1
They ask you about the spoils of war. Say: “The spoils belong to God and the Messenger. If you believe, then fear God, live in harmony, and obey God and His Messenger.”
2
The believers are the ones whose hearts throb at the mention of God and whose faith grows at the recitation of His Verses. They put their trust in their Lord,
3
observe the prayer, and give from the provisions We have bestowed upon them.
4
These are the true believers! They have degrees of honor, forgiveness, and ample provision with their Lord.
5
Your Lord made you leave your home for the sake of Truth, albeit some of the believers were against it.
6
But after Truth manifested itself, they argued with you about it, as if they were driven to death that was before their eyes.
7
God had promised you that one of the two companies would fall in your hands, and you chose the one that was unarmed. By His Words God wanted to affirm the Truth and cut the roots under the disbelievers.
8
This was in order to affirm the Truth and expose falsehood; however hateful that was for the sinners.
9
Then you called for your Lord’s help, and He answered you: — I am going to support you with a thousand Angels in ranks upon ranks.
10
By these glad tidings God wanted to give hope and comfort to your hearts. No victory is possible without God! Verily, God is almighty and wise!
11
Then He induced sleepiness in you as a comfort from Himself. He sent down water upon you from the sky to purify you, to wash from you the pollution of Satan, to fortify your hearts, and to make you stand firmly on your feet.
12
Then your Lord inspired the Angels: — I am with you, support the believers! I will fill the hearts of the disbelievers with terror, and you, smite [them] on their necks and chop all their fingers off!
13
This was because they opposed God and His Messenger. And if any one opposes God and His Messenger... verily, God is stern in punishment!
14
— This is for you, let you taste it! The disbelievers will suffer the penalty of the Fire!
15
O you who have believed! When you meet disbelievers in battle array, do not turn your backs to them.
16
Whoever turns his back to them on that day, will bring God’s wrath upon himself, unless it is a maneuver in battle or a move to rejoin [one’s] company. His abode shall be Hellfire — what a terrible outcome!
17
It is not you who killed them — it was God. It is not you who blinded their eyes — it was God, Who was testing believers by His gracious intervention. Verily, God is hearing and all-knowing!
18
Verily, God will weaken the plots of the disbelievers.
19
They were asking for victory, and they received judgment! It would have been better for you to end [the war], but if you resume it, We will resume it as well, and then your forces will not help you, even if they are multiplied many times. Verily, God is on the side of the believers!
20
O you who have believed! Obey God and His Messenger and do not turn away, but listen.
21
Do not be like those who say: “We hear,” and do not listen.
22
Verily, the meanest creatures in God’s sight are the deaf and dumb — those who do not understand.
23
Had God found any good in them, He would have allowed them to hear, but even if He allowed them to hear, they would have turned away and denied.
24
O you who have believed! Respond to the call of God and His Messenger when He calls you to the source of life. Know that God stands between man and his heart, and that you shall be gathered to Him.
25
Fear the ordeal that shall beset [you all] and not only the sinners, and know that God is severe in punishment.
26
Remember the time when you were few in the land. You were despised and feared eviction, but [God] sheltered you, supported you by His help, and provided you with good sustenance — perhaps you will be grateful!
27
O you who have believed! Do not betray the trust of God and the Messenger; do not knowingly betray your trusts!
28
Know that your wealth and your children are only a trial, and that with God there is a great reward for you.
29
O you who have believed! Fear God, then He will grant you Salvation, absolve you from evil, and forgive you — indeed, mighty is the grace of God!
30
Then the disbelievers plotted against you in order to capture, murder, or expel you. They were plotting and God was plotting, but God is the best of plotters!
