Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know.

Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom ye know not. Allah knoweth them.

تم ان کے مقابلے کے لئے اپنی طاقت بھر قوت کی تیاری کرو اور گھوڑوں کے تیار رکھنے کی کہ اس سے تم اللہ کے دشمنوں کو خوف زده رکھ سکو اور ان کے سوا اوروں کو بھی، جنہیں تم نہیں جانتے، اللہ انہیں خوب جان رہا ہے جو کچھ بھی اللہ کی راه میں صرف کرو گے وه تمہیں پورا پورا دیا جائے گا اور تمہارا حق نہ مارا جائے گا

Whatever you may spend in the cause of Allah shall be fully repaid to you, and you shall not be wronged.
44. Muslims should he equipped with military resources and should have a standing army in a state of preparedness, in order that it may be used when needed. Never should it happen that the Muslims are caught unawares and have to hurriedly look around right and left to build up their defences and collect arms and supplies in order to meet the challenge of the enemy. For then it might be too late and the enemy might have accomplished its purpose.
