Yas'alūnaka `Ani Al-'Anfāl Quli Al-'Anfāli Lillahi Wa Ar-Rasūli Fa Attaqū Al-Laha Wa 'Aşliĥū Dhāta Baynikum Wa 'Aţī`ū Al-Laha Wa Rasūlahu 'In Kuntum Mu'uminīna They ask you (O Muhammad SAW) about the spoils of war. Say: "The spoils are for Allāh and the Messenger." So fear Allāh and adjust all matters of difference among you, and obey Allāh and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), if you are believers. (Al-Anfal 8:1)
'Innamā Al-Mu'uminūna Al-Ladhīna 'Idhā Dhukira Al-Lahu Wajilat Qulūbuhum Wa 'Idhā Tuliyat `Alayhim 'Āyātuhu Zādat/hum 'Īmānāan Wa `Alá Rabbihim Yatawakkalūna The believers are only those who, when Allāh is mentioned, feel a fear in their hearts and when His Verses (this Qur'ān) are recited unto them, they (i.e. the Verses) increase their Faith; and they put their trust in their Lord (Alone); (Al-Anfal 8:2)
Al-Ladhīna Yuqīmūna Aş-Şalāata Wa Mimmā Razaqnāhum Yunfiqūna Who perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat­as­Salāt) and spend out of that We have provided them. (Al-Anfal 8:3)
'Ūlā'ika Humu Al-Mu'uminūna Ĥaqqāan Lahum Darajātun `Inda Rabbihim Wa Maghfiratun Wa Rizqun Karīmun It is they who are the believers in truth. For them are grades of dignity with their Lord, and Forgiveness and a generous provision (Paradise). (Al-Anfal 8:4)
Kamā 'Akhrajaka Rabbuka Min Baytika Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa 'Inna Farīqāan Mina Al-Mu'uminīna Lakārihūna As your Lord caused you (O Muhammad SAW) to go out from your home with the truth, and verily, a party among the believers disliked it; (Al-Anfal 8:5)
Yujādilūnaka Fī Al-Ĥaqqi Ba`damā Tabayyana Ka'annamā Yusāqūna 'Ilá Al-Mawti Wa Hum Yanžurūna Disputing with you concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death, while they were looking (at it). (Al-Anfal 8:6)
Wa 'Idh Ya`idukumu Al-Lahu 'Iĥdá Aţā'ifatayni 'Annahā Lakum Wa Tawaddūna 'Anna Ghayra Dhāti Ash-Shawkati Takūnu Lakum Wa Yurīdu Al-Lahu 'An Yuĥiqqa Al-Ĥaqqa Bikalimātihi Wa Yaqţa`a Dābira Al-Kāfirīna And (remember) when Allāh promised you (Muslims) one of the two parties (of the enemy i.e. either the army or the caravan) that it should be yours, you wished that the one not armed (the caravan) should be yours, but Allāh willed to justify the truth by His Words and to cut off the roots of the disbelievers (i.e. in the battle of Badr). (Al-Anfal 8:7)
Liyuĥiqqa Al-Ĥaqqa Wa Yubţila Al-Bāţila Wa Law Kariha Al-Mujrimūna That He might cause the truth to triumph and bring falsehood to nothing, even though the Mujrimûn (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.) hate it. (Al-Anfal 8:8)
'Idh Tastaghīthūna Rabbakum Fāstajāba Lakum 'Annī Mumiddukum Bi'alfin Mina Al-Malā'ikati Murdifīna (Remember) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): "I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other (following one another) in succession." (Al-Anfal 8:9)
Wa Mā Ja`alahu Al-Lahu 'Illā Bushrá Wa Litaţma'inna Bihi Qulūbukum Wa Mā An-Naşru 'Illā Min `Indi Al-Lahi 'Inna Al-Laha `Azīzun Ĥakīmun Allāh made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allāh. Verily, Allāh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (Al-Anfal 8:10)
'Idh Yughashshīkumu An-Nu`āsa 'Amanatan Minhu Wa Yunazzilu `Alaykum Mina As-Samā'i Mā'an Liyuţahhirakum Bihi Wa Yudh/hiba `Ankum Rijza Ash-Shayţāni Wa Liyarbiţa `Alá Qulūbikum Wa Yuthabbita Bihi Al-'Aqdāma (Remember) when He covered you with a slumber as a security from Him, and He caused water (rain) to descend on you from the sky, to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz (whispering, evil-suggestions, etc.) of Shaitān (Satan), and to strengthen your hearts, and make your feet firm thereby. (Al-Anfal 8:11)

