سورة الفتح

48. Surah Al-Fath
The Victory

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

We have given thee a clear victory,

اِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحاً مُب۪يناًۙ

Inna fatahna laka fathanmubeena

That God might forgive thee that which preceded of thy transgression, and what will follow, and complete His favour upon thee, and guide thee by a straight path,

لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللّٰهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَاَخَّرَ وَيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَيَهْدِيَكَ صِرَاطاً مُسْتَق۪يماًۙ

Liyaghfira laka Allahu mataqaddama min thanbika wama taakhkhara wayutimmaniAAmatahu AAalayka wayahdiyaka siratan mustaqeema

And that God might help thee with mighty help.

وَيَنْصُرَكَ اللّٰهُ نَصْراً عَز۪يزاً

Wayansuraka Allahu nasranAAazeeza

He it is that sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers, that they might increase in faith with their faith, — and to God belong the forces of the heavens and the earth; and God is knowing and wise —

هُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَنْزَلَ السَّك۪ينَةَ ف۪ي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ لِيَزْدَادُٓوا ا۪يمَاناً مَعَ ا۪يمَانِهِمْۜ وَلِلّٰهِ جُنُودُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَل۪يماً حَك۪يماًۙ

Huwa allathee anzala assakeenatafee quloobi almu/mineena liyazdadoo eemanan maAAaeemanihim walillahi junoodu assamawatiwal-ardi wakana Allahu AAaleeman hakeema

That He might make the believing men and the believing women enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, they abiding eternally therein, and remove from them their evil deeds — and that in the sight of God is a great achievement —

لِيُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُ خَالِد۪ينَ ف۪يهَا وَيُكَفِّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْۜ وَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ فَوْزاً عَظ۪يماًۙ

Liyudkhila almu/mineena walmu/minatijannatin tajree min tahtiha al-anharukhalideena feeha wayukaffira AAanhum sayyi-atihimwakana thalika AAinda Allahi fawzan AAatheema

And punish the wavering men, and the wavering women, and the idolaters, and the idolatresses, — those who think an evil thought about God — for them is an evil reversal; and God is wroth with them, and has cursed them, and has prepared for them Gehenna; and evil is it as a journey’s end.

وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَافِق۪ينَ وَالْمُنَافِقَاتِ وَالْمُشْرِك۪ينَ وَالْمُشْرِكَاتِ الظَّٓانّ۪ينَ بِاللّٰهِ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِۜ عَلَيْهِمْ دَٓائِرَةُ السَّوْءِۚ وَغَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَنَهُمْ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَهَنَّمَۜ وَسَٓاءَتْ مَص۪يراً

WayuAAaththiba almunafiqeena walmunafiqatiwalmushrikeena walmushrikati aththanneenabillahi thanna assaw-iAAalayhim da-iratu assaw-i waghadiba AllahuAAalayhim walaAAanahum waaAAadda lahum jahannama wasaat maseera

And to God belong the forces of the heavens and the earth; and God is exalted in might and wise.

وَلِلّٰهِ جُنُودُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَز۪يزاً حَك۪يماً

Walillahi junoodu assamawatiwal-ardi wakana Allahu AAazeezan hakeema

We have sent thee as a witness, and a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner,

اِنَّٓا اَرْسَلْنَاكَ شَاهِداً وَمُبَشِّراً وَنَذ۪يراًۙ

Inna arsalnaka shahidanwamubashshiran wanatheera

That you might believe in God and His messenger, and support him and honour him — and give glory to Him morning and evening.

لِتُؤْمِنُوا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ وَتُعَزِّرُوهُ وَتُوَقِّرُوهُۜ وَتُسَبِّحُوهُ بُكْرَةً وَاَص۪يلاً

Litu/minoo billahi warasoolihiwatuAAazziroohu watuwaqqiroohu watusabbihoohu bukratan waaseela

Those who swear fealty to thee but swear fealty to God; the hand of God is over their hands. Then whoso reneges, he but reneges against his soul. And whoso fulfils what he has taken upon him as a covenant to God, He will give him a great reward.

