[Anfal 8:9] When you (Prophet Mohammed - peace and blessings be upon him) were seeking the help of your Lord, so He answered your prayers that, "I will help you with a row of thousands of angels." [Anfal 8:10] And Allah did this just for your happiness and for your hearts to gain contentment; and help does not come except from Allah; indeed Allah is Almighty, Wise. Section 2 [Anfal 8:11] When He made the slumber overcome you, so it was as a peacefulness from Him, and sent down water from the sky upon you to purify you with it, and to remove the impurity of Satan from you, and to give your hearts fortitude and firmly establish your feet with it. [Anfal 8:12] And when O dear Prophet, your Lord was inspiring the angels that, "I am with you - so make the believers stand firm; I will soon instil fear into the hearts of the disbelievers, so strike above the disbelievers’ necks and hit their each and every bone joint." [Anfal 8:13] This is because they opposed Allah and His Noble Messenger; and whoever opposes Allah and His Noble Messenger - then indeed Allah’s punishment is severe. [Anfal 8:14] Therefore taste this for now, and along with it for the disbelievers is the punishment of fire. [Anfal 8:15] O People who Believe! When you confront a large army of disbelievers in battle, do not turn your backs to them. [Anfal
8:16] And on that day whoever turns his back to them, except for a battle
strategy or to join one’s own company, has then turned towards Allah’s
wrath, and his destination is hell; and what an evil place of return!
