8:41 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Know that whatever spoils you take, one-fifth is for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ˹needy˺ travellers, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and what We revealed to Our servant on that decisive day when the two armies met ˹at Badr˺. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.
8:42 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran ˹Remember˺ when you were on the near side of the valley, your enemy on the far side, and the caravan was below you. Even if the two armies had made an appointment ˹to meet˺, both would have certainly missed it.1 Still it transpired so Allah may establish what He had destined—that those who were to perish and those who were to survive might do so after the truth had been made clear to both. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
8:43 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran ˹Remember, O  Prophet,˺ when Allah showed them in your dream as few in number. Had He shown them to you as many, you ˹believers˺ would have certainly faltered and disputed in the matter. But Allah spared you ˹from that˺. Surely He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.
8:44 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Then when your armies met, Allah made them appear as few in your eyes, and made you appear as few in theirs, so Allah may establish what He had destined. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

8:47 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Do not be like those ˹pagans˺ who left their homes arrogantly, only to be seen by people and to hinder others from Allah’s Path. And Allah is Fully Aware of what they do.
8:48 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran And ˹remember˺ when Satan made their ˹evil˺ deeds appealing to them, and said, “No one can overcome you today. I am surely by your side.” But when the two forces faced off, he cowered and said, “I have absolutely nothing to do with you. I certainly see what you do not see. I truly fear Allah, for Allah is severe in punishment.”
8:49 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran ˹Remember˺ when the hypocrites and those with sickness in their hearts said, “These ˹believers˺ are deluded by their faith.” But whoever puts their trust in Allah, surely Allah is Almighty, All-Wise.
8:50 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran If only you could see when the angels take the souls of the disbelievers, beating their faces and backs, ˹saying,˺ “Taste the torment of burning!
8:51 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran This is ˹the reward˺ for what your hands have done. And Allah is never unjust to ˹His˺ creation.”
8:52 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Their fate is that of the people of Pharaoh and those before them—they all disbelieved in Allah’s signs, so Allah seized them for their sins. Indeed, Allah is All-Powerful, severe in punishment.
8:53 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran This is because Allah would never discontinue His favour to a people until they discontinue their faith. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
8:54 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran That was the case with Pharaoh’s people and those before them—they all rejected the signs of their Lord, so We destroyed them for their sins and drowned Pharaoh’s people. They were all wrongdoers.
8:55 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Indeed, the worst of all beings in the sight of Allah are those who persist in disbelief, never to have faith—

8:57 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran If you ever encounter them in battle, make a fearsome example of them, so perhaps those who would follow them may be deterred.
8:58 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran And if you ˹O Prophet˺ see signs of betrayal by a people, respond by openly terminating your treaty with them. Surely Allah does not like those who betray.
8:59 1 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Do not let those disbelievers1 think they are not within reach. They will have no escape.
8:60 0 Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran Prepare against them what you ˹believers˺ can of ˹military˺ power and cavalry to deter Allah’s enemies and your enemies as well as other enemies unknown to you but known to Allah.