اِنَّ الَّذ۪ينَ يُبَايِعُونَكَ اِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللّٰهَۜ يَدُ اللّٰهِ فَوْقَ اَيْد۪يهِمْۚ فَمَنْ نَكَثَ فَاِنَّمَا يَنْكُثُ عَلٰى نَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمَنْ اَوْفٰى بِمَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللّٰهَ فَسَيُؤْت۪يهِ اَجْراً عَظ۪يماً۟

Inna allatheena yubayiAAoonakainnama yubayiAAoona Allaha yadu Allahifawqa aydeehim faman nakatha fa-innama yankuthu AAalanafsihi waman awfa bima AAahada AAalayhu Allahafasayu/teehi ajran AAatheema

Those who were left behind of the desert Arabs will say to thee: “Our possessions and our families engaged us, so ask thou forgiveness for us.” They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say thou: “Who has power for you against God in anything if He intends for you harm or intends for you benefit?” The truth is, God is aware of what you do.

سَيَقُولُ لَكَ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ شَغَلَتْنَٓا اَمْوَالُنَا وَاَهْلُونَا فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَاۚ يَقُولُونَ بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ مَا لَيْسَ ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْۜ قُلْ فَمَنْ يَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـٔاً اِنْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ ضَراًّ اَوْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ نَفْعاًۜ بَلْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَب۪يراً

Sayaqoolu laka almukhallafoona mina al-aAArabishaghalatna amwaluna waahloona fastaghfirlana yaqooloona bi-alsinatihim ma laysa feequloobihim qul faman yamliku lakum mina Allahi shay-an inarada bikum darran aw arada bikum nafAAanbal kana Allahu bima taAAmaloona khabeera

The truth is, you thought that the Messenger and the believers would never return to their families; and that was made fair in your hearts, and you thought an evil thought and are a people ruined.

بَلْ ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ الرَّسُولُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ اِلٰٓى اَهْل۪يهِمْ اَبَداً وَزُيِّنَ ذٰلِكَ ف۪ي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَظَنَنْتُمْ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِۚ وَكُنْتُمْ قَوْماً بُوراً

Bal thanantum an lan yanqalibaarrasoolu walmu/minoona ila ahleehimabadan wazuyyina thalika fee quloobikum wathanantumthanna assaw-i wakuntum qawman boora

And whoso believes not in God and His messenger, then have We prepared for the false claimers of guidance an inferno.

وَمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُولِه۪ فَاِنَّٓا اَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ سَع۪يراً

Waman lam yu/min billahiwarasoolihi fa-inna aAAtadna lilkafireenasaAAeera

And to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He forgives whom He wills, and He punishes whom He wills; and God is forgiving and merciful.

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِۜ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَٓاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوراً رَح۪يماً

Walillahi mulku assamawatiwal-ardi yaghfiru liman yashao wayuAAaththibuman yashao wakana Allahu ghafooran raheema

Those who were left behind will say, when you set forth for spoils, to take them: “Let us follow you!” They wish to change the words of God. Say thou: “You will not follow us. Thus said God before.” Then will they say: “The truth is, you envy us!” The truth is, they have understood not save a little.

سَيَقُولُ الْمُخَلَّفُونَ اِذَا انْطَلَقْتُمْ اِلٰى مَغَانِمَ لِتَأْخُذُوهَا ذَرُونَا نَتَّبِعْكُمْۚ يُر۪يدُونَ اَنْ يُبَدِّلُوا كَلَامَ اللّٰهِۜ قُلْ لَنْ تَتَّبِعُونَا كَذٰلِكُمْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ فَسَيَقُولُونَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُونَنَاۜ بَلْ كَانُوا لَا يَفْقَهُونَ اِلَّا قَل۪يلاً

Sayaqoolu almukhallafoona itha intalaqtumila maghanima lita/khuthooha tharoonanattabiAAkum yureedoona an yubaddiloo kalama Allahiqul lan tattabiAAoona kathalikum qala Allahumin qablu fasayaqooloona bal tahsudoonana bal kanoola yafqahoona illa qaleela

Say thou to those who were left behind of the desert Arabs: “You will be called against a people possessed of strong might — to fight them, or they submit. If you obey, God will give you a goodly reward; but if you turn away as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.”

قُلْ لِلْمُخَلَّف۪ينَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ سَتُدْعَوْنَ اِلٰى قَوْمٍ اُو۬ل۪ي بَأْسٍ شَد۪يدٍ تُقَاتِلُونَهُمْ اَوْ يُسْلِمُونَۚ فَاِنْ تُط۪يعُوا يُؤْتِكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَجْراً حَسَناًۚ وَاِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا كَمَا تَوَلَّيْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَاباً اَل۪يماً

Qul lilmukhallafeena mina al-aAArabisatudAAawna ila qawmin olee ba/sin shadeedin tuqatiloonahumaw yuslimoona fa-in tuteeAAoo yu/tikumu Allahuajran hasanan wa-in tatawallaw kama tawallaytum minqablu yuAAaththibkum AAathaban aleema

There is no blame upon the blind, nor is there blame upon the lame, nor is there blame upon the sick. And whoso obeys God and His messenger, him will He make enter gardens beneath which rivers flow; but whoso turns away, him will He punish with a painful punishment.

لَيْسَ عَلَى الْاَعْمٰى حَرَجٌ وَلَا عَلَى الْاَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَلَا عَلَى الْمَر۪يضِ حَرَجٌۜ وَمَنْ يُطِـعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُولَهُ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْر۪ي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهَارُۚ وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّ يُعَذِّبْهُ عَذَاباً اَل۪يماً۟

God was pleased with the believers when they swore fealty to thee beneath the tree; and He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity upon them, and rewarded them with a near victory,

لَقَدْ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ اِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَعَلِمَ مَا ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَاَنْزَلَ السَّك۪ينَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاَثَابَهُمْ فَتْحاً قَر۪يباًۙ

Laqad radiya Allahu AAanialmu/mineena ith yubayiAAoonaka tahta ashshajaratifaAAalima ma fee quloobihim faanzala asakeenataAAalayhim waathabahum fathan qareeba

And many spoils they will take; and God is exalted in might and wise.

وَمَغَانِمَ كَث۪يرَةً يَأْخُذُونَهَاۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَز۪يزاً حَك۪يماً

Wamaghanima katheeratan ya/khuthoonahawakana Allahu AAazeezan hakeema

God has promised you many spoils you will take, and He has hastened this for you, — and He restrained the hands of men from you, that it might be a proof for the believers, and that He might guide you by a straight path —

وَعَدَكُمُ اللّٰهُ مَغَانِمَ كَث۪يرَةً تَأْخُذُونَهَا فَعَجَّلَ لَكُمْ هٰذِه۪ وَكَفَّ اَيْدِيَ النَّاسِ عَنْكُمْۚ وَلِتَكُونَ اٰيَةً لِلْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ صِرَاطاً مُسْتَق۪يماًۙ

WaAAadakumu Allahu maghanimakatheeratan ta/khuthoonaha faAAajjala lakum hathihiwakaffa aydiya annasi AAankum walitakoona ayatanlilmu/mineena wayahdiyakum siratan mustaqeema

And others over which you have not had power: them has God encompassed; and God is over all things powerful.

وَاُخْرٰى لَمْ تَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهَا قَدْ اَحَاطَ اللّٰهُ بِهَاۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَد۪يراً

Waokhra lam taqdiroo AAalayhaqad ahata Allahu biha wakana AllahuAAala kulli shay-in qadeera

And had those who ignore warning fought you, they would have turned their backs; then would they have found neither ally nor helper.

وَلَوْ قَاتَلَكُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَوَلَّوُا الْاَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُونَ وَلِياًّ وَلَا نَص۪يراً

Walaw qatalakumu allatheenakafaroo lawallawoo al-adbara thumma la yajidoonawaliyyan wala naseera

The practice of God which was before. And thou wilt not find in the practice of God any change.

سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ الَّت۪ي قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ وَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللّٰهِ تَبْد۪يلاً

Sunnata Allahi allatee qad khalat minqablu walan tajida lisunnati Allahi tabdeela

And He it is that restrained their hands from you, and your hands from them, in a belly of destruction after He made you victorious over them; and God is, of what you do, seeing.

وَهُوَ الَّذ۪ي كَفَّ اَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَاَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنْ بَعْدِ اَنْ اَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَص۪يراً

Wahuwa allathee kaffa aydiyahumAAankum waaydiyakum AAanhum bibatni makkata min baAAdi anathfarakum AAalayhim wakana Allahubima taAAmaloona baseera

Those are they who disbelieved, and turned you away from the inviolable place of worship, and the offering was prevented from reaching its place of sacrifice. And were it not for believing men and believing women whom you knew not whom you might have trampled — then had dishonour befallen you on their account without knowledge — that God might make enter into His mercy whom He wills. Had they been separate, We would have punished those who ignore warning among them with a painful punishment.

