Arabic Qur'an with English Translation
Chapter 8: Al-Anfal
[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.
[8] That He might justify Truth and prove
Falsehood false, distasteful though it be to those in guilt.
[9] Remember ye implored the assistance of your
Lord, and He answered you: "I will assist you with a thousand of the
angels, ranks on ranks."
[10] Allah made it but a message of hope, and an
assurance to your hearts, (in any case) there is no help except from
Allah: and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
