Basic HTML Version
If they incline to peace, make peace with them, and put your trust in
Allah. Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing. Should they seek to
deceive you, Allah is all-sufficient for you. He has made you strong
with His help and rallied the faithful round you, making their hearts
one. If you had given away all the riches of the earth, you could not
have so united them; butAllah has united them. He isMighty,Wise.
OProphet,Allah is your strength and the faithful who followyou.
Prophet, rouse the faithful to arms. If there are twenty steadfast men
among you, you shall vanquish two hundred; and if there are a
hundred, they shall rout a thousand unbelievers, for they are devoid of
understanding.
Allah has now lightened your burden, for He knows that you are
weak. If there are a hundred steadfast men among you, they shall
vanquish two hundred; and if there are a thousand, they shall, by
Allah's will, defeat two thousand.Allah is with those that are steadfast.
A prophet may not take captives until he has destroyed many
disbelievers in his land. You seek the chance gain of this world, but
Allah desires for you the world to come. And Allah is Mighty, Wise.
Had there not been a previous sanction from Allah, you would have
been sternly punished for what you have taken. Enjoy, therefore, the
good and lawful things which you have gained in war, and fear Allah.
He is Forgiving, Merciful.
O Prophet, say to those you have taken captive: 'If Allah finds
goodness in your hearts, He will give you that which is better than what
has been taken from you, and He will forgive you. Allah is Forgiving,
