About the Sura:

Surah Al-Anfaal is the 8th surah (chapter) of The Glorious Quran. Name of the surah means The Spoils of War. It has 75 ayaat (verses) and was revealed in the holy city of Medina i.e., after Prophet ﷺ migrated to the city of Medina. This surah is spread across 2 juz/paaras. 9th juz contain verses 1-40, 10th juz contain verses 41-75.

Introduction:

This sûrah was revealed in Medina to explain how the spoils of war should be distributed following the believers' victory over the Meccan pagans at Badr in 2 A.H./624 C.E. The sûrah urges the believers to be true to Allāh and His Messenger, reminding them of how they were outnumbered but Allāh sent down angels for their aid. It is made clear that although victory comes only from Allāh, the believers should always be ready to defend themselves and be open for peace. The pagans are warned that their plots to hinder others from Allāh's Way and oppose the truth will only end in failure-a theme emphasized in both the previous and the following sûrahs.
