Suratun-Nasr (Qur'an 110)

Arabic text:

  1. إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ
  2. وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا
  3. فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا

Transliteration:

  1. Idha ja'a nasrullahi wal-fath.
  2. Wa ra'aytan-nasa yadkhuluna fi dinillahi afwaja.
  3. Fasabbih bihamdi Rabbika wastaghfirh, innahu kana tawwaba.

English translation:

  1. When the help of Allah and the victory come,
  2. And you see people entering the religion of Allah in crowds,
  3. Then glorify the praises of your Lord and seek His forgiveness. Truly, He is ever ready to accept repentance.

Lessons of the Surah:

  1. Victory and success come only from Allah, so all achievement should be credited to Him, not to human effort alone.
  2. The conquest of Makkah and the mass entry of people into Islam fulfilled the Prophet's mission.
  3. At the moment of triumph a believer should respond with humility, glorification (tasbih) and gratitude, not pride or arrogance.
  4. Seeking Allah's forgiveness (istighfar) is encouraged even in success, teaching constant self-examination.
  5. The surah is understood to hint at the approaching end of the Prophet's earthly mission and his passing.
  6. Allah is At-Tawwab, ever willing to accept the repentance of His servants.
