Set 7, Count 17-20 [3.140] If a wound has afflicted you (at [the

people; and We bring these days to men by turns, and that Allah may
know those who believe and take witnesses from among you...
[3.141] ...that He [Allah] may purge those who believe and deprive the
unbelievers of blessings. [3.142] Yusuf Ali: Did ye think that ye
would enter Heaven without God testing those of you who fought hard

ye used to wish for death before ye met it (in the field). Now ye have

Excerpt K 3:146
Set 8, Count 21 Yusuf Ali: How many of the prophets fought (in
Allah's way) [Jihad], and with them (fought) large bands of godly men?

permission [during a Jihad battle]...[3.153] Pickthall: ...the
messenger, in your rear, was calling you (to fight)...that which ye
missed [war spoils]...[3.154]...They say: Had we any hand in the
affair, we would not have been slain here [in a Jihad battle]. Say:
Had you remained in your houses, those for whom slaughter was ordained
[in a Jihad battle] would certainly have gone forth to the places
where they would be slain...[3.155] (As for) those of you who turned
back on the day when the two armies met...[3.156] O you who believe!
be not like those who disbelieve and say of their brethren when they
travel in the earth or engage in fighting: Had they been with us, they
would not have died and they would not have been slain...[3.157]...if
you are slain in the way of Allah...mercy is better than what they
amass [what those who stay home from Jihad receive – no booty on earth

certainly to Allah shall you be gathered together.

Set 12, Count 33+34 [3.172] ...those who responded (at [the Battle
of] Uhud) to the call of Allah and the Apostle after a wound had
befallen them...shall have a great reward. [3.173] Those to whom the
people said: Surely men have gathered against you [in battle],
therefore fear them, but this increased their faith, and they said:
Allah is sufficient for us and most excellent is the Protector.
Excerpt K 3:195

make them enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; a reward from

Allah, who sell this world's life for the hereafter; and whoever
fights in the way of Allah, then be he slain or be he victorious, We
shall grant him a mighty reward. [4.75] ...fight in the way of
Allah... [4.76] Those who believe fight in the way of Allah, and those

them and kill them wherever you find them...
Excerpt K 4:094-095
Set 18, Count 46+47 [4.94]...when you go to war in Allah's way...

refuge and abundant resources, and whoever goes forth from his house
flying to Allah and His Apostle, and then death overtakes him [in
Jihad], his reward is indeed with Allah...[4.101] Rodwell: And when ye
go forth to war in the land, it shall be no crime in you to cut short
your prayers, if ye fear lest the infidels come upon you; Verily, the
infidels are your undoubted enemies! [4.102]...let them take their
arms...let them take their precautions and their arms...there is no
blame on you, if you are annoyed with rain or if you are sick, that
you lay down your arms...[4.103] Khalifa: Once you complete your
Contact Prayer (Salat), you shall remember GOD while standing,
sitting, or lying down. Once the war is over, you shall observe the
Contact Prayers (Salat); the Contact Prayers (Salat) are decreed for
the believers at specific times.[4.104]...be not weak hearted in
pursuit of the enemy...

and those who are polytheists [while they are converted to Islam on
pain of death]...
Excerpt K 8:001

belong to Allah and the messenger
Excerpt K 8:005
Set 25, Count 58 Even as your Lord caused you to go forth from your
house with the truth, though a party of the believers were surely
averse;
Excerpt K 8:007
Set 26, Count 59 ...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.
Excerpt K 8:009-010
Set 27, Count 60+61 [8.9]...I will assist you [in Jihad] with a

be at ease thereby; and victory is only from Allah; surely Allah is

marching for war, then turn not your backs to them. [8.16] ...for the
sake of fighting... [8.17] So you did not slay them, but it was Allah
Who slew them, and you did not smite when you smote (the enemy), but
it was Allah Who smote [Allah gets the credit for Jihad]...
Excerpt K 8:039-048
Set 30, Count 66-75 [8.39] Shakir: ...fight with them until there is
no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah... [8.40]

