110. An-Nasr · Divine Support

Divine help, victory, and people entering the faith become occasions for praise and seeking forgiveness. The brief sequence connects apparent success with humility before God, directing attention toward repentance instead of allowing achievement to justify self-satisfaction.

A note on Arabic, English and verse numbering

Tanzil’s Arabic source includes the opening basmala with the first verse of surahs other than 9. Pickthall’s numbered translation includes it at 1:1; at other surah openings it is not repeated within the numbered English verse. This display preserves both source conventions. The Arabic is not a collection of all variant readings.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِذَا جَآءَ نَصْرُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْفَتْحُ

When Allah's succour and the triumph cometh

وَرَأَيْتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِى دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا

And thou seest mankind entering the religion of Allah in troops,

فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَٱسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ تَوَّابًۢا

Then hymn the praises of thy Lord, and seek forgiveness of Him. Lo! He is ever ready to show mercy.
