In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1. Surely We have given to you a clear victory
2. That Allah may forgive your community their past faults
and those to follow and complete His favor to you and keep
you on a right way,
3. And that Allah might help you with a mighty help.
4. He it is Who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of
the believers that they might have more of faith added to
their faith-- and Allah's are the hosts of the heavens and
the earth, and Allah is Knowing, Wise--
S. That He may cause the believing men and the believing
women to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide
therein and remove from them their evil; and that is a grand
achievement with Allah
6. And (that) He may punish the hypocritical men and the
hypocritical women, and the polytheistic men and the
polytheistic women, the entertainers of evil thoughts about
Allah. On them is the evil turn, and Allah is wroth with
them and has cursed them and prepared hell for them, and
evil is the resort.
7. And Allah's are the hosts of the heavens and the earth;
and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
8. Surely We have sent you as a witness and as a bearer of
good news and as a warner,
9. That you may believe in Allah and His Apostle and may aid
him and revere him; and (that) you may declare His glory,
morning and evening.
10. Surely those who swear allegiance to you do but swear
allegiance to Allah; the hand of Allah is above their hands.
Therefore whoever breaks (his faith), he breaks it only to
the injury of his own soul, and whoever fulfills what he has
covenanted with Allah, He will grant him a mighty reward.
11. Those of the dwellers of the desert who were left behind
will say to you: Our property and our families kept us busy,
so ask forgiveness for us. They say with their tongues what
is not in their hearts. Say: Then who can control anything
for you from Allah if He intends to do you harm or if He
intends to do you good; nay, Allah is Aware of what you do:
12. Nay! you rather thought that the Apostle and the
believers would not return to their families ever, and that
was made fairseeming to your hearts and you thought an evil
thought and you were a people doomed to perish.
13. And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Apostle,
then surely We have prepared burning fire for the
unbelievers.
14. And Allah's is the kingdom. of the heavens and the
earth; He forgives whom He pleases and punishes whom He
pleases, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
15. Those who are left behind will say when you set forth
for the gaining of acquisitions: Allow us (that) we may
follow you. They desire to change the world of Allah. Say:
By no means shall you follow us; thus did Allah say before.
But they will say: Nay! you are jealous of us. Nay! they do
not understand but a little.
16. Say to those of the dwellers of the desert who were left
behind: You shall soon be invited (to fight) against a
people possessing mighty prowess; you will fight against
them until they submit; then if you obey, Allah will grant
you a good reward; and if you turn back as you turned back
before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.
17. There is no harm in the blind, nor is there any harm in
the lame, nor is there any harm in the sick (if they do not
go forth); and whoever obeys Allah and His Apostle, He will
cause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, and
whoever turns back, He will punish him with a painful
punishment.
18. Certainly Allah was well pleased with the believers when
they swore allegiance to you under the tree, and He knew
what was in their hearts, so He sent down tranquillity on
them and rewarded them with a near victory,
19. And many acquisitions which they will take; and Allah is
Mighty, Wise.
20. Allah promised you many acquisitions which you will
take, then He hastened on this one for you and held back the
hands of men from you, and that it may be a sign for the
believers and that He may guide you on a right path.
21. And others which you have not yet been able to achieve
Allah has surely encompassed them, and Allah has power over
all things.
22. And if those who disbelieve fight with you, they would
certainly turn (their) backs, then they would not find any
protector or a helper.
23. Such has been the course of Allah that has indeed run
before, and you shall not find a change in Allah's course.
24. And He it is Who held back their hands from you and your
hands from them in the valley of Mecca after He had given
you victory over them; and Allah is Seeing what you do.
25. It is they who disbelieved and turned you away from the
Sacred Mosque and (turned off) the offering withheld from
arriving at its destined place; and were it not for the
believing men and the believing women, whom, not having
known, you might have trodden down, and thus something
hateful might have afflicted you on their account without
knowledge-- so that Allah may cause to enter into His mercy
whomsoever He pleases; had they been widely separated one
from another, We would surely have punished those who
disbelieved from among them with a painful punishment.
26. When those who disbelieved harbored in their hearts
(feelings of) disdain, the disdain of (the days of)
ignorance, but Allah sent down His tranquillity on His
Apostle and on the believers, and made them keep the word of
guarding (against evil), and they were entitled to it and
worthy of it; and Allah is Cognizant of all things.
27. Certainly Allah had shown to His Apostle the vision with
truth: you shall most certainly enter the Sacred Mosque, if
Allah pleases, in security, (some) having their heads shaved
and (others) having their hair cut, you shall not fear, but
He knows what you do not know, so He brought about a near
victory before that.
28. He it is Who sent His Apostle with the guidance and the
true religion that He may make it prevail over all the
religions; and Allah is enough for a witness.
29. Muhammad is the Apostle of Allah, and those with him are
firm of heart against the unbelievers, compassionate among
themselves; you will see them bowing down, prostrating
themselves, seeking grace from Allah and pleasure; their
marks are in their faces because of the effect of
prostration; that is their description in the Taurat and
their description in the Injeel; like as seed-produce that
puts forth its sprout, then strengthens it, so it becomes
stout and stands firmly on its stem, delighting the sowers
that He may enrage the unbelievers on account of them; Allah
has promised those among them who believe and do good,
forgiveness and a great reward.
