Sura Al-Anfal from 9 to 16


9. ( Remember ) when you sought help of your Lord and He answered you ( saying ) : « I will help you with a thousand of the angels each behind the other ( following one another ) in succession. »
10. Allâh made it only as glad tidings, and that your hearts be at rest therewith. And there is no victory except from Allâh. Verily, Allâh is All- Mighty, All- Wise.
11. ( Remember ) when He covered you with a slumber as a security from Him, and He caused water ( rain ) to descend on you from the sky, to clean you thereby and to remove from you the Rijz ( whispering, evil- suggestions ) of Shaitân ( Satan ) , and to strengthen your hearts, and make your feet firm thereby.
12. ( Remember ) when your Lord revealed to the angels, « Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes. »
13. This is because they defied and disobeyed Allâh and His Messenger. And whoever defies and disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, then verily, Allâh is Severe in punishment.
14. This is ( the torment ) , so taste it; and surely for the disbelievers is the torment of the Fire.
15. O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve, in a battle- field, never turn your backs to them.
16. And whoever turns his back to them on such a day - unless it be a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop ( of his own ) , - he indeed has drawn upon himself wrath from Allâh. And his abode is Hell, and worst indeed is that destination!
