Sura Al-Anfal from 26 to 33


26. And remember when you were few and were reckoned weak in the land, and were afraid that men might kidnap you, but He provided a safe place for you, strengthened you with His Help, and provided you with good things so that you might be grateful.
27. O you who believe! Betray not Allâh and His Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amânât ( things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allâh has ordained for you ) . [ 1 ]
28. And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allâh is a mighty reward.
29. O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allâh, He will grant you Furqân [ ( a criterion to judge between right and wrong ) , or ( Makhraj, i.e. a way for you to get out from every difficulty ) ] , and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you; and Allâh is the Owner of the Great Bounty.
30. And ( remember ) when the disbelievers plotted against you ( O Muhammad ( saas ) ) to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out ( from your home, i.e. Makkah ) ; they were plotting and Allâh too was plotting; and Allâh is the Best of those who plot.
31. And when Our Verses ( of the Qur’ân ) are recited to them, they say: « We have heard ( the Qur’ân ) ; if we wish we can say the like of this. This is nothing but the tales of the ancients. »
32. And ( remember ) when they said: « O Allâh! If this ( the Qur’ân ) is indeed the truth ( revealed ) from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring on us a painful torment. »
33. And Allâh would not punish them while you ( Muhammad ( saas ) ) are amongst them, nor will He punish them while they seek ( Allâh’s ) Forgiveness.
