The Noble Quran:
Chapter eight in the Noble Quran is composed of 75 verses.
Verses from 1-10 are talking about fear Allah, and keep straight, obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe. Then the Quran defines the Believers as those who are, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His Signs rehearsed find their faith strengthened, and put all their trust in Allah and they who establish regular prayers. Then the Quran describes the story of the escape of Mohammad from home to Medina (about 400 miles away) when the unbelievers assembled to kill him.
[1] They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: (Such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: so fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe.
[2] For, Believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear His Signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put (all) their trust in their Lord;
[3] Who establish regular prayers and spend (freely) out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance:
[4] Such in truth are the Believers: they have grades of dignity with their Lord, and forgiveness, and generous sustenance:
[5] Just as thy Lord ordered thee out of thy house in truth, even though a party among the Believers disliked it,
[6] Disputing with thee concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death and they (actually) saw it.
[7] Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it should be yours: ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words, and to cut off the roots of the Unbelievers.
[8] That He might justify Truth and prove Falsehood false, distasteful though it be to those in guilt.
[9] Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord, and He answered you: I will assist you with a thousand of the angels, ranks on ranks.
[10] Allah made it but a message of hope, and an assurance to your hearts, (in any case) there is no help except from Allah: and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise.
