Surah Al-Anfal
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ حَرِّضِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى ٱلْقِتَالِ ۚ إِن يَكُن مِّنكُمْ عِشْرُونَ صَـٰبِرُونَ يَغْلِبُوا۟ مِا۟ئَتَيْنِ ۚ وَإِن يَكُن مِّنكُم مِّا۟ئَةٌ يَغْلِبُوٓا۟ أَلْفًا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ
Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu ḥarriḍil-mu'minīna ‘alal-qitāl(i), iy yakum minkum ‘isyrūna ṣabirūna yaglibū mi'atain(i), wa iy yakum minkum mi'atuy yaglibū alfam minal-lażīna kafarū bi'annahum qaumul lā yafqahūn(a).
