As the order of the verses of the Quran in chapters may not be considered changeable, the relation and agreement of the Divine Names with the meanings of the verses may not be doubted and, contrary to what said by opponents, their occurrence at the end of the verses is wisely and reasonable. Exact consideration in the Divine Names at the ends of the verses of Anfal, their link with the same verse, the previous verse and the next and with the whole meaning of some verses and the content of the whole chapter is clearly explained. The central issue of Anfal is jihad for God and the unseen Divine helps to believers, the Divine Names at the Ends are also of a meaningful relation with it. For example, the Names of Aziz and Hakim are repeated four times throughout the verses of this surah and refers to the fact that the Almighty God has helped his mujahid believers in accordance to His Wisdom; the Name shdid al-iqab has been repeated four times in this sura, which in some cases threatens obstinate unbelievers and, in some cases, warns believers that Divine assistance is limited. Two Names of Sami` and Alim have also come four times, and it is apparent that God is hearing the sound of the plea for the somber mujahid, and He will be aware of their truthfulness and sincerity and will treat them in accordance with the intentions and amount of sincerity and their steadfastness. Because the virtue of the Almighty God is the reward of the steadfast.
