8:1 They ask you [O Prophet] about the spoils of war[1]. Say, “The spoils of war belong to Allah and the Messenger. So fear Allah, settle your affairs among yourselves, and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you are [true] believers.”

8:2 The true believers are those whose hearts are filled with awe when Allah is mentioned, and their faith increases when His verses are recited to them, and they put their trust only in their Lord;

8:3 those who establish prayer and spend out of what We have provided for them.

8:4 Such are the true believers; they will have high ranks with their Lord, and forgiveness and honorable provision.

8:5 Just as your Lord brought you [O Prophet] out of your home for a just cause[1], even though a group of believers were averse to it.

8:6 They disputed with you concerning the truth[1] after it had become clear to them as if they were being driven towards death while they were looking on.

8:7 And [remember, O believers], when Allah promised you one of the two parties[1], that it would fall to you, and you wished that the unarmed one would fall to you. But it was Allah’s Will to establish the truth by His Words and exterminate the disbelievers,

8:8 so that He might establish the truth and nullify the falsehood, even though the wicked are averse to it.
