Life, Death, and Giving for Allah

Spoils of War and Qualities of True Believers
Begins Surah Al-Anfal. Questions about war gains are answered, and true believers are described as people whose hearts respond to Allah, who pray, give, and trust Him.
Treaties, Preparing Strength, and Choosing Peace
Deals with those who keep breaking treaties, tells believers to prepare their strength and to accept peace when the enemy inclines to it, and reminds them that Allah united their hearts.
Reward for Every Hardship and Seeking Knowledge
Says every thirst, tiredness, hunger, spending and step taken in Allah's cause is recorded as a good deed, and that a group should stay back to learn the religion and teach others.
Permission to Fight Those Who Wronged Them
Allah permits believers who were attacked and driven from their homes for saying "Our Lord is Allah" to fight. He defends places of worship, and those He empowers keep prayer, give zakah and enjoin good.
Obey and Spend in Allah's Cause
Tells believers to obey Allah and the Messenger and not ruin their deeds, and not to weaken or call for peace while superior. Warns that whoever holds back from spending only harms himself.
Believe and Spend From What You Inherit
Calls people to believe and to spend from what Allah has entrusted to them. Those who spent and fought before the conquest rank higher than later ones, though all are promised good. Invites a goodly loan to Allah.
Allah Makes Night Prayer Easier
Allah knows that the Prophet ﷺ and some believers pray much of the night, and eases it: recite what is easy, since some are sick, traveling, or fighting. Commands prayer, zakah, good loans, and seeking forgiveness.
