8. SURAH AL-ANFAAL (THE
SPOILS OF WAR)
(This Surah is Madani, containing
75 verses and 10 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence with,
the Most Gracious, the Most
Merciful.
8:1. O Beloved, they ask you
concerning the spoils of war; say
you, ‘Allah and the Messenger
are the owners of the spoils of
war. So, fear Allah and keep
matters amended amongst
yourselves, and obey Allah and
the Messenger, if you believe.’
8:2. Only they are believers whose
hearts fear when Allah is
remembered; and when His
verses are recited upon them, their
faith increases; and who trust only
in their Lord.
8:3. Those who keep Salah
established, and spend some in
Our Path from what We have
provided for them.
8:4. Only these are true
Muslims; for them are ranks
with their Lord, and is
forgiveness and honourable
sustenance.
8:5. O Beloved, the way your
Lord caused you to come forth
from your home with the truth
(for the battle of Badr), and a
group of Muslims were verily
unhappy over it (due to a
shortage of men and weapons).
8:6. Disputing with you in the true
matter after it had been made
clear, as if they were being driven
towards death, which they could
see in front of their very eyes.
8:7. And remember when Allah
promised you that one of the two
groups (of enemies) is for you,
and you wished to confront the
one which posed no danger (the
group with no weapons), and
Allah willed to prove the truth as
the truth with His Words, and to
cut the root of the disbelievers.
8:8. In order that He may attest
the truth as the truth and
falsehood as falsehood, even if
the culprits dislike it.
8:9. When you (O Beloved)
were supplicating for help from
your Lord, He henceforth
answered your prayers; that ‘I
am about to give you assistance
with a thousand angels, one
following the other.’
8:10. And Allah did this but for
your happiness, and for your
hearts to gain contentment; and
there is no help except from
Allah; indeed, Allah is
Dominant, All-Wise.
8:11. (Remember) when He
caused drowsiness to overcome
you; it was serenity from Him,
and sent down water from the
sky that He may purify you
with it, and to remove the
impurity of Satan from you,
and to give courage to your
hearts and firmly establishing
your feet with it.
8:12. And when, O Beloved,
your Lord was revealing to the
angels; that ‘I am with you; so,
keep the believers standing
firm; I will soon instil terror
into the hearts of the
disbelievers; so, strike above
the necks of the disbelievers
and hit them on each and every
joint.
8:13. This is because they
opposed Allah and His
Messenger; and whoever
opposes Allah and His
Messenger, Allah’s punishment
is indeed henceforth severe.
8:14. Taste this (punishment)
for now (i.e. imprisonment and
being killed in Badr), and along
with it for the disbelievers is
the punishment of Fire (in the
Hereafter).
8:15. O believers! When you
confront an army of disbelievers,
do not turn your backs to them.
8:16. And on that day whoever
turns his back to them except for
a battle tactic or to join one’s
own troop, he has turned
towards Allah’s wrath, and his
abode is Hell; and what an evil
place to return to.
8:17. So, you did not kill them,
but Allah killed them. And O
Beloved, that sand which you
threw, you did not throw;
rather, it was Allah Who threw,
in order that He may grant the
believers a better reward from
Himself; indeed, Allah is All-
Hearing, All-Knowing.
8:18. Take this for now (i.e.
victory and spoils of war), and
alongside this is that Allah is
going to weaken the plot of the
disbelievers.
8:19. O disbelievers! If you seek
a judgement, this judgement has
therefore come to you; and if
you desist (from fighting), it is
therefore better for you; and if
you repeat the mischief (by
waging war again), We will
punish you again, and your mob
will not benefit you; no matter
how large it may be, and with
that is this (i.e. something more);
that, Allah is with the Muslims.
8:20. O believers! Obey Allah and
His Messenger, and do not turn
away from him (the Messenger)
8:21. And do not be like those
who said, ‘We have listened,’
whereas, they do not listen.
8:22. Indeed, the worst animals
in the sight of Allah are those
(ie. the disbelievers) who are
deaf, dumb, who do not have
intellect.
8:23. And if Allah had found any
good in them, He would have
made them to listen; and if He
had made them to listen, even
then, they would have turned
away their faces and gone back.
8:24. O believers! Present
yourselves upon the call of Allah
and His Messenger when the
Messenger calls you for such a
thing (e.g. faith, or the Qur’aan,
or Jihaad, or martyrdom, etc.)
which will give you life. And
know that the command of
Allah comes between man and
his heart’s intentions, and that
you are to return towards Him.
8:25. And fear the Fitnah (affliction
and. trial) which will not only
amongst you (but it will also
reach those who willingly did not
stop oppression), and know that
the punishment of Allah is severe.
8:26. And remember when you
were only a few; suppressed in
the land, (and) feared that
people may snatch you away.
He henceforth gave you refuge
and strengthened you with His
help, and gave you pure things
as sustenance; that you may be
thankful.
