The Spoilsal-Anfāl ( الأنفال )

75 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that answers the question that the believers put to the Prophet regarding how God and His Messenger would have them distribute The spoils, after the believers had differed among themselves about its disbursement. It takes its name from the term “spoils” (al-anfāl) mentioned in verse 1. The main part of this surah is a comment on the Battle of Badr (year 2/624), the first fought between the Muslims and their Meccan opponents. The Muslims, some of whom were at first reluctant to fight, won in spite of being vastly outnumbered, and began to question the distribution of the gains (spoils of war). The surah reminds them that it was God who brought about the victory. verse 41 shows how the gains were to be distributed. It advises Muslims and comments on the role of the hypocrites and on those who always break their treaties (verse 56), ending with a statement about loyalties and alliances.«

The surah is also known as Battle Gains, Booty, The Spoils of War

بِسمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحيمِ

: V mene Boha milostivého, v moci ktorého je milosť

يَسأَلونَكَ عَنِ الأَنفالِ ۖ قُلِ الأَنفالُ لِلَّهِ وَالرَّسولِ ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَصلِحوا ذاتَ بَينِكُم ۖ وَأَطيعُوا اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ إِن كُنتُم مُؤمِنينَ

Pýtajú sa ťa na korisť (muslimovia sa po bitke Bedr spýtali proroka, ako sa má korisť rozdeliť) . Povedz (odpovedz im, Muhammad) : "Korisť je určená pre Boha a posla. Bojte sa Boha a napravte si vzťahy medzi sebou (keď sa malo rozhodovať o delení koristi, niektorí muslimovia sa medzi sebou pohnevali, preto im tento verš a následne prorok Muhammad prikázal, aby sa udobrili a urovnali spory, ktoré medzi nimi vznikli) , a poslúchajte Boha a jeho posla, ak ste veriaci (poslúchnite Boha a proroka vtom, ako sa korisť má rozdeliť a buďte s delením spokojní, ak skutočne veríte v Boha a v posolstvo, ktoré vám prostredníctvom svojho posla Muhammada zoslal) .
