They ask you concerning the spoils of war? Tell them: 'The spoils of war belong to Allah and the Messenger. So fear Allah, and set things right between you, and obey Allah and His Messenger if you are true believers.

A.Maududi 8:1

2

The true believers are those who, when Allah's name is mentioned, their hearts quake, and when His verses are recited to them their faith grows, and who put their trust in their Lord;

A.Maududi 8:2

3

who establish Prayer and spend out of what We have provided them.

A.Maududi 8:3

4

Such people are indeed true believers. They have high ranks with their Lord, and forgiveness for their sins and an honourable sustenance.

A.Maududi 8:4

5

(Now with regard to the spoils the same situation exists as when) your Lord brought you forth from your home in a righteous cause while a party among the believers were much averse to it.

A.Maududi 8:5

6

They disputed with you about the truth after that had become evident, as if they were being driven to death with their eyes wide open.

A.Maududi 8:6

7

And recall when Allah promised you that one of the two hosts would fall to you, and you wished that the one without arms should fall into your hands. But Allah sought to prove by His words the truth to be true and to annihilate the unbelievers to the last remnant

A.Maududi 8:7

8

that He might prove the truth to be true and the false to be false, however averse the evil-doers might be to it.

A.Maududi 8:8

9

And recall when you implored your Lord for help and He responded to you: 'I will indeed reinforce you with a thousand angels, coming host after host.'

A.Maududi 8:9

10

Allah meant this as glad tidings and that your hearts may be set at rest. For every help comes from Allah alone. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.

A.Maududi 8:10

11

And recall when Allah brought on you drowsiness, giving you a feeling of peace and security from Him, and He sent down rain upon you from the sky that He might cleanse you through it and take away from you the pollution of Satan and strengthen your hearts, and steady your feet through it.

A.Maududi 8:11

12

And recall when your Lord inspired the angels: 'I am certainly with you. So make firm the feet of those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike at their necks and strike at every pore and tip.

A.Maududi 8:12

13

This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. Whoever defies Allah and His Messenger must know that Allah is severe in punishment.

A.Maududi 8:13

14

That is your punishment (from Allah). So taste this punishment, and know that for the unbelievers is the punishment of the Fire.

A.Maududi 8:14

15

Believers, whenever you encounter a hostile force of unbelievers, do not turn your backs to them in flight.

A.Maududi 8:15

16

For he who turns his back on them on such ar occasion - except that it be for tactical reasons, or turning to join another company - he shall incur the wrath of Allah and Hell shall be his abode. It is an evil destination.

A.Maududi 8:16

17

So the fact is that it was not you, but it was Allah Who killed them; and it was not you when you threw [sand at them], but it was Allah Who threw it, (and the believers were employed for the task) that He might cause the believers to successfully pass through this test. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

A.Maududi 8:17

18

This is His manner of dealing with you. As for the unbelievers, Allah will surely undermine their designs.

A.Maududi 8:18

19

(Tell the unbelievers:) 'If you have sought a judgement, then surely a judgement has come to you. And if you desist from disobedience, it is all the better for you. But if you revert to your mischief, We will again chastise you; and your host, howsoever numerous, will never be of any avail to you. Know well, Allah is with the believers.'

A.Maududi 8:19

20

Believers! Obey Allah and His Messenger and do not turn away from him after you hear his command.

A.Maududi 8:20

21

And do not be like those who say: 'We hear', though they do not hearken.

A.Maududi 8:21

22

Indeed the worst kind of all beasts in the sight of Allah are the people that are deaf and dumb, and do not understand.

A.Maududi 8:22

23

And had Allah known in them any good He would surely, have made them hear; but (being as they, are) even if He made them hear, they would have surely turned away in aversion.

A.Maududi 8:23

24

Believers! Respond to Allah, and respond to the Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. Know well that Allah stands between a man and his heart, and it is to Him that all of you shall be mustered.

A.Maududi 8:24

25

And guard against the mischief that will not only bring punishment to the wrong-doers among you. Know well that Allah is severe in punishment.

A.Maududi 8:25

26

And recall when you were few in numbers and deemed weak in the land, fearful lest people do away with you. Then He provided you refuge, strengthened you with His help, and provided you sustenance with good things that you may be grateful.

A.Maududi 8:26

27

Believers! Do not be unfaithful to Allah and the Messenger, nor be knowingly unfaithful to your trusts.

A.Maududi 8:27

28

Know well that your belongings and your children are but a trial, and that with Allah there is a mighty reward.

A.Maududi 8:28

29

Believers! If you fear Allah He will grant you a criterion and will cleanse you of your sins and forgive you. Allah is Lord of abounding bounty.

A.Maududi 8:29

30

And recall how those who disbelieved schemed against you to take you captive, or kill you, or drive you away. They schemed and Allah did also scheme. Allah is the best of those who scheme.

A.Maududi 8:30
