Surah Al-Anfal

وَإِذْ يَعِدُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ إِحْدَى ٱلطَّآئِفَتَيْنِ أَنَّهَا لَكُمْ وَتَوَدُّونَ أَنَّ غَيْرَ ذَاتِ ٱلشَّوْكَةِ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ وَيُرِيدُ ٱللَّهُ أَن يُحِقَّ ٱلْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعَ دَابِرَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ

Wa iż ya‘idukumullāhu iḥdaṭ-ṭā'ifataini annahā lakum wa tawaddūna anna gaira żātisy-syaukati takūnu lakum wa yurīdullāhu ay yuḥiqqal-ḥaqqa bikalimātihī wa yaqṭa‘a dābiral-kāfirīn(a).
