۞ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ And know أَنَّمَا that what غَنِمْتُم you obtain (as) spoils of war مِّن of شَىْءٍۢ anything فَأَنَّ then that لِلَّهِ for Allah خُمُسَهُۥ (is) one fifth of it وَلِلرَّسُولِ and for the Messenger وَلِذِى and for the ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ near relatives وَٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ and the orphans وَٱلْمَسَـٰكِينِ and the needy وَٱبْنِ and the ٱلسَّبِيلِ wayfarer إِن if كُنتُمْ you ءَامَنتُم believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَمَآ and (in) what أَنزَلْنَا We sent down عَلَىٰ to عَبْدِنَا Our slave يَوْمَ (on the) day ٱلْفُرْقَانِ (of) the criterion يَوْمَ (the) day ٱلْتَقَى (when) met ٱلْجَمْعَانِ ۗ the two forces وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌ All-Powerful ٤١

And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allāh is one fifth of it and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveler, if you have believed in Allāh and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion [i.e., decisive encounter] - the day when the two armies met [at Badr]. And Allāh, over all things, is competent.

إِذْ When أَنتُم you (were) بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ on side of the valley ٱلدُّنْيَا the nearer وَهُم and they بِٱلْعُدْوَةِ (were) on the side ٱلْقُصْوَىٰ the farther وَٱلرَّكْبُ and the caravan أَسْفَلَ (was) lower مِنكُمْ ۚ than you وَلَوْ And if تَوَاعَدتُّمْ you (had) made an appointment لَٱخْتَلَفْتُمْ certainly you would have failed فِى in ٱلْمِيعَـٰدِ ۙ the appointment وَلَـٰكِن But لِّيَقْضِىَ that might accomplish ٱللَّهُ Allah أَمْرًۭا a matter كَانَ (that) was مَفْعُولًۭا destined لِّيَهْلِكَ that (might be) destroyed مَنْ (those) who هَلَكَ (were to be) destroyed عَنۢ on بَيِّنَةٍۢ a clear evidence وَيَحْيَىٰ and (might) live مَنْ (those) who حَىَّ (were to) live عَنۢ on بَيِّنَةٍۢ ۗ a clear evidence وَإِنَّ And indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَسَمِيعٌ (is) All-Hearing عَلِيمٌ All-Knowing ٤٢

[Remember] when you were on the near side of the valley, and they were on the farther side, and the caravan was lower [in position] than you. If you had made an appointment [to meet], you would have missed the appointment. But [it was] so that Allāh might accomplish a matter already destined - that those who perished [through disbelief] would perish upon evidence and those who lived [in faith] would live upon evidence; and indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

إِذْ When يُرِيكَهُمُ you (where) shown them ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah فِى in مَنَامِكَ your dream قَلِيلًۭا ۖ (as) few وَلَوْ and if أَرَىٰكَهُمْ He had shown them to you كَثِيرًۭا (as) many لَّفَشِلْتُمْ surely you would have lost courage وَلَتَنَـٰزَعْتُمْ and surely you would have disputed فِى in ٱلْأَمْرِ the matter وَلَـٰكِنَّ but ٱللَّهَ Allah سَلَّمَ ۗ saved (you) إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He عَلِيمٌۢ (is) All-Knower بِذَاتِ of what is in ٱلصُّدُورِ the breasts ٤٣

[Remember, O Muḥammad], when Allāh showed them to you in your dream as few; and if He had shown them to you as many, you [believers] would have lost courage and would have disputed in the matter [of whether to fight], but Allāh saved [you from that]. Indeed, He is Knowing of that within the breasts.

وَإِذْ And when يُرِيكُمُوهُمْ He showed them to you إِذِ when ٱلْتَقَيْتُمْ you met فِىٓ in أَعْيُنِكُمْ your eyes قَلِيلًۭا (as) few وَيُقَلِّلُكُمْ and He made you (appear) as few فِىٓ in أَعْيُنِهِمْ their eyes لِيَقْضِىَ that might accomplish ٱللَّهُ Allah might accomplish أَمْرًۭا a matter كَانَ (that) was مَفْعُولًۭا ۗ (already) destined وَإِلَى And to ٱللَّهِ Allah تُرْجَعُ return ٱلْأُمُورُ (all) the matters ٤٤

And [remember] when He showed them to you, when you met, as few in your eyes, and He made you [appear] as few in their eyes so that Allāh might accomplish a matter already destined. And to Allāh are [all] matters returned.

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوٓا۟ believe إِذَا When لَقِيتُمْ you meet فِئَةًۭ a force فَٱثْبُتُوا۟ then be firm وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ and remember ٱللَّهَ Allah كَثِيرًۭا much لَّعَلَّكُمْ so that you may تُفْلِحُونَ (be) successful ٤٥

O you who have believed, when you encounter a company [from the enemy forces], stand firm and remember Allāh much that you may be successful.
