Overall meaning : The Almighty says to His Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace: Your companions ask you, Muhammad, about the ruling on the spoils of war—particularly the spoils taken at the Battle of Badr: who are they for and how can they be distributed? Say to them: This matter is left to Allah to whom they belong in the first place and is left to His Messenger, Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, who undertakes to divide them in accordance with His instructions. Therefore, fear Allah by doing what He commands and avoiding what He forbids, reconcile your differences and obey Allah and His Messenger if you are true believers.
Indeed, the true believers are those whose hearts are filled with awe whenever Allah is mentioned, whose faith grows stronger when verses from His Book are recited to them and who place their trust in their Lord alone. They duly perform the prescribed prayers and spend out of what Allah has provided for them. It is these who are true believers. They have exalted grades of rank with their Lord, as well as forgiveness and an honourable provision in Paradise.