I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes." (Al-Anfal 8:12)
Dhālika Bi'annahum Shāqqū Al-Laha Wa Rasūlahu Wa Man Yushāqiqi Al-Laha Wa Rasūlahu Fa'inna Al-Laha Shadīdu Al-`Iqābi This is because they defied and disobeyed Allāh and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allāh and His Messenger, then verily, Allāh is Severe in punishment. (Al-Anfal 8:13)
Dhālikum Fadhūqūhu Wa 'Anna Lilkāfirīna `Adhāba An-Nāri This is the torment, so taste it, and surely for the disbelievers is the torment of the Fire. (Al-Anfal 8:14)
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū 'Idhā Laqītumu Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Zaĥfāan Falā Tuwallūhumu Al-'Adbāra O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve, in a battle-field, never turn your backs to them. (Al-Anfal 8:15)

And his abode is Hell, and worst indeed is that destination! (Al-Anfal 8:16)

Dhālikum Wa 'Anna Al-Laha Mūhinu Kaydi Al-Kāfirīna This (is the fact) and surely, Allāh weakens the deceitful plots of the disbelievers. (Al-Anfal 8:18)

(Al-Anfal 8:19)
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū 'Aţī`ū Al-Laha Wa Rasūlahu Wa Lā Tawallaw `Anhu Wa 'Antum Tasma`ūna O you who believe! Obey Allāh and His Messenger, and turn not away from him (i.e. Messenger Muhammad SAW) while you are hearing. (Al-Anfal 8:20)

'Inna Sharra Ad-Dawābbi `Inda Al-Lahi Aş-Şummu Al-Bukmu Al-Ladhīna Lā Ya`qilūna Verily! The worst of (moving) living creatures with Allāh are the deaf and the dumb, those who understand not (i.e. the disbelievers). (Al-Anfal 8:22)
Wa Law `Alima Al-Lahu Fīhim Khayrāan La'asma`ahum Wa Law 'Asma`ahum Latawallaw Wa Hum Mu`rūna Had Allāh known of any good in them, He would indeed have made them listen, and even if He had made them listen, they would but have turned away, averse (to the truth). (Al-Anfal 8:23)

Answer Allāh (by obeying Him) and (His) Messenger when he (SAW) calls you[] to that which will give you life,[] and know that Allāh comes in between a person and his heart (i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything). And verily to Him you shall (all) be gathered. (Al-Anfal 8:24)
Wa Attaqū Fitnatan Lā Tuşībanna Al-Ladhīna Žalamū Minkum Khāşşatan Wa A`lamū 'Anna Al-Laha Shadīdu Al-`Iqābi And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial, etc.) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong (but it may afflict all the good and the bad people), and know that Allāh is Severe in punishment. (Al-Anfal 8:25)
Wa Adhkurū 'Idh 'Antum Qalīlun Mustađ`afūna Fī Al-'Arđi Takhāfūna 'An Yatakhaţţafakumu An-Nāsu Fa'āwākum Wa 'Ayyadakum Binaşrihi Wa Razaqakum Mina Aţ-Ţayyibāti La`allakum Tashkurūna And remember when you were few and were reckoned weak in the land, and were afraid that men might kidnap you, but He provided a safe place for you, strengthened you with His Help, and provided you with good things so that you might be grateful. (Al-Anfal 8:26)
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Lā Takhūnū Al-Laha Wa Ar-Rasūla Wa Takhūnū 'Amānātikum Wa 'Antum Ta`lamūna O you who believe! Betray not Allāh and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amānāt (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allāh has ordained for you).[] (Al-Anfal 8:27)
Wa A`lamū 'Annamā 'Amwālukum Wa 'Awlādukum Fitnatun Wa 'Anna Al-Laha `Indahu 'Ajrun `Ažīmun And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allāh is a mighty reward. (Al-Anfal 8:28)