that God is your Protector...[8.41] Shakir: ...whatever thing [loot]
you gain, a fifth of it is for Allah and for the Apostle...the day on
which the two parties met [in a Jihad versus anti-Jihad battle]...
[8.42]...Allah might bring about a matter which was to be done, that
he who would perish might perish by clear proof [bring success to
Muslims engaged in robbing a caravan near Badr against all the odds]...
[8.43]...Allah showed them [the Mekkans] to you in your dream as few
[fighters]; and if He had shown them [the Mekkans] to you as many
[fighters] you would certainly have become weak-hearted [i.e., hearts.
See the similar discussion in K 002:249 about how a smaller army can
defeat a larger army]...[8.44]...when you met, as few [fighters] in
your eyes and He made you to appear little [few fighters] in their
eyes, in order that Allah might bring about a matter which was to be
done [a Jihad versus anti-Jihad battle brought on by overconfidence in
each side]...[8.45]...when you meet a party [in battle], then be
firm...[8.46]...obey Allah and His Apostle and do not quarrel for then
you will be weak in hearts [demoralized] and your power [to execute
Jihad] will depart...[8.47]...be not like those [Mekkans] who came
forth from their homes [in an anti-Jihad War on Islamic terrorism]...
[8.48]...when the two parties [Muslims versus Mekkans] came in sight
of each other he [Satan] turned upon his heels...
Excerpt K 8:057-060
Set 31, Count 76-79 Pickthall: [8.57] If thou come on them in the
war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them,
that haply they may remember. [8.57] Khalifa: When you are betrayed by
a group of people, you shall mobilize against them in the same manner.
GOD does not love the betrayers. [8.59] Shakir: ...let not those who
disbelieve think that they shall come in first; surely they will not
escape. [8.60] And prepare against them what force you can and horses
tied at the frontier, to frighten thereby the enemy of Allah and your
enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows
them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way [for Jihad]...
Excerpt K 8:065-075
Set 32, Count 80-90 [8.65] O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if
there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred,
and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of
those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand
[in other words, do not understand totalitarian ideologies like
Islam]. [8.66] ...if there are a hundred patient ones of you they
shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand they shall
overcome two thousand by Allah's permission... [8.67] It is not fit
for a prophet that he should take captives unless he has fought and
triumphed in the land; you desire the frail goods [i.e., ransom money]
of this world... [8.68] ...ransom... [8.69] Eat then of the lawful and
good (things) which you have acquired in war [war spoils]...[8.70] O
Prophet! say to those of the captives [non-Muslims] who are in your
hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to
you better than that which has been taken away from you [in Jihad]...
[8.71] Yusuf Ali: But if they have treacherous designs against thee,
(O Apostle!)...He [Allah] given (thee) power over them...[8.72] Yusuf
Ali: Those who ...fought for the Faith, with their property and their
persons, in the cause of God...[8.73] Yusuf Ali: The Unbelievers are
protectors, one of another: Unless ye do this, (protect each other),
there would be tumult and oppression on earth, and great mischief.

for the Faith...

a people possessing mighty prowess; you will fight against them until
they submit...[48.17] Pickthall: There is no blame...for the sick
(that they go not forth to war). And whoso obeys Allah and His
messenger [by going on Jihad], He will make him enter Gardens
underneath which rivers flow; and whoso turns back [from Jihad], him
will He punish with a painful doom. [48.18] Certainly Allah was well
pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to you under the
tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down
tranquility on them and rewarded them with a near victory, [48.19] And
much booty that they will capture. Allah is ever Mighty, Wise. [48.20]
Allah promised you many acquisitions which you will take, then He
hastened on this one for you and held back the hands of men from you,
and that it may be a sign for the believers and that He may guide you
on a right path. [48.21] Sale: And [he also promiseth you] other
[spoils], which ye have not [yet] been able [to take]: But now hath
God encompassed them [for you]; and God is almighty. [48.22] And if
