In the Name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
8:1. They ask you about the spoils of war(from the enemies). Say: "The spoils of war(Al-Anfal) belongs to Allah and the Messenger." So have fear of Allah commands and settle all matters of difference among you, and obey Allah and His Messenger, if you are believers.*

*8:12. When your Rabb revealed to the angels, "I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers."
[Fawq al-a’naaq and Kulla banan are exactly similar allegories as we find in*
*47:4.So, when you meet those who have rejected, then strike the necks until you overcome them. Then bind them securely. You may either set them free or ransom them, until the war ends.