If you obey and fear Allāh, He will grant you Furqān a criterion [(to judge between right and wrong), or (Makhraj, i.e. making a way for you to get out from every difficulty)], and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allāh is the Owner of the Great Bounty. (Al-Anfal 8:29)
Wa 'Idh Yamkuru Bika Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Liyuthbitūka 'Aw Yaqtulūka 'Aw Yukhrijūka Wa Yamkurūna Wa Yamkuru Al-Lahu Wa Allāhu Khayru Al-Mākirīna And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you (O Muhammad SAW) to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out (from your home, i.e. Makkah); they were plotting and Allāh too was planning, and Allāh is the Best of the planners. (Al-Anfal 8:30)
Wa 'Idhā Tutlá `Alayhim 'Āyātunā Qālū Qad Sami`nā Law Nashā'u Laqulnā Mithla Hādhā 'In Hādhā 'Illā 'Asāţīru Al-'Awwalīna And when Our Verses (of the Qur'ān) are recited to them, they say: "We have heard this (the Qur'ān); if we wish we can say the like of this. This is nothing but the tales of the ancients." (Al-Anfal 8:31)
Wa 'Idh Qālū Al-Lahumma 'In Kāna Hādhā Huwa Al-Ĥaqqa Min `Indika Fa'amţir `Alaynā Ĥijāratan Mina As-Samā'i 'Aw A'tinā Bi`adhābin 'Alīmin And (remember) when they said: "O Allāh! If this (the Qur'ān) is indeed the truth (revealed) from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring on us a painful torment." (Al-Anfal 8:32)
Wa Mā Kāna Al-Lahu Liyu`adhdhibahum Wa 'Anta Fīhim Wa Mā Kāna Al-Lahu Mu`adhdhibahum Wa Hum Yastaghfirūna And Allāh would not punish them while you (Muhammad SAW) are amongst them, nor will He punish them while they seek (Allāh's) Forgiveness. (Al-Anfal 8:33)
Wa Mā Lahum 'Allā Yu`adhdhibahumu Al-Lahu Wa Hum Yaşuddūna `Ani Al-Masjidi Al-Ĥarāmi Wa Mā Kānū 'Awliyā'ahu 'In 'Awliyā'uuhu 'Illā Al-Muttaqūna Wa Lakinna 'Aktharahum Lā Ya`lamūna And why should not Allāh punish them while they stop (men) from Al-Masjid-al-Harām, and they are not its guardians? None can be its guardian except Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2), but most of them know not. (Al-Anfal 8:34)
Wa Mā Kāna Şalātuhum `Inda Al-Bayti 'Illā Mukā'an Wa Taşdiyatan Fadhūqū Al-`Adhāba Bimā Kuntum Takfurūna Their Salāt (prayer) at the House (of Allāh, i.e. the Ka'bah at Makkah) was nothing but whistling and clapping of hands. Therefore taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve. (Al-Anfal 8:35)
'Inna Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Yunfiqūna 'Amwālahum Liyaşuddū `An Sabīli Al-Lahi Fasayunfiqūnahā Thumma Takūnu `Alayhim Ĥasratan Thumma Yughlabūna Wa Al-Ladhīna Kafarū 'Ilá Jahannama Yuĥsharūna Verily, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to hinder (men) from the Path of Allāh, and so will they continue to spend it; but in the end it will become an anguish for them. Then they will be overcomed. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto Hell. (Al-Anfal 8:36)

Those! it is they who are the losers. (Al-Anfal 8:37)
Qul Lilladhīna Kafarū 'In Yantahū Yughfar Lahum Mā Qad Salafa Wa 'In Ya`ūdū Faqad Mađat Sunnatu Al-'Awwalīna Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven. But if they return (thereto), then the examples of those (punished) before them have already preceded (as a warning). (Al-Anfal 8:38)
Wa Qātilūhum Ĥattá Lā Takūna Fitnatun Wa Yakūna Ad-Dīnu Kulluhu Lillahi Fa'ini Antahaw Fa'inna Al-Laha Bimā Ya`malūna Başīrun And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allāh) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allāh Alone [in the whole of the world[]]. But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allāh), then certainly, Allāh is All-Seer of what they do. (Al-Anfal 8:39)
Wa 'In Tawallaw Fā`lamū 'Anna Al-Laha Mawlākum Ni`ma Al-Mawlá Wa Ni`ma An-Naşīru And if they turn away, then know that Allāh is your Maulā (Patron, Lord, Protector and Supporter, etc.), (what) an Excellent Maulā, and (what) an Excellent Helper! (Al-Anfal 8:40)

(Al-Anfal 8:41)

Even if you had made a mutual appointment to meet, you would certainly have failed in the appointment, but (you met) that Allāh might accomplish a matter already ordained (in His Knowledge); so that those who were to be destroyed (for their rejecting the Faith) might be destroyed after a clear evidence, and those who were to live (i.e. believers) might live after a clear evidence. And surely, Allāh is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (Al-Anfal 8:42)

But Allāh saved (you). Certainly, He is the All-Knower of what is in the breasts. (Al-Anfal 8:43)

(Al-Anfal 8:44)
Yā 'Ayyuhā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū 'Idhā Laqītum Fi'atanthbutū Wa Adhkurū Al-Laha Kathīrāan La`allakum Tufliĥūna O you who believe!

