Surah number 8 written in the 10th part of the Holy Quran. Surah Al-Anfal is a Madni, pairing with the very next Surah to it Surah -Al Tawbaa, completed after the battle of Badr (The first battle of Muslims against disbelievers). This Ayat brings peace and gladdening the deeply grimed and grayed walls of my heart.

When combined to previous Ayat 61 which says, "And if they incline to peace, then incline to it [also] and rely upon Allah. Indeed, it is He who is the Hearing, the Knowing." If we practically apply it to our lives, it

"I wonder how you survived that situation?" "I can't explain how everything happened but it passed somehow. Now I feel like I am so strong," she said while talking to her school friend who met her today in university after such a long time.
