Translation of Verse 11-19

11. ˹Remember˺ when He caused drowsiness to overcome you, giving you serenity. 341 And He sent down rain from the sky to purify you, free you from Satan's whispers, strengthen your hearts, and make ˹your˺ steps firm.

12. ˹Remember, O Prophet,˺ when your Lord revealed to the angels, "I am with you. So make the believers stand firm. I will cast horror into the hearts of the disbelievers. So strike their necks and strike their fingertips."

13. This is because they defied Allah and His Messenger. And whoever defies Allah and His Messenger, then ˹know that˺ Allah is surely severe in punishment.

14. That ˹worldly punishment˺ is yours, so taste it! Then the disbelievers will suffer the torment of the Fire.

15. O believers! When you face the disbelievers in battle, never turn your backs to them.

16. And whoever does so on such an occasion -unless it is a manoeuvre or to join their own troops-will earn the displeasure of Allah, and their home will be Hell. What an evil destination!

17. It was not you ˹believers˺ who killed them, but it was Allah Who did so. Nor was it you ˹O Prophet˺ who threw ˹a handful of sand at the disbelievers˺, 342 but it was Allah Who did so, rendering the believers a great favour. Surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

18. As such, Allah frustrates the evil plans of the disbelievers.

19. If you ˹Meccans˺ sought judgment, now it has come to you. And if you cease, it will be for your own good. But if you persist, We will persist. And your forces-no matter how numerous they might be- will not benefit you whatsoever. For Allah is certainly with the believers.


Commentary

341. This happened the night before the battle.

342. Before the battle, the Prophet ( ﷺ ) threw a handful of sand at the disbelievers and prayed for their defeat.
