8. Sūrat al-Anfāl
٨۔ سُورَةُ الأنفَال
Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and they will not ˹ever˺ believe -
إِنَّ شَرَّ الدَّوَابِّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
The ones with whom you made a treaty but then they break their pledge every time, and they do not fear Allah.
الَّذِينَ عَاهَدْتَ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ يَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَهُمْ لَا يَتَّقُونَ
So if you, ˹O Muhammad˺, gain dominance over them in war, disperse by ˹means of˺ them those behind them that perhaps they will be reminded.
فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِمْ مَنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
If you ˹have reason to˺ fear from a people betrayal, throw ˹their treaty˺ back to them, ˹putting you˺ on equal terms. Indeed, Allah does not like traitors.
وَإِمَّا تَخَافَنَّ مِنْ قَوْمٍ خِيَانَةً فَانْبِذْ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلَىٰ سَوَاءٍ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْخَائِنِينَ
