Surah Al-Fath

وَأُخْرَىٰلَمْتَقْدِرُوا۟عَلَيْهَاقَدْأَحَاطَٱللَّهُبِهَاوَكَانَٱللَّهُعَلَىٰكُلِّشَىْءٍۢقَدِيرًۭا

And there are yet other [gains] which are still beyond your grasp, [but] which God has already encompassed [for you]: for God has the power to will anything.

وَلَوْقَٰتَلَكُمُٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟لَوَلَّوُا۟ٱلْأَدْبَٰرَثُمَّلَايَجِدُونَوَلِيًّۭاوَلَانَصِيرًۭا

And [now,] if they who are bent on denying the truth should fight against you, they will indeed turn their backs [in flight], and will find none to protect them and none to bring them succour:

سُنَّةَٱللَّهِٱلَّتِىقَدْخَلَتْمِنقَبْلُوَلَنتَجِدَلِسُنَّةِٱللَّهِتَبْدِيلًۭا

such being God’s way which has ever obtained in the past - and never wilt thou find any change in God’s way!

وَهُوَٱلَّذِىكَفَّأَيْدِيَهُمْعَنكُمْوَأَيْدِيَكُمْعَنْهُمبِبَطْنِمَكَّةَمِنۢبَعْدِأَنْأَظْفَرَكُمْعَلَيْهِمْوَكَانَٱللَّهُبِمَاتَعْمَلُونَبَصِيرًا

And He it is who, in the valley of Mecca, stayed their hands from you, and your hands from them, after He had enabled you to vanquish them; and God saw indeed what you were doing.

هُمُٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟وَصَدُّوكُمْعَنِٱلْمَسْجِدِٱلْحَرَامِوَٱلْهَدْىَمَعْكُوفًاأَنيَبْلُغَمَحِلَّهُۥوَلَوْلَارِجَالٌۭمُّؤْمِنُونَوَنِسَآءٌۭمُّؤْمِنَٰتٌۭلَّمْتَعْلَمُوهُمْأَنتَطَـُٔوهُمْفَتُصِيبَكُممِّنْهُممَّعَرَّةٌۢبِغَيْرِعِلْمٍۢلِّيُدْخِلَٱللَّهُفِىرَحْمَتِهِۦمَنيَشَآءُلَوْتَزَيَّلُوا۟لَعَذَّبْنَاٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟مِنْهُمْعَذَابًاأَلِيمًا

[It was not for your enemies sake that He stayed your hands from them: for] it was they who were bent on denying the truth, and who debarred you from the Inviolable House of Worship and prevented your offering from reaching its destina­tion. And had it not been for the believing men and believing women [in Mecca], whom you might have unwittingly trampled underfoot, and on whose account you might have become guilty, without knowing it, of a grievous wrong-: [had it not been for this, you would have been allowed to fight your way into the city: but you were forbidden to fight] so that [in time] God might admit to His grace whomever He wills. Had they [who deserve Our mercy and they whom We have condemned] been clearly discernible [to you], We would indeed have imposed grievous suffering [at your hands] on such of them as were bent on denying the truth.

إِذْجَعَلَٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟فِىقُلُوبِهِمُٱلْحَمِيَّةَحَمِيَّةَٱلْجَٰهِلِيَّةِفَأَنزَلَٱللَّهُسَكِينَتَهُۥعَلَىٰرَسُولِهِۦوَعَلَىٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَوَأَلْزَمَهُمْكَلِمَةَٱلتَّقْوَىٰوَكَانُوٓا۟أَحَقَّبِهَاوَأَهْلَهَاوَكَانَٱللَّهُبِكُلِّشَىْءٍعَلِيمًۭا

Whereas they who are bent on denying the truth harboured a stubborn disdain in their hearts - the stubborn disdain [born] of ignorance God bestowed from on high His [gift of] inner peace upon His Apostle and the believers, and bound them to the spirit of God-consciousness: for they were most worthy of this [divine gift], and deserved it well. And God has full knowledge of all things.

لَّقَدْصَدَقَٱللَّهُرَسُولَهُٱلرُّءْيَابِٱلْحَقِّلَتَدْخُلُنَّٱلْمَسْجِدَٱلْحَرَامَإِنشَآءَٱللَّهُءَامِنِينَمُحَلِّقِينَرُءُوسَكُمْوَمُقَصِّرِينَلَاتَخَافُونَفَعَلِمَمَالَمْتَعْلَمُوا۟فَجَعَلَمِندُونِذَٰلِكَفَتْحًۭاقَرِيبًا

Indeed, God has shown the truth in His Apostle’s true vision: most certainly shall you enter the Inviolable House of Worship, if God so wills, in full security, with your heads shaved or your hair cut short, without any fear: for He has [always] known that which you yourselves could not know. And He has ordained [for you], besides this, a victory soon to come.

هُوَٱلَّذِىٓأَرْسَلَرَسُولَهُۥبِٱلْهُدَىٰوَدِينِٱلْحَقِّلِيُظْهِرَهُۥعَلَىٱلدِّينِكُلِّهِۦوَكَفَىٰبِٱللَّهِشَهِيدًۭا

He it is who has sent forth His Apostle with the [task of spreading] guidance and the religion of truth, to the end that He make it prevail over every [false] religion; and none can bear witness [to the truth] as God does.

مُّحَمَّدٌۭرَّسُولُٱللَّهِوَٱلَّذِينَمَعَهُۥٓأَشِدَّآءُعَلَىٱلْكُفَّارِرُحَمَآءُبَيْنَهُمْتَرَىٰهُمْرُكَّعًۭاسُجَّدًۭايَبْتَغُونَفَضْلًۭامِّنَٱللَّهِوَرِضْوَٰنًۭاسِيمَاهُمْفِىوُجُوهِهِممِّنْأَثَرِٱلسُّجُودِذَٰلِكَمَثَلُهُمْفِىٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِوَمَثَلُهُمْفِىٱلْإِنجِيلِكَزَرْعٍأَخْرَجَشَطْـَٔهُۥفَـَٔازَرَهُۥفَٱسْتَغْلَظَفَٱسْتَوَىٰعَلَىٰسُوقِهِۦيُعْجِبُٱلزُّرَّاعَلِيَغِيظَبِهِمُٱلْكُفَّارَوَعَدَٱللَّهُٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَعَمِلُوا۟ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِمِنْهُممَّغْفِرَةًۭوَأَجْرًاعَظِيمًۢا

MUHAMMAD is God’s Apostle; and those who are [truly] with him are firm and unyielding towards all deniers of the truth, [yet] full of mercy towards one another. Thou canst see them bowing down, pros­trating themselves [in prayer], seeking favour with God and [His] goodly acceptance: their marks are on their faces, traced by prostration. This is their parable in the Torah as well as their parable in the Gospel: [they are] like a seed that brings forth its shoot, and then He strengthens it, so that it grows stout, and [in the end] stands firm upon its stem, delighting the sowers. [Thus will God cause the believers to grow in strength,] so that through them He might confound the deniers of the truth. [But] unto such of them as may [yet] attain to faith and do righteous deeds, God has promised forgiveness and a reward supreme.
