In the Name of Allah, The Merciful, The Compassionate, Remember thy Lord inspired
the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will
instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all
their finger tips off them."
This is because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: if any contend against
Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment. Thus (will it be said): "Taste ye
then of the (punishment): for those who resist Allah, is the penalty of the Fire."
O ye who believe! when ye meet the Unbelievers in hostile array, never turn your backs
to them. If any do turn his back to them on such a dayunless it be in a stratagem of war,
or to retreat to a troop (of his own) he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his
abode is Hell, an Evil refuge (indeed)! It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when
thou threwest (a handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might
test the Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and
knoweth (all things).
That, and also because Allah is He Who makes feeble the Plans and stratagems of the
Unbelievers. (O Unbelievers!) if ye prayed for victory and judgment, now hath the
judgment come to you if ye desist (from wrong), it will be best for you: if ye return (to
the attack), so shall We. Not the least good will your forces be to you even if they were
multiplied: for verily Allah is with those who believe!
(Allah's is the Word of Truth).