8:27. O believers! Do not be
dishonest to Allah and the
Messenger, nor purposefully be
dishonest in your trusts.
8:28. And know that your
wealth and your children are
all a test, and with Allah is an
immense reward.
8:29. O believers! If you will fear
Allah, He will henceforth bestow
upon you that (criterion) with
which you may separate the
truth from falsehood, and He
will remove your misdeeds and
will forgive you; and Allah is the
Utmost Bounteous.
8:30. And remember, O
Beloved, when the disbelievers
were scheming against you to
either imprison you, or to
assassinate you, or to banish
you; and they were scheming
with their technique, and Allah
was making His secret plan;
and the secret plan of Allah is
the best.
8:31. And when Our verses are
recited upon them; so, they say,
‘Yes, we have heard; if we
wanted, we could also utter
something like this; these are
nothing but stories of people of
the past.’
8:32. And when they said; that
‘O Allah! If this (very Qur’aan)
really is the truth from You;
therefore, shower upon us a
rain of stones from the sky, or
bring upon us some painful
punishment.
8:33. And it is not befitting to
Allah to punish them whilst
you, O Beloved, are in their
midst, and Allah is not going to
punish them whilst they are
seeking forgiveness.
8:34, And what (excuse) is with
them, that Allah should not
punish them; they are
preventing (others) from the
Sacred Mosque and they are
not worthy (of being the
custodians) of it. Only the pious
are its (befitting) custodians,
but most of them do not have
knowledge.
8:35. And their prayer near the
Ka’bah is nothing but whistling
and clapping; ‘Hence, now taste
the punishment; the result of
your disbelief.’
8:36. Indeed, the disbelievers
spend their wealth in order to
prevent (people) from the path
of Allah. So, they will spend it
now, and then have regret over
it; they will then be defeated.
And the disbelievers will be
gathered towards Hell.
8:37. In order that Allah may
separate the impure from the
pure, and placing the impure
ones on top of one another;
making a heap to throw them
all into Hell; it is they who face
loss.
8:38. Say you (O Beloved) to the
disbelievers that if they desist,
what has passed will be
forgiven. And if they then do
the same (i.e. fight against the
believers); so, the tradition (of
punishment) of the former
people has already passed.
8:39. And fight them until no
mischief remains and the entire
religion becomes of Allah only;
if they then desist, Allah is
henceforth seeing their work.
8:40. And if they turn away, so,
know that Allah is your Master;
so, what an Excellent Master
and what an Excellent Helper.
8:41. And know that whatever
spoils of war you take, a fifth of
that solely belongs to Allah and
His Messenger, and to relatives,
and orphans, and the needy,
and travellers; if you have
believed in Allah and in that
what We have sent down upon
Our (chosen) bondsman on the
decisive day; the day when the
two armies met. And Allah is
Able to do all things.
may complete the work which
must be done (to help the Muslims
and destroy the disbelievers); that
he who perishes may perish with
proof, mid Te viho ties mer’ lie
with proof; and Allah is indeed
definitely All-Hearing, All-
Knowing.
8:43. O Beloved, (remember)
when Allah was showing the
disbelievers in your dream to
be a few. And O Muslims, had
He shown them to you as an
enormous (army), you would
have definitely lost courage and
disputed over the matter, but
Allah rescued (you); indeed, He
knows what is within the
hearts.
8:44. And (remember O Muslims)
when at the time of fighting, He
made the disbelievers seem few
to you, and you to be few in their
sight; in order that Allah may
complete the work that must be
done. And towards Allah is the
return of all matters.
8:45. O believers, when you
encounter an army, stand firm
and remember Allah abundantly,
in order that you may achieve
(your) goals.
8:46. And obey Allah and His
Messenger, and do not dispute
with one another, that you will
show cowardliness again and
your air (ie. strength) will depart,
and. be patient; indeed, Allah is
with those who are patient.
8:47. And do not be like those
who came out from their
houses arrogantly, and for the
purpose of showing off to
people, and would prevent
(people) from the path of Allah;
and all their actions are under
the control of Allah.
8:48. And (remember) when
Satan made their deeds seem
good in their sight and said, ‘This
day, no one shall overpower you,
and you are under my
protection.’ So, when the two
armies came face to face, he
turned back on his heels running
away and said, ‘I am separate
from. you, J see what you do not
see, I fear Allah.’ And the
punishment from Allah is severe.
8:49. When the hypocrites and
those in whose hearts is a
disease of disbelief and
jealousy) were saying that
‘These Muslims are arrogant of
their religion.’ And whosoever
relies upon Allah; so, Allah is
indeed Overpowering, All-Wise.
8:50. And if you see the angels
when they remove the souls of
the disbelievers; (they are) hitting
them on their faces and their
backs, and (they say), ‘Taste the
punishment of the Fire.’
