110.1 Victory comes with the help of God.

١١٠۔١ مقطع في سُورَةُ النـَّصر

110:1 When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest,  2 And you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes,  3 Then exalt ˹Him˺ with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance. 

١١٠:١ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ ۝ ٢ وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا ۝ ٣ فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا ۝

1 When the help of God, for His Prophet (s), against his enemies, comes together with victory, the victory over Mecca,

١ {إذا جاء نصر الله} نبيَّه ﷺ على أعدائه {والفتح} فتح مكة.

2 and you see people entering God’s religion, that is to say, Islam, in throngs, in large droves, after they had been entering one by one — this was after the conquest of Mecca, when the Arabs from all corners of the land came to him willingly ˹in obedience to his command˺ —

٢ {ورأيت الناس يدخلون في دين الله} أي الإسلام {أفواجا} جماعات بعدما كان يدخل فيه واحد واحد، وذلك بعد فتح مكة جاءه العرب من أقطار الأرض طائعين.

3 then glorify with praise of your Lord, that is, continuously praising Him, and seek forgiveness from Him; for verily He is ever ready to relent. The Prophet (s), after this sūra had been revealed, would frequently repeat the words subhāna’Llāhi wa bi-hamdihi, ‘Glory and praise be to God’, and astaghfiru’Llāha wa-atūbu ilayhi, ‘I seek forgiveness from God and I repent to Him’; with ˹the revelation of˺ this ˹final sūra˺ he realised that his end was near. The victory over Mecca was in Ramadān of year 8; the Prophet (s) passed away in Rabī‘ I of the year 10. Meccan, consisting of 5 verses. When the Prophet (s) summoned his people and said, ‘I am a warner to you, ˹standing˺ before a terrible chastisement’, his uncle, Abū Lahab, said, ‘May you perish! Is that what you have called us out for?’, whereupon the following was revealed:

٣ {فسبح بحمد ربك} أي متلبسا بحمده {واستغفره إنه كان توابا} وكان ﷺ بعد نزول هذه السورة يكثر من قول: سبحان الله وبحمده، أستغفر الله وأتوب إليه، وعلم بها أنه قد أقترب أجله وكان فتح مكة في رمضان سنة ثمان وتوفي ﷺ في ربيع الأول سنة عشر.
