Qur’an-related source paragraphs

And the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Exalted: “O you who have believed, when you meet those who disbelieve advancing [for battle], do not turn your backs to them. And whoever turns his back to them on such a day, unless swerving [as a strategy] for battle or joining [another] company, has certainly returned with anger [upon him] from Allah, and his refuge is Hell—and wretched is the destination.” [Qur’an 8:15-16]