Surely, Allāh is with those who are As-Sābirin (the patient ones, etc.). (Al-Anfal 8:46)

But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he ran away and said "Verily, I have nothing to do with you. Verily! I see what you see not. Verily! I fear Allāh for Allāh is Severe in punishment." (Al-Anfal 8:48)

Verily, Allāh is All-Strong, Severe in punishment. (Al-Anfal 8:52)

They belied the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), of their Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins, and We drowned the people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh) for they were all Zālimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.). (Al-Anfal 8:54)
'Inna Sharra Ad-Dawābbi `Inda Al-Lahi Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Fahum Lā Yu'uminūna Verily, The worst of moving (living) creatures before Allāh are those who disbelieve, - so they shall not believe. (Al-Anfal 8:55)

If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have united their hearts, but Allāh has united them. Certainly He is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (Al-Anfal 8:63)
Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nabīyu Ĥasbuka Al-Lahu Wa Mani Attaba`aka Mina Al-Mu'uminīna O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Allāh is Sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you. (Al-Anfal 8:64)
Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nabīyu Ĥarriđi Al-Mu'uminīna `Alá Al-Qitāli 'In Yakun Minkum `Ishrūna Şābirūna Yaghlibū Miā'atayni Wa 'In Yakun Minkum Miā'atun Yaghlibū 'Alfāan Mina Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Bi'annahum Qawmun Lā Yafqahūna O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand. (Al-Anfal 8:65)
Al-'Āna Khaffafa Al-Lahu `Ankum Wa `Alima 'Anna Fīkum Đa`fāan Fa'in Yakun Minkum Miā'atun Şābiratun Yaghlibū Miā'atayni Wa 'In Yakun Minkum 'Alfun Yaghlibū 'Alfayni Bi'idhni Al-Lahi Wa Allāhu Ma`a Aş-Şābirīna Now Allāh has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you a hundred steadfast persons, they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they shall overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allāh. And Allāh is with As-Sābirin (the patient ones, etc.). (Al-Anfal 8:66)

You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allāh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allāh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. (Al-Anfal 8:67)
Lawlā Kitābun Mina Al-Lahi Sabaqa Lamassakum Fīmā 'Akhadhtum `Adhābun `Ažīmun Were it not a previous ordainment from Allāh, a severe torment would have touched you for what you took. (Al-Anfal 8:68)

Say to the captives that are in your hands: "If Allāh knows any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you, and Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Al-Anfal 8:70)
Wa 'In Yurīdū Khiyānataka Faqad Khānū Al-Laha Min Qablu Fa'amkana Minhum Wa Allāhu `Alīmun Ĥakīmun But if they intend to betray you (O Muhammad SAW), they have already betrayed Allāh before. So He gave (you) power over them. And Allāh is All-Knower, All-Wise. (Al-Anfal 8:71)

And as to those who believed but did not emigrate (to you O Muhammad SAW), you owe no duty of protection to them until they emigrate, but if they seek your help in religion, it is your duty to help them except against a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, and Allāh is the All-Seer of what you do. (Al-Anfal 8:72)
Wa Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Ba`đuhum 'Awliyā'u Ba`đin 'Illā Taf`alūhu Takun Fitnatun Al-'Arđi Wa Fasādun Kabīrun And those who disbelieve are allies to one another, (and) if you (Muslims of the whole world collectively) do not do so (i.e. become allies, as one united block with one Khalifah - chief Muslim ruler for the whole Muslim world to make victorious Allāh's Religion of Islāmic Monotheism), there will be Fitnah (wars, battles, polytheism, etc.) and oppression on earth, and a great mischief and corruption (appearance of polytheism). (Al-Anfal 8:73)
Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa Hājarū Wa Jāhadū Fī Sabīli Al-Lahi Wa Al-Ladhīna 'Āwaw Wa Naşarū 'Ūlā'ika Humu Al-Mu'uminūna Ĥaqqāan Lahum Maghfiratun Wa Rizqun Karīmun And those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard in the Cause of Allāh (Al-Jihād), as well as those who gave (them) asylum and aid; - these are the believers in truth, for them is forgiveness and Rizqun Karīm (a generous provision i.e. Paradise). (Al-Anfal 8:74)

But kindred by blood are nearer to one another regarding inheritance in the decree ordained by Allāh. Verily, Allāh is the All-Knower of everything. (Al-Anfal 8:75)
