اِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُّبِيْنًاۙ

innā fataḥnā laka fat-ḥam mubīnā

WE HAVE GIVEN you a splendent victory

لِّيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللّٰهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْۢبِكَ وَمَا تَاَخَّرَ وَيُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَهٗ عَلَيْكَ وَيَهْدِيَكَ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيْمًاۙ

liyagfira lakallāhu mā taqaddama min żambika wa mā ta`akhkhara wa yutimma ni'matahụ 'alaika wa yahdiyaka ṣirāṭam mustaqīmā

That God may save you from earlier and subsequent blames and complete His favours on you and guide you on the straight path

وَّيَنْصُرَكَ اللّٰهُ نَصْرًا عَزِيْزًا

wa yanṣurakallāhu naṣran 'azīzā

And help you with surpassing help.

هُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَنْزَلَ السَّكِيْنَةَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ لِيَزْدَادُوْٓا اِيْمَانًا مَّعَ اِيْمَانِهِمْ ۗ وَلِلّٰهِ جُنُوْدُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلِيْمًا حَكِيْمًاۙ

huwallażī anzalas-sakīnata fī qulụbil-mu`minīna liyazdādū īmānam ma'a īmānihim, wa lillāhi junụdus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa kānallāhu 'alīman ḥakīmā

It is He who sent down the sense of security into the hearts of believers so that their faith may increase with belief -- God´s are the armies of the heavens and the earth; and God is all-knowing and all-wise; --

لِّيُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَا وَيُكَفِّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّاٰتِهِمْۗ وَكَانَ ذٰلِكَ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ فَوْزًا عَظِيْمًاۙ

And that He may admit men and women who believe into gardens with rivers running by to live for ever there and absolve their evil -- This in the sight of God will be the great fulfilment --

وَّيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنٰفِقِيْنَ وَالْمُنٰفِقٰتِ وَالْمُشْرِكِيْنَ وَالْمُشْرِكٰتِ الظَّاۤنِّيْنَ بِاللّٰهِ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِۗ عَلَيْهِمْ دَاۤىِٕرَةُ السَّوْءِۚ وَغَضِبَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَنَهُمْ وَاَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَهَنَّمَۗ وَسَاۤءَتْ مَصِيْرًا

wa yu'ażżibal-munāfiqīna wal-munāfiqāti wal-musyrikīna wal-musyrikātiẓ-ẓānnīna billāhi ẓannas-saụ`, 'alaihim dā`iratus-saụ`, wa gaḍiballāhu 'alaihim wa la'anahum wa a'adda lahum jahannam, wa sā`at maṣīrā

And that He may punish men and women (who are) hypocrites and idolaters and idolatresses who entertain evil notions of God: It is against them that the wheel of misfortune will turn and God will be wroth with them and condemn them. For them He has prepared Hell an evil destination!

وَلِلّٰهِ جُنُوْدُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَزِيْزًا حَكِيْمًا

wa lillāhi junụdus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa kānallāhu 'azīzan ḥakīmā

For God´s are the armies of the heavens and the earth; and God is all-knowing and all-wise.

اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنٰكَ شَاهِدًا وَّمُبَشِّرًا وَّنَذِيْرًاۙ

innā arsalnāka syāhidaw wa mubasysyiraw wa nażīrā

We have sent you as witness (of the truth) and harbinger of good news and a warner

لِّتُؤْمِنُوْا بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ وَتُعَزِّرُوْهُ وَتُوَقِّرُوْهُۗ وَتُسَبِّحُوْهُ بُكْرَةً وَّاَصِيْلًا

litu`minụ billāhi wa rasụlihī wa tu'azzirụhu wa tuwaqqirụh, wa tusabbiḥụhu bukrataw wa aṣīlā

So that (men) may believe in God and His Apostle and honour Him and revere Him and sing His praises morning and evening.

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ يُبَايِعُوْنَكَ اِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُوْنَ اللّٰهَ ۗيَدُ اللّٰهِ فَوْقَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ ۚ فَمَنْ نَّكَثَ فَاِنَّمَا يَنْكُثُ عَلٰى نَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ اَوْفٰى بِمَا عٰهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللّٰهَ فَسَيُؤْتِيْهِ اَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

innallażīna yubāyi'ụnaka innamā yubāyi'ụnallāh, yadullāhi fauqa aidīhim, fa man nakaṡa fa innamā yangkuṡu 'alā nafsih, wa man aufā bimā 'āhada 'alaihullāha fa sayu`tīhi ajran 'aẓīmā

Those who swear allegiance to you indeed swear allegiance to God; and God´s protection is over them. Then whosoever breaks the promise breaks it to his own loss; but whosoever fulfills the promise made to God will receive a great reward from Him.

