Talal Itani & AI (2024)

You didn’t kill them, but it was God who killed them. And you threw not when you threw, but it was God who threw—to test the believers with a good test from Him. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Talal Itani & AI (2024)

If you seek victory, victory has indeed come to you. If you cease, it’s better for you, but if you return, We too will return. Your forces won’t avail you at all, even if they are numerous. God is with the believers.

Talal Itani & AI (2024)

O you who believe, obey God and His Messenger, and don’t turn away from him while you listen.

Talal Itani & AI (2024)

The worst of creatures in the sight of God are the deaf and dumb who don’t understand.

Talal Itani & AI (2024)

If God had found any goodness in them, He would’ve made them hear. Yet, even if He had, they would still have turned away in defiance.

8:24

یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱسۡتَجِیبُوا۟ لِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُمۡ لِمَا یُحۡیِیكُمۡۖ وَٱعۡلَمُوۤا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ یَحُولُ بَیۡنَ ٱلۡمَرۡءِ وَقَلۡبِهِۦ وَأَنَّهُۥۤ إِلَیۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ ۝٢٤

Talal Itani & AI (2024)

O you who believe, respond to God and the Messenger when he calls you to what gives you life. And know that God intervenes between a person and his heart, and that to Him you will be gathered.

This is so that God may distinguish the wicked from the good, stack the wicked upon each other, bundle them together, and cast them into Hell. These are the losers.

Know that whatever spoils you acquire, a fifth of it is for God, the Messenger, the relatives, the orphans, the needy, and the refugees, provided you believe in God and in what We revealed to Our servant on the Day of Decisiveness—the day the two forces clashed. God has power over all things.

When you were on the near bank, they were on the far bank, and the caravan was below you. Had you made a mutual appointment, you would’ve failed to keep it. But God intended to accomplish a predestined matter, so that those who perished would perish by clear evidence, and those who survived would survive by clear evidence. God is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

O Prophet, say to those who are captives in your custody, “If God knows any good in your hearts, He will give you better than what was taken from you, and He will forgive you. God is Forgiving and Merciful.”

Those who believed, emigrated, and striven in God’s way with their wealth and lives and those who provided shelter and assistance are allies of one another. However, for those who believed and didn’t emigrate, you owe them no protection until they emigrate. However, if they seek your assistance in faith, then you should support them, except against a people with whom you have a treaty. God observes all your actions.

Those who believed afterward and emigrated and joined you in struggle, they too are of you. But according to the book of God, blood relations have precedence. God has knowledge of all things.
