سُورَةُ الأَنْفَال

Al-Anfal, The Spoils of War

The eighth surah of the Qur'an, 75 ayahs, revealed in Madinah. It was revealed about the battle of Badr.

Rain falling at night on the valley of Badr, its wells and palms (8:11)

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ زَادَتۡهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

The believers are only those whose hearts tremble when Allah is mentioned, and when His verses are recited to them it increases them in faith, and upon their Lord they rely. (8:2)