سَيَقُوْلُ لَكَ الْمُخَلَّفُوْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ شَغَلَتْنَآ اَمْوَالُنَا وَاَهْلُوْنَا فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ۚيَقُوْلُوْنَ بِاَلْسِنَتِهِمْ مَّا لَيْسَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْۗ قُلْ فَمَنْ يَّمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ شَيْـًٔا اِنْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ ضَرًّا اَوْ اَرَادَ بِكُمْ نَفْعًا ۗبَلْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِيْرًا

The Arabs of the desert who had stayed behind will now say to you: "We were occupied with our flocks and herds and families so ask forgiveness for us. They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Tell them: "Who can prevail with God for you if He wish you harm or benefit? Surely God is well aware of what you do.

بَلْ ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّنْقَلِبَ الرَّسُوْلُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ اِلٰٓى اَهْلِيْهِمْ اَبَدًا وَّزُيِّنَ ذٰلِكَ فِيْ قُلُوْبِكُمْ وَظَنَنْتُمْ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِۚ وَكُنْتُمْ قَوْمًاۢ بُوْرًا

In fact you imagined that the Prophet and the faithful would never come back home; and this seemed pleasing to your hearts and you entertained evil thoughts. You are a people lost.

وَمَنْ لَّمْ يُؤْمِنْۢ بِاللّٰهِ وَرَسُوْلِهٖ فَاِنَّآ اَعْتَدْنَا لِلْكٰفِرِيْنَ سَعِيْرًا

wa mal lam yu`mim billāhi wa rasụlihī fa innā a'tadnā lil-kāfirīna sa'īrā

He who does not believe in God and His Apostle (should know) We have prepared for unbelievers a blazing fire."

وَلِلّٰهِ مُلْكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ يَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوْرًا رَّحِيْمًا

wa lillāhi mulkus-samāwāti wal-arḍ, yagfiru limay yasyā`u wa yu'ażżibu may yasyā`, wa kānallāhu gafụrar raḥīmā

To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth; He may forgive whosoever He please and afflict whosoever He will. Yet God is forgiving and kind.

سَيَقُوْلُ الْمُخَلَّفُوْنَ اِذَا انْطَلَقْتُمْ اِلٰى مَغَانِمَ لِتَأْخُذُوْهَا ذَرُوْنَا نَتَّبِعْكُمْ ۚ يُرِيْدُوْنَ اَنْ يُّبَدِّلُوْا كَلٰمَ اللّٰهِ ۗ قُلْ لَّنْ تَتَّبِعُوْنَا كَذٰلِكُمْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖفَسَيَقُوْلُوْنَ بَلْ تَحْسُدُوْنَنَا ۗ بَلْ كَانُوْا لَا يَفْقَهُوْنَ اِلَّا قَلِيْلًا

Those who had stayed behind will say: "When you depart for taking the spoils allow us to follow you." They wish to change the word of God. Tell them: "You will not follow us. That is what God has already said before." They will say: "You are envious of our gain." The fact is they understand but little.

قُلْ لِّلْمُخَلَّفِيْنَ مِنَ الْاَعْرَابِ سَتُدْعَوْنَ اِلٰى قَوْمٍ اُولِيْ بَأْسٍ شَدِيْدٍ تُقَاتِلُوْنَهُمْ اَوْ يُسْلِمُوْنَ ۚ فَاِنْ تُطِيْعُوْا يُؤْتِكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَجْرًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَاِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا كَمَا تَوَلَّيْتُمْ مِّنْ قَبْلُ يُعَذِّبْكُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا

Say to the desert Arabs who had stayed behind: "You will be called against a formidable people. You will fight them till they surrender. If you obey then He will give you a good reward; but if you turn back as you had done before He will punish you with a grievous affliction."

لَيْسَ عَلَى الْاَعْمٰى حَرَجٌ وَّلَا عَلَى الْاَعْرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَّلَا عَلَى الْمَرِيْضِ حَرَجٌ ۗ وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ يُدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ ۚ وَمَنْ يَّتَوَلَّ يُعَذِّبْهُ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا

laisa 'alal-a'mā ḥarajuw wa lā 'alal-a'raji ḥarajuw wa lā 'alal-marīḍi ḥaraj, wa may yuṭi'illāha wa rasụlahụ yudkhil-hu jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-an-hār, wa may yatawalla yu'ażżib-hu 'ażāban alīmā

It is not binding on the blind the lame or the sick (to follow this command); but those who obey God and His Apostle will be admitted by God to gardens with running streams; but those who turn back will suffer a painful doom.

