Arabic Qur'an with English Translation
Chapter 8: Al-Anfal
[3] Who establish regular prayers and spend
(freely) out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance:
[4] Such in truth are the Believers: they have
grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness, and generous
sustenance:
[5] Just as thy Lord ordered thee out of thy
house in truth, even though a party among the Believers disliked it,
[6] Disputing with thee concerning the truth
after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death
and they (actually) saw it.
[7] Behold! Allah promised you one of the two
(enemy) parties, that it should be yours: ye wished that the one
unarmed should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the Truth
according to His words, and to cut off the roots of the Unbelievers.
