Surah Al-Anfaal

وَإِنجَنَحُوا۟لِلسَّلْمِفَٱجْنَحْلَهَاوَتَوَكَّلْعَلَىٱللَّهِإِنَّهُۥهُوَٱلسَّمِيعُٱلْعَلِيمُ

But if they incline to peace, incline thou to it as well, and place thy trust in God: verily, He alone is all-hearing, all-knowing!

وَإِنيُرِيدُوٓا۟أَنيَخْدَعُوكَفَإِنَّحَسْبَكَٱللَّهُهُوَٱلَّذِىٓأَيَّدَكَبِنَصْرِهِۦوَبِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And should they seek but to deceive thee [by their show of peace] - behold, God is enough for thee! He it is who has strengthened thee with His succour, and by giving thee believing followers

وَأَلَّفَبَيْنَقُلُوبِهِمْلَوْأَنفَقْتَمَافِىٱلْأَرْضِجَمِيعًۭامَّآأَلَّفْتَبَيْنَقُلُوبِهِمْوَلَٰكِنَّٱللَّهَأَلَّفَبَيْنَهُمْإِنَّهُۥعَزِيزٌحَكِيمٌۭ

whose hearts He has brought together: [for,] if thou hadst expended all that is on earth, thou couldst not have brought their hearts together [by thyself]: but God did bring them together. Verily, He is almighty, wise.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلنَّبِىُّحَسْبُكَٱللَّهُوَمَنِٱتَّبَعَكَمِنَٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O Prophet! God is enough for thee and those of the believers who follow thee!

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلنَّبِىُّحَرِّضِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَعَلَىٱلْقِتَالِإِنيَكُنمِّنكُمْعِشْرُونَصَٰبِرُونَيَغْلِبُوا۟مِا۟ئَتَيْنِوَإِنيَكُنمِّنكُممِّا۟ئَةٌۭيَغْلِبُوٓا۟أَلْفًۭامِّنَٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟بِأَنَّهُمْقَوْمٌۭلَّايَفْقَهُونَ

O Prophet! Inspire the believers to conquer all fear of death when fighting, [so that,] if there be twenty of you who are patient in adversity, they might overcome two hundred; and [that,] if there be one hundred of you, they might overcome one thousand of those who are bent on denying the truth, because they are people who cannot grasp it.

ٱلْـَٰٔنَخَفَّفَٱللَّهُعَنكُمْوَعَلِمَأَنَّفِيكُمْضَعْفًۭافَإِنيَكُنمِّنكُممِّا۟ئَةٌۭصَابِرَةٌۭيَغْلِبُوا۟مِا۟ئَتَيْنِوَإِنيَكُنمِّنكُمْأَلْفٌۭيَغْلِبُوٓا۟أَلْفَيْنِبِإِذْنِٱللَّهِوَٱللَّهُمَعَٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

For the time being, [however,] God has lightened your burden. for He knows that you are weak: and so, if there be one hundred of you who are patient in adversity, they should [be able to]' overcome two hundred; and if there be one thousand of you, they should [be able to] overcome two thousand by God's leave: for God is with those who are patient in adversity.

مَاكَانَلِنَبِىٍّأَنيَكُونَلَهُۥٓأَسْرَىٰحَتَّىٰيُثْخِنَفِىٱلْأَرْضِتُرِيدُونَعَرَضَٱلدُّنْيَاوَٱللَّهُيُرِيدُٱلْءَاخِرَةَوَٱللَّهُعَزِيزٌحَكِيمٌۭ

IT DOES NOT behove a prophet to keep captives unless he has battled strenuously on earth. You may desire the fleeting gains of this world-but God desires [for you the good of] the life to come: and God is almighty, wise.

لَّوْلَاكِتَٰبٌۭمِّنَٱللَّهِسَبَقَلَمَسَّكُمْفِيمَآأَخَذْتُمْعَذَابٌعَظِيمٌۭ

Had it not been for a decree from God that had already gone forth, there would indeed have befallen you a tremendous chastisement on account of all [the captives] that you took.

