Know that whatever spoils you take, one-fifth is for Allah and the Messenger, his close relatives, orphans, the poor, and ˹needy˺ travellers, if you ˹truly˺ believe in Allah and what We revealed to Our servant on that decisive day when the two armies met ˹at Badr˺. And Allah is Most Capable of everything.

ﱥWhenﱦyou (were)ﱧon side of the valleyﱨthe nearerﱩand theyﱪ(were) on the sideﱫthe fartherﱬand the caravanﱭ(was) lowerﱮﱯthan youﱰAnd ifﱱyou (had) made an appointmentﱲcertainly you would have failedﱳinﱴthe appointmentﱵButﱶthat might accomplishﱷAllahﱸa matterﱹ(that) wasﱺdestinedﱻthat (might be) destroyedﱼ(those) whoﱽ(were to be) destroyedﱾonﱿa clear evidenceﲀand (might) liveﲁ(those) whoﲂ(were to) liveﲃonﲄﲅa clear evidenceﲆAnd indeedﲇAllahﲈ(is) All-HearingﲉAll-Knowingﲊ
˹Remember˺ when you were on the near side of the valley, your enemy on the far side, and the caravan was below you. Even if the two armies had made an appointment ˹to meet˺, both would have certainly missed it. Still it transpired so Allah may establish what He had destined—that those who were to perish and those who were to survive might do so after the truth had been made clear to both. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when Allah showed them in your dream as few in number. Had He shown them to you as many, you ˹believers˺ would have certainly faltered and disputed in the matter. But Allah spared you ˹from that˺. Surely He knows best what is ˹hidden˺ in the heart.

Then when your armies met, Allah made them appear as few in your eyes, and made you appear as few in theirs, so Allah may establish what He had destined. And to Allah ˹all˺ matters will be returned ˹for judgment˺.

O believers! When you face an enemy, stand firm and remember Allah often so you may triumph.
