Surat Al-Anfaal · The Spoils of War
Qur'an 8:52
كَدَأْبِ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ ۙ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ
“[Theirs is] like the custom of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them. They disbelieved in the signs of Allāh, so Allāh seized them for their sins. Indeed, Allāh is Powerful and severe in penalty.”
Al-Anfaal 8:52 · Saheeh International
Svenska · Bernström
Med samma envishet följde de samma [onda] vägar som Faraos män och de som levde i äldre tid. De förnekade sanningen i Guds budskap och Gud straffade dem för deras synder. Gud är stark [och] Han straffar med stränghet!
Recited by Mishary Alafasy. Plays on through the surah.
Allah says, `The behavior of these rebellious disbelievers against what I sent you with, O Muhammad, is similar to the behavior of earlier disbelieving nations. So We behaved with them according to Our Da'b, that is, Our behavior or custom and way, as We did with them with what We often do and decide concerning their likes, the denying people of Fir`awn and the earlier nations who rejected the Messengers and disbelieved in Our Ayat,'
فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ
(so Allah punished them for their sins.)
Because of their sins, Allah destroyed them
إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ
(Verily, Allah is All-Strong, severe in punishment.)
none can resist Him or escape His grasp.
