Surat Al Anfal: (1-2)

سورة الأنفال

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ 

{يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الأَنفَالِ قُلِ الأَنفَالُ لِلّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ فَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَأَصْلِحُواْ ذَاتَ بِيْنِكُمْ وَأَطِيعُواْ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ} [الأنفال: 1]

Surat Al Anfal

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

1- O Prophet, your Companions ask you about the spoils of war. Say to them: Their rulings belong to Allah (Glory be to Him) and His Messenger (peace be upon him), so the Prophet (peace be upon him) divide them as his Lord commands and no one should interfere in that. The Ayah was revealed in the Battle of Badr, so fear Allah and beware of disobeying His Orders and fix things between you by sweet words and nice response. Fear Allah regarding the spoils of war, give them to the Messenger of Allah voluntarily, and do not argue and quarrel with one another because of money, for it leads to disagreement and hatred. Furthermore, obey Allah and His Messenger in all his commands and prohibitions and in the spoils which he distribute to you if you were true believers and abide by the rulings of the religion.

{إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ اللّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُهُ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَاناً وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ} [الأنفال: 2]

2- When the name of Allah is mentioned to the true believers, who are sincere in their faith, their hearts tremble and become soft out of the glory of Allah, and when the Ayahs of His Glorious Book are recited to them, their faith and certainty increase. So, they would hasten to do what Allah has commanded, avoid His Prohibitions, and resort all their affairs to their Lord without invoking others, resorting to others, and hoping only for His Reward.