۞ لَقَدْ رَضِيَ اللّٰهُ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ اِذْ يُبَايِعُوْنَكَ تَحْتَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَعَلِمَ مَا فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمْ فَاَنْزَلَ السَّكِيْنَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاَثَابَهُمْ فَتْحًا قَرِيْبًاۙ

laqad raḍiyallāhu 'anil-mu`minīna iż yubāyi'ụnaka taḥtasy-syajarati fa 'alima mā fī qulụbihim fa anzalas-sakīnata 'alaihim wa aṡābahum fat-ḥang qarībā

God was pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to you under the tree for He knew well what was in their hearts and sent down tranquility on them and rewarded them with an expeditious victory

وَّمَغَانِمَ كَثِيْرَةً يَّأْخُذُوْنَهَا ۗ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَزِيْزًا حَكِيْمًا

wa magānima kaṡīratay ya`khużụnahā, wa kānallāhu 'azīzan ḥakīmā

And the many spoils that they were to take. God is all-mighty and all-wise.

وَعَدَكُمُ اللّٰهُ مَغَانِمَ كَثِيْرَةً تَأْخُذُوْنَهَا فَعَجَّلَ لَكُمْ هٰذِهٖ وَكَفَّ اَيْدِيَ النَّاسِ عَنْكُمْۚ وَلِتَكُوْنَ اٰيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَيَهْدِيَكُمْ صِرَاطًا مُّسْتَقِيْمًاۙ

wa 'adakumullāhu magānima kaṡīratan ta`khużụnahā fa 'ajjala lakum hāżihī wa kaffa aidiyan-nāsi 'angkum, wa litakụna āyatal lil-mu`minīna wa yahdiyakum ṣirāṭam mustaqīmā

God had promised you many spoils that you would capture; so He gave this soon enough to you and stayed the hands of men from you that it may serve as a sign for believers and guide you on the straight path;

وَّاُخْرٰى لَمْ تَقْدِرُوْا عَلَيْهَا قَدْ اَحَاطَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرًا

wa ukhrā lam taqdirụ 'alaihā qad aḥāṭallāhu bihā, wa kānallāhu 'alā kulli syai`ing qadīrā

And other (benefits) which you have not yet obtained are within the compass of God for God has power over everything.

وَلَوْ قَاتَلَكُمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا لَوَلَّوُا الْاَدْبَارَ ثُمَّ لَا يَجِدُوْنَ وَلِيًّا وَّلَا نَصِيْرًا

walau qātalakumullażīna kafarụ lawallawul-adbāra ṡumma lā yajidụna waliyyaw wa lā naṣīrā

Had the unbelievers fought you they would have turned their backs and not found a protector or helper.

سُنَّةَ اللّٰهِ الَّتِيْ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ ۖوَلَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللّٰهِ تَبْدِيْلًا

sunnatallāhillatī qad khalat ming qabl, wa lan tajida lisunnatillāhi tabdīlā

This is the law of God effective as before: You will not find any change in the law of God.

وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ كَفَّ اَيْدِيَهُمْ عَنْكُمْ وَاَيْدِيَكُمْ عَنْهُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اَنْ اَظْفَرَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِيْرًا

wa huwallażī kaffa aidiyahum 'angkum wa aidiyakum 'an-hum bibaṭni makkata mim ba'di an aẓfarakum 'alaihim, wa kānallāhu bimā ta'malụna baṣīrā

It was He who restrained their hands from you in the heart of Makkah and your hands from them after He had given you victory over them as God sees all that you do.

هُمُ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَصَدُّوْكُمْ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَالْهَدْيَ مَعْكُوْفًا اَنْ يَّبْلُغَ مَحِلَّهٗ ۚوَلَوْلَا رِجَالٌ مُّؤْمِنُوْنَ وَنِسَاۤءٌ مُّؤْمِنٰتٌ لَّمْ تَعْلَمُوْهُمْ اَنْ تَطَـُٔوْهُمْ فَتُصِيْبَكُمْ مِّنْهُمْ مَّعَرَّةٌ ۢبِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۚ لِيُدْخِلَ اللّٰهُ فِيْ رَحْمَتِهٖ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُۚ لَوْ تَزَيَّلُوْا لَعَذَّبْنَا الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابًا اَلِيْمًا

humullażīna kafarụ wa ṣaddụkum 'anil-masjidil-ḥarāmi wal-hadya ma'kụfan ay yabluga maḥillah, walau lā rijālum mu`minụna wa nisā`um mu`minātul lam ta'lamụhum an taṭa'ụhum fa tuṣībakum min-hum ma'arratum bigairi 'ilm, liyudkhilallāhu fī raḥmatihī may yasyā`, lau tazayyalụ la'ażżabnallażīna kafarụ min-hum 'ażāban alīmā

It were those who disbelieved who hindered you from (going to) the Holy Mosque preventing your offerings from arriving at the place of sacrifice. Had it not been for (the presence of) believers men and women (among the unbelievers) of whom you were unaware and whom you might have trampled and thus incurred guilt unknowingly on account of them (the matter would have been settled). (But this was not done) so that God may admit into His favour whom He willed. If these (believers) had been separated from them He would have inflicted a grievous punishment on the unbelievers.

