Total Verses: 75
Revealed At: MADINA
Maududi's introduction





In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

008.001
YUSUFALI: They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such) spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe."
PICKTHAL: They ask thee (O Muhammad) of the spoils of war. Say: The spoils of war belong to Allah and the messenger, so keep your duty to Allah, and adjust the matter of your difference, and obey Allah and His messenger, if ye are (true) believers.
SHAKIR: They ask you about the windfalls. Say: The windfalls are for Allah and the Messenger. So be careful of (your duty to) Allah and set aright matters of your difference, and obey Allah and His Messenger if you are believers.

"SPOILS OF WAR=BOOTY? "

You seriously think those words are interchangeable ?

That the " spoils of war" as in the capture and use of an enemy transport ship is the same as piracy ?
