But when the two armies sighted each other, he turned on his heels and said, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I see what you do not see; indeed I fear Allah. And Allah is severe in penalty." Al-Anfaal 8:47-48 The Battle of Badr The state of the Mushrik army الأنفال

As your Lord caused you (O Muhammad) to go out from your home with the truth; and verily, a party among the believers disliked it, Disputing with you concerning the truth after it was made manifest, as if they were being driven to death, while they were looking (at it). And (remember) when Allah promised you (Muslims) one of the two parties (of the enemy i.e. either the army or the caravan) that it should be yours; you wished that the one not armed (the caravan) should be yours, but Allah willed to justify the truth by His Words and to cut off the roots of the disbelievers.

45. These two contrary kinds of man have become engrossed in contention about their Sustainer! But [thus it is:] as for those who are bent on denying the truth – garments of fire shall be cut out for them [in the life to come]; boiling liquid will be poured over their heads, causing all that is within their bodies, as well as the skins, to melt away. And they shall be held by iron grips; and every time they try in their anguish to come out of it, they shall be returned thereto and [be told]: "Taste suffering through fire [to the full]!" [As against this,] behold, God will admit those who attain to faith and do righteous deeds into gardens through which running waters flow, wherein they will be adorned with bracelets of gold and pearls, and where silk will be their raiment: for they were [willing to be] guided towards the best of all tenets, and so they were guided onto the way that leads to the One unto whom all praise is due. Al-Hajj 22:19-24 The Battle of Badr الحج

46. God had helped you at Badr, when you were a contemptible little force; then fear God; thus May ye show your gratitude. When you (Muhammad) said unto the believers: Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should support you with three thousand angels sent down (to your help) ? Nay, but if you persevere, and keep from evil, and (the enemy) attack you suddenly, your Lord will help you with five thousand angels sweeping on. Allah ordained this only as a message of good cheer for you, and that thereby your hearts might be at rest, Victory comes only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. Al Umran 3:123-126 The Battle of Badr آل عمران

47. When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then strike above the necks and strike each of their fingers. That is because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Whoso opposes Allah and His messenger, Allah is severe in punishment.

64. Hast thou not seen those who gave the grace of Allah in exchange for thanklessness and led their people down to the Abode of Loss, Hell – which they [themselves] will have to endure? And how vile a state to settle in! And they set up rivals to Allah that they may mislead (men) from His way. Say: Enjoy life (while ye may) for lo! your journey’s end will be the Fire.
