Ya ayyuha alnnabiyyu harridi almu/mineena AAala alqitali in yakun minkum AAishroona sabiroona yaghliboo mi-atayni wa-in yakun minkum mi-atun yaghliboo alfan mina allatheena kafaroo bi-annahum qawmun la yafqahoona\n65. O Apostle! rouse the Believers\n To the fight. If there are\n Twenty amongst you, patient\n And persevering, they will\n Vanquish two hundred: if a hundred,\n They will vanquish a thousand\n Of the Unbelievers: for these\n Are a people without understanding.\n66. Al-ana khaffafa Allahu AAankum waAAalima anna feekum daAAfan fa-in yakun minkum mi-atun sabiratun yaghliboo mi-atayni wa-in yakun minkum alfun yaghliboo alfayni bi-ithni Allahi waAllahu maAAa alssabireena\n66. For the present, God\n Hath lightened your (task),\n For He knoweth that there is\n A weak spot in you:\n But (even so), if there are\n A hundred of you, patient\n And persevering, they will\n Vanquish two hundred, and if\n A thousand, they will vanquish\n Two thousand, with the leave\n Of God: for God is with those\n Who patiently persevere.\n67. Ma kana linabiyyin an yakoona lahu asra hatta yuthkhina fee al-ardi tureedoona AAarada alddunya waAllahu yureedu al-akhirata waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemun\n67. It is not fitting\n For an Apostle\n That he should have\n Prisoners of war until\n He hath thoroughly subdued\n The land. Ye look\n For the temporal goods\n Of this world; but God\n Looketh to the Hereafter:\n And God is Exalted in might, Wise.\n68. Lawla kitabun mina Allahi sabaqa lamassakum feema akhathtum AAathabun AAatheemun\n68. Had it not been for\n A previous ordainment\nFrom God, a severe penalty\n Would have reached you\n For the (ransom) that ye took.\n69. Fakuloo mimma ghanimtum halalan tayyiban waittaqoo Allaha inna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun\n69. But (now) enjoy what ye took\n In war, lawful and good:\n But fear God: for God\n Is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VIII.: Anf\u0101l, or the Spoils of War.: Section 9 (65-69)","type":"page"}
