| In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 8:1 They consult you about the spoils of war. Say, "The spoils of war belong to GOD and the messenger." You shall observe GOD, exhort one another to be righteous, and obey GOD and His messenger, if you are believers. |
| The True Believers 8:2 The true believers are those whose hearts tremble when GOD is mentioned, and when His revelations are recited to them, their faith is strengthened, and they trust in their Lord. |
| 8:3 They observe the Contact Prayers (Salat), and from our provisions to them, they give to charity. |
| 8:4 Such are the true believers. They attain high ranks at their Lord, as well as forgiveness and a generous provision. |
| The Weak Believers 8:5 Then your Lord willed that you leave your home, to fulfill a specific plan, some believers became exposed as reluctant believers. |
| 8:6 They argued with you against the truth, even after everything was explained to them. They acted as if they were being driven to certain death. |
| 8:7 Recall that GOD promised you victory over a certain group, but you still wanted to face the weaker group. It was GOD's plan to establish the truth with His words, and to defeat the disbelievers. |
| 8:8 For He has decreed that the truth shall prevail, and the falsehood shall vanish, in spite of the evildoers. |
| God's Invisible Soldiers 8:9 Thus, when you implored your Lord to come to the rescue, He responded to you: "I am supporting you with one thousand angels in succession." |
| Victory Guaranteed for the Believers 8:10 GOD gave you this good news to strengthen your hearts. Victory comes only from GOD. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise. |
