The Victory

Surely, We have given to you a manifest Conquest,

that Allah may replaces your past and future sins with good and complete His Gift on you and deliver you to Sıratı Mustakîm (the path of guidance that leads to Allah),

and that Allah may help you with a mighty victory.

He it is Who sends down As-Sakînah (tranquillity light) in the hearts of the believers so that they may have more of Faith added to their Faith. Allah’s are the armies of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All- Wise.

That (He) introduce the believing men and the believing women to enter paradise under which the rivers flow to abide therein forever, and cover their sins. That is indeed the Supreme Salvation with Allah.

And that He may torment the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women, and the polytheists men and the polytheists women, which assumed about Allah with evil conjectures. May their evil (conjectures) turn on them. And Allah’s Wrath is upon them and He cursed them and prepared Hell for them. How terrible abode.

And Allah’s is the armies of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Ever Majestic, All-Wise.

Surely, We have sent you as a witness and as a bearer of glad tidings and as a Warner,

that you may believe in Allah and His Messenger, exalt Him and glorify Him morning and evening.

Surely, by obeying you, they obey Allah! Above their hands is the hand of Allah (since Allah acting your whole body, He is also acting your hands). Whoever breaks (his promise) after that, then he breaks only against his own soul (since he does not fulfil his words, promises and oaths given to Allah, he lowers his degrees to fall to negative). And whoever fulfils their promises (word, oaths and promises) given to Allah, then he will be granted the Greatest Reward (happiness of paradise and earthly life)!

Amongst the Arabs who lagged behind (did not take part in the battle) will say to you: “Our possessions and our families kept us occupied, so ask forgiveness for us”. They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say: “Who then has any power at all to prevent any thing (coming) from Allah if He intends to do you harm or if He intends to do you good? Nay (no way), Allah is Ever All-Aware of what you do”.

Nay! You rather assumed that the Messenger and the believers would not return to their families ever, and this (assumption) was made fair-seeming in your hearts. You assumed an evil conjecture and you became a people worthy to perish.

And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Messenger, then surely, We have prepared for the disbelievers a blazing Fire (hell).

And Allah’s is the Dominion of the heavens and the earth. He forgives (replaces sins with good) whom He wills and torments whom He wills, and Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving (Replacing sins with good), Most Merciful (Acting with His name Mercy, Sending light Mercy).

Those who lagged behind (from the battle) will say when you go forth to take the bounty: “Allow us to follow you”.They want to change the Word of Allah. Say (to them): “You can never follow us. Allah ordered such before”. Then (they) will say: “Nay! You are jealous of us”. Nay, they do not understand, except a little.

Say to the Bedouin Arabs who lagged behind that: “You will be called (to fight) against a people possessing mighty prowess. Either you kill them, or they surrender. Then if you obey (Allah), Allah will give you a handsome reward; and if you turn back as you turned back before, He will torment you with a painful torment”.

There is no difficulty (responsibility) for the blind, the lame, and the sick. Whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, (Allah) puts them in paradises under which the rivers flow, and whoever turns back, He will torment with a painful torment.

Certainly Allah was pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance to you under that tree, and He knew what was in their hearts. So He sent down As-Sakînah (tranquility light) on them and He rewarded them with a near conquest,

and there is abundant booty (in the castle of Khaibar). They take them. And Allah is Ever Majestic, All-Wise.

Allah has promised you much booty that you will take. So, He has hastened for you this, and He has restrained the hands of others from you. And that it may be a Sign for the believers and that He may deliver you to Sıratı Mustakîm (the path of guidance that leads to Allah).

And there are still others (trophies) not reached by you, but embraced by Allah and Allah has Power over all things!

And if those who disbelieve had fought you, they would certainly have turned their backs (they would have run away), then they would not have found any friend nor a helper.

This is the SunnetAllâh (Law of Allah) that has endured since the immemorial time, and you cannot find a change in the SunnetAllâh.

And He it is Who held back their hands from you and your hands from them in the midst of Makkah, after He had made you victors over them. And Allah is Ever All-Seeing of what you do.

They are the disbelievers and (they) hindered you from Masjid-al Harâm and detained the sacrificial animals from reaching their place (of sacrifice). If there were not believing men and believing women, whom, you have not known yet that you will ruin (without knowing), thus if there was not an affliction to touch you from them without (your) knowledge (Allah would have allowed you to fight). (Allah not to allow the battle is) that Allah may include into His Mercy whomsoever He wills. If (the believers from the unbelievers) had been separated, We would certainly have tormented those who disbelieved from among them with a painful torment.

When the disbelievers had set up in their hearts the zealotry of ignorance, then Allah sent down His Sakînah (calmness and light tranquility) upon His Messenger and the believers, and the Word of takwa (spiritual armor) has been justified upon them (they deserved takwa). And they were well entitled to it (to be the owners of takwa) and they became worthy of it. And Allah is All- Knowing of everything.

Verily Allah has affirmed that the dream of His Messenger was the truth. If Allah wills, you will most certainly enter Masjid-al Harâm (the Sacred Mosque), in security, having your heads shaved and (hair) shortened, without any fear. But as Allah knows what you do not know, He brought about a near conquest (to you) other than that (before that).

He is Who sent His Messenger with Return (with submission) and the True Religion that He may explain (that religion is the only one) to all other (representatives) religions and Allah is All-Sufficient as a Witness.

The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad and those who are with him are severe against the disbelievers, compassionate among themselves. You see them bowing down, prostrating themselves, and seeking Generosity (and light) and Pleasure from Allah. Their significance is the marks of prostration on their faces. These are their characteristics in the Torah and the Bible. Like the crop which sends forth its sprout, then makes it strong, therefore it becomes thick, finally grows on its stem, delighting the farmers. That He may enrage the disbelievers with them. And Allah has promised those among them who believe (who are âmenû, who wish their spirits to reach Allah while they are alive) and do righteous deeds (that cleanse the soul’s heart), the replacement of sins with good and a Mighty Reward.
