وَأَعِدُّوا
لَهُم
مَّا
اسْتَطَعْتُم
مِّن
قُوَّةٍ
وَمِن
رِّبَاطِ
الْخَيْلِ
تُرْهِبُونَ
بِهِ
عَدُوَّ
اللَّهِ
وَعَدُوَّكُمْ
وَآخَرِينَ
مِن
دُونِهِمْ
لَا
تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ
اللَّهُ
يَعْلَمُهُمْ
وَمَا
تُنفِقُوا
مِن
شَيْءٍ
فِي
سَبِيلِ
اللَّهِ
يُوَفَّ
إِلَيْكُمْ
وَأَنتُمْ
لَا
تُظْلَمُونَ

Mobilize your (defensive) force as much as you can to frighten the enemies of God and your own enemies. This also will frighten those who are behind them whom you do not know but God knows well. Whatever you spend for the cause of God, He will give you sufficient recompense with due justice.
