SURAH
AL-FAT-H
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Undoubtedly, We have granted you a clear victory.
2. That Allah may forgive the sins of your farmers and of
your lathers on account of you and may complete His favours
upon you and may show you straight path.
3. And that Allah may help you with mighty help.
4. He it is Who sent down satisfaction in the hearts of
the believers so that they might add belief to their belief
and to Allah belongs all the hosts of the heavens and the earth.
And Allah is Knowing, wise.
5. So that He may cause the believing men and the believing
women to enter the gardens under neath which flow rivers, to
abide therein and He may remove their evils from them. And this
is the great triumph in the sight of Allah.
6. And that He may torment the hypocrite men and the hypocrite
women and the polytheist men and polytheist women who have evil
thoughts concerning Allah. On them is the evil turn of fortune
and Allah is worth with them, and has cursed them and has prepared
Hell for them. And that is what an evil end.
7. And to Allah belongs all the hosts of the heavens and
the earth. And Allah is Dignified, Wise.
8. Surely, We have sent you as a witness (present and seeing)
and a bearer of glad tiding and a warner.
9. So that O People you may believe in Allah and His Messenger
and pay respect to him and honour him, and that you may glorify
Him morning and evening.
10. Those who swear allegiance to you, swear allegiance
to Allah. The hand of Allah is over their hands; so who-so ever
breaks his oath, he breaks it to his own loss, and whosoever
fulfils the covenant which he had made with Allah, then Allah
shall soon give him a great Reward.
11. Now those desert Arabs who had remained behind will
say to you, 'our possessions and our family members kept us
busy, therefore now you ask forgiveness for us?' They say with
their tongues that which is not in their hearts Say you, 'who
has any power for you against Allah, if He desires you harm
or if He desires you good.' Nay, Allah is Aware of your doings'.
12. Nay! But you thought that the messengers and muslims
would never return to their homes, and the same was understood
by you fair in your hearts, and you conceived an evil thought,
and you were a people to be ruined.
13. And whoso believes not in Allah and His Messengers,
We have surely prepared for the infidels a blazing fire.
14. And for Allah only is the kingdom of the heavens and
the earth. He forgives whosoever He pleases and punishes whomsoever
He pleases. And Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
15. Now those who lagged behind will say, 'when you go to
take the spoils, let us follow you. They desire to change the
words of Allah'. Say you, 'you shall by no means follow us thus
have Allah said before. Then now they will say, 'nay! But you
are jealous of us. Not so rather, they understood not but a
little.
16. Say to the desert Arabs, who lagged behind, 'soon you
shall be summoned to fight against a people of severe fighting
that you shall fight them or they shall become muslims'. Then,
if you will obey the command, Allah will give you a good reward,
but if you will turn away as you turned away before, He will
punish you with a painful punishment.
17. No straitening there is on the blind and no harm on
the lame, and nor there is penalization on the sick. And whoso
obeys Allah and His Messenger, Allah will admit him into gardens
underneath which streams flow, but whoso will turn away, he
will torment him with a painful torment.
18. Surely, Allah was pleased with the believers when they
were swearing allegiance to you under the tree, and Allah knew
what were in their hearts, so He sent down on them tranquillity
and rewarded them with a near victory.
19. And abundant spoils that they took. And Allah is Dignified,
Wise.
20. And Allah has promised you abundant spoils that you
will take, and these He had hastened to you and has restrained
the hands of the people from you and that it may be a sign to
the believers and that He may guide you on a straight path.
21. And one more (victory) which was not under your power,
that is in the possession of Allah. And Allah is Potent over
every thing.
22. And if the infidels should fight you, they would necessarily
then turn their back from your confrontation; then they would
not find any supporter nor helper.
23. This is the practice of Allah that is being practiced
from before, and you shall never find the practice of Allah
changing.
24. And it is He Who has restrained their hands from you
and has restrained your hands from them in the valley of Mecca
after He had given you control over them. And Allah sees your
doings.
25. They are those who disbelieved and hindered you from
the Sacred mosque, and the sacrificial animals were detained
from reaching their place of sacrifice. And if it had not been
for certain believing men and some believing women whom you
knew not that you might have trampled them, and there befall
you any harm from them unknowingly, We would have permitted
you to fight. This protection of theirs is for that Allah may
admit into His mercy whom He pleases. If they had been separated,
necessarily then We would have punished the infidels among them
with a painful punishment.
26. When the infidels harboured obduracy in their hearts
the obduracy of the days of ignorance then Allah sent down His
tranquillity on His Messenger and on the believers and made
incumbent on them the words of righteousness and they were better
entitled to it and more worthy of it. And Allah knows everything.
27. Undoubtedly, Allah has proved true the true vision of
His messenger. You shall no doubt, will enter the sacred mosque,
if Allah pleases, in security, having their heads Shaven or
having their hair cut short without any fear. But He knew what
you knew not and appointed before that a near victory.
28. It is He Who has sent His Messenger with guidance and
the religion of truth that he may make it prevail over all other
religions And Sufficient is Allah as witness.
29. Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him
are hard against the infidels and tender among themselves you
will see them bowing and prostrating themselves in prayer seeking
grace of Allah and His pleasure. Their mark is on their faces
from the traces of prostrations This description of their is
in Taurah and their description is in Enjeel, as a cultivated
field which puts forth its sprout, then strengthened it, then
it became thick, then stood straight upon its stem, it looks
pleasant to the cultivators that through them the hearts of
the infidels may burn. Allah has promised unto those of them
who are believers and do good, forgiveness and a great reward.
