al-Anfāl (The Spoils)

ٱلْأَنْفَال

8:26

وَاذْكُرُوا

إِذْ

أَنتُمْ

قَلِيلٌ

مُّسْتَضْعَفُونَ

فِي

الْأَرْضِ

تَخَافُونَ

أَن

يَتَخَطَّفَكُمُ

النَّاسُ

فَآوَاكُمْ

وَأَيَّدَكُم

بِنَصْرِهِ

وَرَزَقَكُم

مِّنَ

الطَّيِّبَاتِ

لَعَلَّكُمْ

تَشْكُرُونَ

wa-dhkurū ʾidh ʾantum qalīlun mustaḍʿafūna l-ʾarḍi takhāfūna ʾan yatakhaṭṭafakumu n-nāsu fa-ʾāwākum wa-ʾayyadakum bi-naṣrihī wa-razaqakum mina ṭ-ṭayyibāti laʿallakum tashkurūna

Recall the time when you (the believers) were only a few suppressed people in the land, afraid of being terrorized by the people. God gave you shelter, supported you with His help, and bestowed on you pure provisions so that perhaps you would give Him thanks.

Muhammad Sarwar
