The Holy Quran 8:45 — Surah Al-Anfal

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا لَقِيتُمْ فِئَةً فَٱثْبُتُوا۟ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Translation

O you who have Imaan! When you lock in combat with an army (of the enemy), then be steadfast (for the pleasure of Allaah) and think of (remember) Allaah abundantly (make du'aa salaat, zikr to Allaah for assistance) so that you may be successful (against the enemy).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Jihad and the remembrance of Allah: this includes prayer, du'a (supplication), takbir and every kind of remembrance of Allah. The effect of “the remembrance of Allah” is that the heart of the one who remembers becomes firm and at peace, which is needed most of all in jihad.
