Sura Al-Anfal from 17 to 25


17. You killed them not, but Allâh killed them. And you ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) threw not when you did throw, but Allâh threw, that He might test the believers by a fair trial from Him. Verily, Allâh is All- Hearer, All- Knower.
18. This ( is the fact ) and surely, Allâh weakens the deceitful plots of the disbelievers.
19. ( O disbelievers ) if you ask for a judgement, now has the judgement come unto you; and if you cease ( to do wrong ) , it will be better for you, and if you return ( to the attack ) , so shall We return, and your forces will be of no avail to you, however numerous they be; and verily, Allâh is with the believers.
20. O you who believe! Obey Allâh and His Messenger, and turn not away from him ( i.e. Messenger Muhammad ( saas ) ) while you are hearing.
21. And be not like those who say: « We have heard, » but they hear not.
22. Verily! The worst of ( moving ) living creatures with Allâh are the deaf and the dumb, who understand not ( i.e. the disbelievers ) .
23. Had Allâh known of any good in them, He would indeed have made them listen; and even if He had made them listen, they would but have turned away with aversion ( to the truth ) .
24. O you who believe! Answer Allâh ( by obeying Him ) and ( His ) Messenger when he ( ( saas ) ) calls you [ 1 ] to that which will give you life, [ 2 ] and know that Allâh comes in between a person and his heart ( i.e. He prevents an evil person to decide anything ) . And verily to Him you shall ( all ) be gathered.
25. And fear the Fitnah ( affliction and trial ) which affects not in particular ( only ) those of you who do wrong ( but it may afflict all the good and the bad people ) , and know that Allâh is Severe in punishment.

[1] (V.8:24) See the footnote of (V.1:2).

[2] (V.8:24) i.e., one is alive, - a true believer (of Islâmic Monotheism) who is obedient to Allâh and His Messenger (Muhammad (saas)) and follows the Qur’ân and Prophet’s Sunnah practically, and he goes out for Jihâd in Allâh’s Cause; in case he is martyred, that is not a death but an eternal life (in Paradise) forever, unlike to a disbeliever who is dead (as regards faith), and will be punished in Hell forever (neither alive nor dead).
