Al-Anfal 8:4

Al-Anfal - The Spoils of War

الأنفال

أُولـٰئِكَ هُمُ المُؤمِنونَ حَقًّا ۚ لَهُم دَرَجاتٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِم وَمَغفِرَةٌ وَرِزقٌ كَريمٌ

These are the true believers. They have elevated ranks with their Lord, forgiveness, and a generous provision.

Verse 5

كَما أَخرَجَكَ رَبُّكَ مِن بَيتِكَ بِالحَقِّ وَإِنَّ فَريقًا مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ لَكارِهونَ

Just as your Lord brought you out of your home truthfully, despite the reluctance of some believers.

Verse 6

يُجادِلونَكَ فِي الحَقِّ بَعدَ ما تَبَيَّنَ كَأَنَّما يُساقونَ إِلَى المَوتِ وَهُم يَنظُرونَ

They argued with you about the truth after it had become clear, as if they were driven towards death while they looked on.

Verse 7

وَإِذ يَعِدُكُمُ اللَّهُ إِحدَى الطّائِفَتَينِ أَنَّها لَكُم وَتَوَدّونَ أَنَّ غَيرَ ذاتِ الشَّوكَةِ تَكونُ لَكُم وَيُريدُ اللَّهُ أَن يُحِقَّ الحَقَّ بِكَلِماتِهِ وَيَقطَعَ دابِرَ الكافِرينَ

God promised you that one of the two parties would be yours, but you wished the unarmed one would be yours. However, God wanted to establish the truth by His words, and to root out the unbelievers.

Verse 8

لِيُحِقَّ الحَقَّ وَيُبطِلَ الباطِلَ وَلَو كَرِهَ المُجرِمونَ

To confirm the truth and to nullify falsehood, even if the guilty hate it.

Verse 9

إِذ تَستَغيثونَ رَبَّكُم فَاستَجابَ لَكُم أَنّي مُمِدُّكُم بِأَلفٍ مِنَ المَلائِكَةِ مُردِفينَ

Recall when you implored your Lord for help, He responded, “I am sending you a thousand angels in ranks.”
