41. And know that whatever ye take as spoils of war, lo!
a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the Messenger and for the kinsman (who
hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, if ye believe in Allah
and that which We sent down upon unto Our slave on the Day of Discrimination,
the day when the two armies met. And Allah is Able to do all things.

Commentary
‘Al-Furqaani –
(Discrimination, decision), this word has been derived from the word farq,
which means “separation”. Furqaan means “the thing; which
discriminates between two opponents. Here, this discrimination took place by
means of the Battle of Badr. Therefore, it aims the Battle of Badr.
Summary of this verse is that
you should separate fifth part of the spoils of war for the name of God
Almighty, which is gained after fighting with the disbelievers, if you believe
in Him and you are sure that it was not possible for you to get victory in the
Battle of Badr. That success was due to special support of Allah
Almighty which He sent down for the help of His special Servant and Messenger,
Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) during war and for his
satisfaction. God Almighty sent down His Angels (peace be upon them) for help
and you succeeded. Having faith in it, it is not difficult to draw fifth part
for the name of God Almighty. This fifth part of the spoils of war will be
spent by His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) being
Allah’s Vicegerent on the following:
·
For Himself (grace,
glory, blessings and peace be upon Him)
·
For His kinsmen, Bani
Hashim and Bani Abdil Mutlib; who helped Him in the
beginning and to whom; paying the poor-due (Zakaat) is forbidden.
·
The orphans
·
The needy people
·
The wayfarers
Remaining four parts of the
spoils of the war will be distributed in the Army. The rider soldiers will be
given double than the foot soldiers.
After the departure of the
Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), His
own and His kinsmen’s part from the spoils of war has been discontinued. Then;
only orphans, the poor and needy people were entitled (rightful) of the spoils
of war.
The scholar of the religion
said that Messenger of God Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon
Him) used to draw some part from the spoils of war for the Inviolable Place of
Worship (the House of God at Makkah). According to their opinion,
those people who live away from The Squire Building of Makkah, they
should separate some part for their Masaajid (Mosques).
