[8:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
8:1 They consult you about the spoils of war. Say, “The spoils of war belong to GOD and the messenger.” You shall observe GOD, exhort one another to be righteous, and obey GOD and His messenger, if you are believers.
How do we exhort one another of being righteous?
Exhort: to try to persuade someone to do something more…
88:21 You shall remind, for your mission is to deliver this reminder.
In the spoils of war God is advocating to split the spoils righteously
The Spoils of War
59:7 Whatever GOD restored to His messenger from the (defeated) communities shall go to GOD and His messenger (in the form of a charity). You shall give it to the relatives, the orphans, the poor, and the traveling alien. Thus, it will not remain monopolized by the strong among you. You may keep the spoils given to you by the messenger, but do not take what he enjoins you from taking. You shall reverence GOD. GOD is strict in enforcing retribution.