هُمُ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا وَصَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَالْهَدْيَ مَعْكُوفاً اَنْ يَبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهُۜ وَلَوْلَا رِجَالٌ مُؤْمِنُونَ وَنِسَٓاءٌ مُؤْمِنَاتٌ لَمْ تَعْلَمُوهُمْ اَنْ تَطَؤُ۫هُمْ فَتُص۪يبَكُمْ مِنْهُمْ مَعَرَّةٌ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍۚ لِيُدْخِلَ اللّٰهُ ف۪ي رَحْمَتِه۪ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۚ لَوْ تَزَيَّلُوا لَعَذَّبْنَا الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَاباً اَل۪يماً

When those who ignore warning set in their hearts bigoted disdain: — the bigoted disdain of ignorance — then God sent down His tranquillity upon His messenger and upon the believers, and imposed upon them the word of prudent fear; and they have more right to it and are worthy of it; and God is knowing of all things.

اِذْ جَعَلَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا ف۪ي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَك۪ينَتَهُ عَلٰى رَسُولِه۪ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِن۪ينَ وَاَلْزَمَهُمْ كَلِمَةَ التَّقْوٰى وَكَانُٓوا اَحَقَّ بِهَا وَاَهْلَهَاۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَل۪يماً۟

Ith jaAAala allatheena kafaroofee quloobihimu alhamiyyata hamiyyata aljahiliyyatifaanzala Allahu sakeenatahu AAala rasoolihi waAAalaalmu/mineena waalzamahum kalimata attaqwa wakanooahaqqa biha waahlaha wakana Allahubikulli shay-in AAaleema

God has confirmed the vision to His messenger in truth: — “You will enter the inviolable place of worship, if God wills, secure, shaven-headed and cut; not fearing.” And He knew what you knew not, and He appointed, besides that, a near victory.

لَقَدْ صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ رَسُولَهُ الرُّءْيَا بِالْحَقِّۚ لَتَدْخُلُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ اِنْ شَٓاءَ اللّٰهُ اٰمِن۪ينَۙ مُحَلِّق۪ينَ رُؤُ۫سَكُمْ وَمُقَصِّر۪ينَۙ لَا تَخَافُونَۜ فَعَلِمَ مَا لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا فَجَعَلَ مِنْ دُونِ ذٰلِكَ فَتْحاً قَر۪يباً

Laqad sadaqa Allahu rasoolahuarru/ya bilhaqqi latadkhulunnaalmasjida alharama in shaa Allahu amineenamuhalliqeena ruoosakum wamuqassireena latakhafoona faAAalima ma lam taAAlamoo fajaAAala mindooni thalika fathan qareeba

He it is that sent His messenger with the guidance and the doctrine of truth, that He might make it manifest over all doctrine; and sufficient is God as witness:

هُوَ الَّـذ۪ٓي اَرْسَلَ رَسُولَهُ بِالْهُدٰى وَد۪ينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدّ۪ينِ كُلِّه۪ۜ وَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَه۪يداًۜ

Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bilhudawadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala addeenikullihi wakafa billahi shaheeda

Muḥammad is the messenger of God. And those with him are hard against the atheists, merciful among themselves — thou seest them lowly, in submission, seeking favour from God and approval, their mark on their faces of the effects of the Submission — that is their likeness in the Torah. And their likeness in the Gospel is like a seed that put forth its shoot, and strengthens it, and established itself upon its stem pleasing the sowers, that by them He might enrage the atheists. God has promised those who heed warning and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a great reward.

مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللّٰهِۜ وَالَّذ۪ينَ مَعَهُٓ اَشِدَّٓاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَٓاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ تَرٰيهُمْ رُكَّعاً سُجَّداً يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلاً مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَاناًۘ س۪يمَاهُمْ ف۪ي وُجُوهِهِمْ مِنْ اَثَرِ السُّجُودِۜ ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِي التَّوْرٰيةِۚۛ وَمَثَلُهُمْ فِي الْاِنْج۪يلِ۠ۛ كَزَرْعٍ اَخْرَجَ شَطْـَٔهُ۫ فَاٰزَرَهُ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوٰى عَلٰى سُوقِه۪ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغ۪يظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَۜ وَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَاَجْراً عَظ۪يماً