8:51. ‘This is the recompense of
what your own hands have sent
ahead, and Allah does not
8:52. (Their way is) like the way
of the people of Fir’awn and
those before them; they denied
the verses of Allah, Allah
henceforth seized them on
account of their sins; indeed,
Allah is Most Powerful, Severe
in giving punishment.
8:53. This is because Allah does
not change the favour He has
bestowed upon any people
until they change themselves,
and Allah indeed is All-
Hearing, All-Knowing.
8:54. Like the way of the people
of Fir’awn and those before them;
they belied the verses of their
Lord; so, We destroyed them on
account of their sins and We
drowned the people of Fir’awn,
and they were all unjust.
8:55. Indeed, the worst animals
according to Allah are those
(people) who disbelieve and do
not accept faith.
8:56. (They are) those with
whom you made a pact, they
then break their covenant each
time and they do not fear.
8:57. So, if you find them in battle,
kill them therefore in such a
manner that those
behind them should be chased
away, in the hope that they may
learn a lesson.
8:58. And if you fear deceit from
any nation, then throw back their
treaty towards them (as to be) on
equal terms; Allah indeed does
not like the deceitful.
8:59. And the disbelievers
should never remain in this
arrogant thinking that they have
gone out of hand; indeed, they
can never overpower (Allah).
8:60. And keep ready for them the
some others whom you know not,
Allah knows them. And whatever
you will spend in the path of
Allah will be repaid to you in full
and you will not remain at loss in
8:61. And if they incline towards
reconciliation, you too incline
towards it, and place trust in
Allah; indeed, only He is the
All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
8:62. And if they wish to deceive
you (O Beloved), Allah is indeed
then. Sufficient for you; it is He
Who has given you strength of
His help and (also) of Muslims.
8:63. And (Allah) has placed
affection in their hearts (of the
tribes of Aws and Khazraj); if
you had spent all that is in the
earth, you could not have placed
affection in their hearts; but Allah
united their hearts; indeed, only
He is Overpowering, All-Wise.
8:64. O Conveyer of the unseen
news (ie. Prophet)! Allah is
Sufficient for you and for all these
Muslims who followed you.
8:65. O Conveyer of the unseen
news (ie. Prophet)! Motivate the
believers to wage war (against the
infidels involved in treachery); if
there are twenty patient ones
amongst you, they will overpower
two hundred; and if there are a
hundred amongst you, they will
therefore overpower a thousand
disbelievers; this is because that
they (the disbelievers) have no
understanding.
8:66. So, Allah has now
lightened the burden from you
and He knows that you are
weak; if there are hence a
hundred patient ones amongst
you, they shall hence overcome
two hundred (this is the latter
command); and if there are a
thousand amongst you, they
shall overcome two thousand
by the command of Allah; and
Allah is with the patient ones.
8:67. It is not befitting to any
Prophet to capture alive the
disbelievers (from war, and free
them with ransom), until he
caused their bloodshed profusely
in the land; you people desire the
wealth of this world, and Allah
wills (for you) the Hereafter. And
Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
8:68. Had Allah not decreed a
matter already, a_ terrible
punishment would have
henceforth come upon you, O
Muslims, due to the ransom
you took (in the battle of Badr)
from the disbelievers.
8:69. Eat therefore what you
have received as spoils of war;
lawful, pure. And keep fearing
Allah; indeed, Allah is Most
Forgiving, Ever Merciful.
8:70. O Conveyor of the unseen
news (ie. Prophet)! Say to the
prisoners in your hand, ‘If Allah
finds goodness in your hearts, He
will henceforth grant you better
than what has been taken from
you and will forgive you; and
Allah is Most Forgiving, Ever
Merciful.
8:71. And O Beloved, if they
wish to deceive you, they have
already been treacherous to
Allah, because of which He has
given so many (disbelievers) in
your control; and Allah is All-
Knowing, Ever Wise.
8:72. Indeed, those who
believed and left their homes
and households (to migrate) for
Allah, and fought with their
wealth and their lives in the
path of Allah, and those who
gave shelter and provided
assistance; they are the heirs of
one another. And those who
believed and did not migrate;
you are not deserving of their
inheritance until they do not
migrate. And if they seek help
from you in the matter of
teligion, it is therefore
necessary upon you to provide
help except (if they ask help)
against such a nation between
whom and you there is a
(peace) treaty; and Allah is
observing your actions.
8:73. And the disbelievers are
the heirs of one another, if you
(O believers) will not do so (i.e.
cooperate with each other),
there will hence be turmoil in
the land and huge disorder.
8:74. And those who believed,
and migrated and fought in the
path of Allah, and those who
gave shelter and provided help;
it is they who are the true
believers; for them is pardon
and honourable sustenance.
8:75. And those who believed
later on and migrated and
fought along with you; they too
are from amongst you. And
family | members (blood
relations) are nearer (in
inheritance) to one another in
the Book of Allah. Indeed,
Allah knows everything.
