has lightened your burden, for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there be one thousand, they will overcome two thousand, by Allah’s Will. And Allah is with the steadfast.

Verse 8:67

مَا كَانَ لِنَبِیٍّ اَنْ یَّكُوْنَ لَهٗۤ اَسْرٰی حَتّٰی یُثْخِنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ تُرِیْدُوْنَ عَرَضَ الدُّنْیَا ۖۗ وَاللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ الْاٰخِرَةَ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

It is not fit for a prophet that he should take captives until he has thoroughly subdued the land. You ˹believers˺ settled with the fleeting gains of this world, while Allah’s aim ˹for you˺ is the Hereafter. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 8:68

لَوْلَا كِتٰبٌ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ سَبَقَ لَمَسَّكُمْ فِیْمَاۤ اَخَذْتُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِیْمٌ ۟

Law-laa Kitaabum minal laahi sabaq̣a lamassakum fee-maaa ʹakhaẓtum ʻaẓaabun ʻaz̤̣eem.

Had it not been for a prior decree from Allah, you would have certainly been disciplined with a tremendous punishment for whatever ˹ransom˺ you have taken.

Verse 8:69

فَكُلُوْا مِمَّا غَنِمْتُمْ حَلٰلًا طَیِّبًا ۖؗ وَّاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟۠

Fakuloo mimmaa g̣animtum ḥalaalañ ṭayyibaa; watta q̣ullaah: ʹinnal laaha G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

Now enjoy what you have taken, for it is lawful and good. And be mindful of Allah. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Verse 8:70

یٰۤاَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ قُلْ لِّمَنْ فِیْۤ اَیْدِیْكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَسْرٰۤی ۙ اِنْ یَّعْلَمِ اللّٰهُ فِیْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ خَیْرًا یُّؤْتِكُمْ خَیْرًا مِّمَّاۤ اُخِذَ مِنْكُمْ وَیَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhan Nabiyyu q̣ul limañ feee ʹaydeekum minal ʹasraaa ʹiñy yaʻlamil laahu fee q̣uloobikum khayrañy yuʹtikum khayram mimmaaa ʹukhiẓa miñkum wa-yag̣fir lakum: wallaahu G̣afoorur Raḥeem.

O Prophet! Tell the captives in your custody, “If Allah finds goodness in your hearts, He will give you better than what has been taken from you, and forgive you. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Verse 8:71

وَاِنْ یُّرِیْدُوْا خِیَانَتَكَ فَقَدْ خَانُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَاَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ ۟

Wa-ʹiñy yureedoo khiyaanataka faq̣ad khaanul laaha miñ q̣ablu faʹamkana minhum. Wallaahu ʻAleemun Ḥakeem.

But if their intention is only to betray you ˹O Prophet˺, they sought to betray Allah before. But He gave you power over them. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

Verse 8:72

اِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجٰهَدُوْا بِاَمْوَالِهِمْ وَاَنْفُسِهِمْ فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰوَوْا وَّنَصَرُوْۤا اُولٰٓىِٕكَ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ بَعْضٍ ؕ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَلَمْ یُهَاجِرُوْا مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ وَّلَایَتِهِمْ مِّنْ شَیْءٍ حَتّٰی یُهَاجِرُوْا ۚ وَاِنِ اسْتَنْصَرُوْكُمْ فِی الدِّیْنِ فَعَلَیْكُمُ النَّصْرُ اِلَّا عَلٰی قَوْمٍ بَیْنَكُمْ وَبَیْنَهُمْ مِّیْثَاقٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ ۟

ʹInnal laẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-haajaroo wa-jaahadoo biʹamwaalihim wa-ʹañfusihim fee Sabeelil laahi wallaẓeena ʹaawaw Wanaṣarooo ʹulaaaʹika baʻḍuhum ʹawliyaaaʹu baʻḍ. Wallaẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-lam yuhaajiroo maa- lakum miñw walaayatihim miñ shayʹin ḥattaa yuhaajiroo; wa-ʹinis tañṣarookum fid deeni faʻalayku munnaṣru ʹillaa ʻalaa q̣awmim baynakum wa-baynahum Mees̤aaq̣. Wallaahu bimaa taʻmaloona Baṣeer.

Those who believed, emigrated, and strived with their wealth and lives in the cause of Allah, as well as those who gave them shelter and help—they are truly guardians of one another. As for those who believed but did not emigrate, you have no obligations to them until they emigrate. But if they seek your help ˹against persecution˺ in faith, it is your obligation to help them, except against people bound with you in a treaty. Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.

Verse 8:73

وَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ بَعْضٍ ؕ اِلَّا تَفْعَلُوْهُ تَكُنْ فِتْنَةٌ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَفَسَادٌ كَبِیْرٌ ۟ؕ

Wallaẓeena kafaroo baʻḍuhum ʹawliyaaaʹu baʻḍ: ʹillaa tafʻaloohu takuñ fitnatuñ fil ʹarḍi wa-fasaaduñ kabeer.

As for the disbelievers, they are guardians of one another. And unless you ˹believers˺ act likewise, there will be great oppression and corruption in the land.

Verse 8:74

وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجٰهَدُوْا فِیْ سَبِیْلِ اللّٰهِ وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰوَوْا وَّنَصَرُوْۤا اُولٰٓىِٕكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ حَقًّا ؕ لَهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَّرِزْقٌ كَرِیْمٌ ۟

Wallaẓeena ʹaamanoo wa-haajaroo wa-jaahadoo fee Sabeelil laahi wallaẓeena ʹaawaw Wanaṣarooo ʹulaaaʹika humul Muʹminoona ḥaq̣q̣aa: lahum mag̣firatuñw warizq̣uñ Kareem.

Those who believed, migrated, and struggled in the cause of Allah, and those who gave ˹them˺ shelter and help, they are the true believers. They will have forgiveness and an honourable provision.

Verse 8:75

وَالَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا مِنْ بَعْدُ وَهَاجَرُوْا وَجٰهَدُوْا مَعَكُمْ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ مِنْكُمْ ؕ وَاُولُوا الْاَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ اَوْلٰی بِبَعْضٍ فِیْ كِتٰبِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ ۟۠

Wallaẓeena ʹaamanoo mim baʻdu wa-haajaroo wa-jaahadoo maʻakum faʹulaaaʹika miñkum. Wa-ʹulul ʹarḥaami baʻḍuhum ʹawlaa bibaʻḍiñ fee Kitaabil laah. ʹInnal laaha bikulli shayʹin ʻAleem.

And those who later believed, migrated, and struggled alongside you, they are also with you. But only blood relatives are now entitled to inherit from one another, as ordained by Allah. Surely Allah has ˹full˺ knowledge of everything.
