In plain wordsEditorial
An editorial summary of the translations. Not a translation or tafsir.
Seventy-five verses on Badr and what followed it: how spoils are divided, how a fighting force should conduct itself, and how treaties are kept and ended — taking its name from the question that opens it, put to the Prophet about the spoils, and answered before the fighting itself is described.
Every verse as a number; tap one to open it. Shaded numbers mark verses where the translations differ most.