فَكُلُوا۟مِمَّاغَنِمْتُمْحَلَٰلًۭاطَيِّبًۭاوَٱتَّقُوا۟ٱللَّهَإِنَّٱللَّهَغَفُورٌۭرَّحِيمٌۭ

Enjoy, then, all that is lawful and good among the things which you have gained in war, and remain conscious of God: verily, God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَاٱلنَّبِىُّقُللِّمَنفِىٓأَيْدِيكُممِّنَٱلْأَسْرَىٰٓإِنيَعْلَمِٱللَّهُفِىقُلُوبِكُمْخَيْرًۭايُؤْتِكُمْخَيْرًۭامِّمَّآأُخِذَمِنكُمْوَيَغْفِرْلَكُمْوَٱللَّهُغَفُورٌۭرَّحِيمٌۭ

[Hence,] O Prophet, say unto the captives who are in your hands: "If God finds any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than all that has been taken from you, and will forgive you your sins: for God is much-forgiving, a dispenser of grace."

وَإِنيُرِيدُوا۟خِيَانَتَكَفَقَدْخَانُوا۟ٱللَّهَمِنقَبْلُفَأَمْكَنَمِنْهُمْوَٱللَّهُعَلِيمٌحَكِيمٌ

And should they but seek to play false with thee -well, they were false to God [Himself] ere this: but He gave [the believers] mastery over them. And God is all-knowing, wise.

إِنَّٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَهَاجَرُوا۟وَجَٰهَدُوا۟بِأَمْوَٰلِهِمْوَأَنفُسِهِمْفِىسَبِيلِٱللَّهِوَٱلَّذِينَءَاوَوا۟وَّنَصَرُوٓا۟أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَبَعْضُهُمْأَوْلِيَآءُبَعْضٍۢوَٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَلَمْيُهَاجِرُوا۟مَالَكُممِّنوَلَٰيَتِهِممِّنشَىْءٍحَتَّىٰيُهَاجِرُوا۟وَإِنِٱسْتَنصَرُوكُمْفِىٱلدِّينِفَعَلَيْكُمُٱلنَّصْرُإِلَّاعَلَىٰقَوْمٍۭبَيْنَكُمْوَبَيْنَهُممِّيثَٰقٌۭوَٱللَّهُبِمَاتَعْمَلُونَبَصِيرٌۭ

BEHOLD, as for those who have attained to faith, and who have forsaken the domain of evil and are striving hard, with their possessions and their lives, in God's cause, as well as those who shelter and succour [them] - these are [truly] the friends and protectors of one another. But as for those who have come to believe without having migrated [to your country] - you are in no wise responsible for their protection until such a time as they migrate [to you]. Yet, if they ask you for succour against religious persecution, it is your duty to give [them] this succour-except against a people between whom and yourselves there is a covenant: for God sees all that you do.

وَٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟بَعْضُهُمْأَوْلِيَآءُبَعْضٍإِلَّاتَفْعَلُوهُتَكُنفِتْنَةٌۭفِىٱلْأَرْضِوَفَسَادٌۭكَبِيرٌۭ

With all this, [remember that] those who are bent on denying the truth are allies of one another; and unless you act likewise [among yourselves], oppression will reign on earth, and great corruption.

وَٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَهَاجَرُوا۟وَجَٰهَدُوا۟فِىسَبِيلِٱللَّهِوَٱلَّذِينَءَاوَوا۟وَّنَصَرُوٓا۟أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَهُمُٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَحَقًّۭالَّهُممَّغْفِرَةٌۭوَرِزْقٌۭكَرِيمٌۭ

And they who have attained to faith, and who have forsaken the domain of evil and are striving hard in God's cause, as well as those who shelter and succour [them]-it is they, they who are truly believers! Forgiveness of sins awaits them, and a most excellent sustenance.

وَٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟مِنۢبَعْدُوَهَاجَرُوا۟وَجَٰهَدُوا۟مَعَكُمْفَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَمِنكُمْوَأُو۟لُوا۟ٱلْأَرْحَامِبَعْضُهُمْأَوْلَىٰبِبَعْضٍۢفِىكِتَٰبِٱللَّهِإِنَّٱللَّهَبِكُلِّشَىْءٍعَلِيمٌۢ

And as for those who henceforth come to believe, and who forsake the domain of evil and strive hard [in God's cause] together with you - these [too] shall belong to you; and they who are [thus] closely related have the highest claim on one another in [accordance with] God's decree. Verily, God has full knowledge of everything.
