Surah Al-Anfal Verse 41 - English Translation by Dr Kamal Omar
Surah Al-Anfal۞وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّمَا غَنِمۡتُم مِّن شَيۡءٖ فَأَنَّ لِلَّهِ خُمُسَهُۥ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ وَٱلۡيَتَٰمَىٰ وَٱلۡمَسَٰكِينِ وَٱبۡنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ إِن كُنتُمۡ ءَامَنتُم بِٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَىٰ عَبۡدِنَا يَوۡمَ ٱلۡفُرۡقَانِ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡتَقَى ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٌ
And know that whatever you acquired (or collected) as the spoils of war in the form of anything, then (it is so) that one fifth (1/5th) of it is assigned for Allah and the Messenger, and for the near relatives and the orphans, and those in need and those (who become penniless or needy while) in travel — if you have Believed in Allah and in that which We sent (i.e., made evident and clear) on Our Abd on the Day of Criterion, the Day when the two forces faced each other (in the encounter). And Allah is All-Capable over all things
