Quran /8- The Spoils of War AL ANFAL Madinite/

Introduction

In The Name of Allah AL-Rahman and AL-Rahim (The Merciful,)
The Surah (Chapter) outlined the body of rules to be followed in war time and the indications for declaring war and the factors which would lead to victory.
The Surah also treated the subject of the spoils of war and the fate of the captives and the wisdom and philosophy behind it. Here, we find the detailed narrative of the Battle of Badr, the circumstances preceding it and those succeeding and the reason for each, such as the ousting of the Prophet Muhammad from Macca. And just as the indications of war have been stated, so were those for peace, especially when requested by the enemy.
The Surah tells those who have conformed to Islam to adhere to each other and stick together and not to submit to oppression or persecution because of their faith, but to emigrate to another land where they can be free to perform their religious rites and where they can best serve Allah.
