What qualities of believers have been described in surah Anfal?
What qualities of believers have been described in surah al Anfal? From the verses of surah al Anfal, the qualities of believers are:
The ones whose hearts are filled with fear when hearing Allah’s name, when they hear the verses of the holy Quran their faith strengthens and increases their desire to do good deeds. They depend on Allah alone, knowing that he is the only one who can help them. The true believer is the one who prays day and night. They are the ones who spend their money for the sake of Allah.
Here are the verses that describe the true believers:
إِنَّمَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُهُۥ زَادَتْهُمْ إِيمَـٰنًۭا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ ٢
The ˹true˺ believers are only those whose hearts tremble at the remembrance of Allah, whose faith increases when His revelations are recited to them, and who put their trust in their Lord.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ٣
˹They are˺ those who establish prayer and donate from what We have provided for them.
أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقًّۭا ۚ لَّهُمْ دَرَجَـٰتٌ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَمَغْفِرَةٌۭ وَرِزْقٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ ٤
It is they who are the true believers. They will have elevated ranks, forgiveness, and an honorable provision from their Lord.