اِذْ جَعَلَ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا فِيْ قُلُوْبِهِمُ الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَاَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ سَكِيْنَتَهٗ عَلٰى رَسُوْلِهٖ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَاَلْزَمَهُمْ كَلِمَةَ التَّقْوٰى وَكَانُوْٓا اَحَقَّ بِهَا وَاَهْلَهَا ۗوَكَانَ اللّٰهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمًا

iż ja'alallażīna kafarụ fī qulụbihimul-ḥamiyyata ḥamiyyatal-jāhiliyyati fa anzalallāhu sakīnatahụ 'alā rasụlihī wa 'alal-mu`minīna wa alzamahum kalimatat-taqwā wa kānū aḥaqqa bihā wa ahlahā, wa kānallāhu bikulli syai`in 'alīmā

When the unbelievers fostered a sense of honour in their hearts a sense of pagan honour God sent down a sense of tranquility on His Apostle and the believers and obliged them to an act of self-restraint for they were deserving and worthy of it. God is cognisant of everything.

لَقَدْ صَدَقَ اللّٰهُ رَسُوْلَهُ الرُّءْيَا بِالْحَقِّ ۚ لَتَدْخُلُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ اِنْ شَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ اٰمِنِيْنَۙ مُحَلِّقِيْنَ رُءُوْسَكُمْ وَمُقَصِّرِيْنَۙ لَا تَخَافُوْنَ ۗفَعَلِمَ مَا لَمْ تَعْلَمُوْا فَجَعَلَ مِنْ دُوْنِ ذٰلِكَ فَتْحًا قَرِيْبًا

laqad ṣadaqallāhu rasụlahur-ru`yā bil-ḥaqq, latadkhulunnal-masjidal-ḥarāma in syā`allāhu āminīna muḥalliqīna ru`ụsakum wa muqaṣṣirīna lā takhāfụn, fa 'alima mā lam ta'lamụ fa ja'ala min dụni żālika fat-ḥang qarībā

God has truly made the vision of His Apostle come true: You will surely enter the Holy Mosque in security if God please without any fear having shaved your heads and cut your hair. He knew what you did not know and has vouchsafed you apart from this a victory near at hand.

هُوَ الَّذِيْٓ اَرْسَلَ رَسُوْلَهٗ بِالْهُدٰى وَدِيْنِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهٗ عَلَى الدِّيْنِ كُلِّهٖ ۗوَكَفٰى بِاللّٰهِ شَهِيْدًا

huwallażī arsala rasụlahụ bil-hudā wa dīnil-ḥaqqi liyuẓ-hirahụ 'alad-dīni kullih, wa kafā billāhi syahīdā

It is He who has sent His Apostle with the guidance and the TRUE faith so that He may exalt it over every other creed. God is sufficient as a witness.

مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ ۗوَالَّذِيْنَ مَعَهٗٓ اَشِدَّاۤءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاۤءُ بَيْنَهُمْ تَرٰىهُمْ رُكَّعًا سُجَّدًا يَّبْتَغُوْنَ فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِضْوَانًا ۖ سِيْمَاهُمْ فِيْ وُجُوْهِهِمْ مِّنْ اَثَرِ السُّجُوْدِ ۗذٰلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِى التَّوْرٰىةِ ۖوَمَثَلُهُمْ فِى الْاِنْجِيْلِۚ كَزَرْعٍ اَخْرَجَ شَطْـَٔهٗ فَاٰزَرَهٗ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوٰى عَلٰى سُوْقِهٖ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيْظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ ۗوَعَدَ اللّٰهُ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِنْهُمْ مَّغْفِرَةً وَّاَجْرًا عَظِيْمًا

Muhammad is the Prophet of God; and those who are with him are severe with infidels but compassionate among themselves. You may see them kneeling and bowing in reverence seeking His favour and acceptance. Their mark is on their foreheads from the effect of prostrations. Their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel is like a seed that sends out a stalk then makes it firm and it becomes strong and rises straight upon its stem gladdening the cultivator´s heart in order to fill the unbelievers with dismay. God has promised those who believe and do the right forgiveness and a great reward.
