Qur'an 20090428

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

1. They ask you concerning the spoils of war. Say, "Such spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the messenger. So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves. Obey Allah and God's messenger, if you do believe."

2. For believers are those who, when Allah is mentioned, feel a tremor in their hearts, and when they hear God's Signs rehearsed, find their faith strengthened, and put their trust in their Lord.

3. Who establish regular prayers, and spend out of the gifts We have given them for sustenance.

The Spoils of War 8:1-3
----------------------------------------------------------

Such spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the messenger. So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves. Obey Allah and God's messenger, if you do believe.

Everything belongs to Allah, and the more property we accumulate as humans, the more of that property should be used to please Allah. Allah is the Oft-Forgiving, and will take all of our intentions and efforts to count.
