Al-Anfal
Al-Anfal (Arabic: ٱلأنفال, al-ʾanfāl; meaning The Spoils of War, Earnings, Savings, Profits) is the eighth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 75 verses (āyāt). Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is a Medinan surah, completed after the Battle of Badr. It forms a pair with the next surah, At-Tawba.
According to the Muslim philosopher Abul A'la Maududi, the chapter was probably revealed in 2 AH (624 CE) after the Battle of Badr, the first defensive clash between the Meccans and the Muslim people of Medina after they fled from persecution in Mecca. As it contains an extensive point-by-point survey of the battle, it gives the idea that most presumably it was revealed at very much the same time. Yet, it is additionally conceivable that a portion of the verses concerning the issues emerging because of this battle may have been revealed later and placed at the best possible spots to make it consistent entirely.
The Surah is named Al-Anfal (The Bounties) from the first ayat. The word utilized in the ayat is الْأَنفَالِ. The word أَنفَال alludes to what is given as an extra sum past what is required. A very subtle perspective is covered in employing this word: the reward of undertaking jihad for God is permanently saved with God. Other than this prize, the spoils of war that are picked up from the Unbelievers are an extra offer for such individuals; before the Day of Judgment, the Almighty awards these to the participants of the war.
This subject of this Surah can be considered to be the issue of Jihad.
˹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."
— 8:12
Tafsir Ibn Kathir says this means, "you -- angels -- support the believers, strengthen their (battle) front against their enemies, thus, implementing My command to you. I will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied My command and denied My Messenger".
Muhammad al-Baqir narrates in hadith that:
