Q13: Recite and explain Surat an-Nasr.

Answer: Surat an-Nasr and its Interpretation

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

{When there comes Allah’s help and the conquest, and you see people entering Allah’s religion in multitudes, then glorify the praise of your Lord, and ask His forgiveness. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of Repentance.} [Surat an-Nasr: 1-3]

Interpretation

1. {إِذَا جَآءَ نَصۡرُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡفَتۡحُ} : When Allah grants victory and strength to your religion - O Messenger - and when the Conquest of Makkah takes place.

2. {وَرَأَيۡتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدۡخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفۡوَاجٗا} : And you see people embracing Islam one delegation after the other.

3. {فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ تَوَّابَۢا} : You should know, then, that this is a sign that your mission is about to end. Thus, glorify the praise of your Lord, out of gratitude for His blessing of the victory and conquest, and seek His forgiveness, for indeed, He accepts the repentance of His slaves and forgives them.
