Surah Al-Fatĥ (The Victory) in English

1. إن الذين يبايعونك إنما يبايعون الله يد الله فوق أيديهم فمن نكث فإنما ينكث على نفسه ومن أوفى بما عاهد عليه الله فسيؤتيه أجرا عظيما

   10

   Indeed those who swear allegiance to you, swear allegiance only to Allah: the hand of Allah is above their hands. Then whosoever breaks his oath, breaks it only to his own detriment, and whoever fulfills the covenant he has made with Allah, He will give him a great reward.

   ʾinna lladhīna yubāyiʿūnaka ʾinnamā yubāyiʿūna llāha yadu llāhi fawqa ʾaydīhim fa-man nakatha fa-ʾinnamā yankuthu ʿalā nafsihī wa-man ʾawfā bi-mā ʿāhada ʿalayhu llāha fa-sa-yuʾtīhi ʾajran ʿaẓīman

2. سيقول لك المخلفون من الأعراب شغلتنا أموالنا وأهلونا فاستغفر لنا يقولون بألسنتهم ما ليس في قلوبهم قل فمن يملك لكم من الله شيئا إن أراد بكم ضرا أو أراد بكم نفعا بل كان الله بما تعملون خبيرا

   11

   The Bedouins who had stayed back [from joining the Prophet in his ‘umrah journey to Makkah] will tell you, ‘Our possessions and families kept us occupied. So plead [to Allah] for our forgiveness!’ They will say with their tongues what is not in their hearts. Say, ‘Whether He desires to cause you harm or desires to bring you benefit, who can be of any avail to you against Allah[’s will]? Indeed Allah is well aware of what you do.’

   sa-yaqūlu laka l-mukhallafūna mina l-ʾaʿrābi shaghalatnā ʾamwālunā wa-ʾahlūnā fa-staghfir lanā yaqūlūna bi-ʾalsinatihim mā laysa fī qulūbihim qul fa-man yamliku lakum mina llāhi shayʾan ʾin ʾarāda bikum ḍarran ʾaw ʾarāda bikum nafʿan bal kāna llāhu bi-mā taʿmalūna khabīran

3. بل ظننتم أن لن ينقلب الرسول والمؤمنون إلى أهليهم أبدا وزين ذلك في قلوبكم وظننتم ظن السوء وكنتم قوما بورا

   12

   Rather, you thought that the Apostle and the faithful will not ever return to their folks, and that was made to seem decorous to your hearts; you entertained evil thoughts, and you were a ruined lot.

   bal ẓanantum ʾan lan yanqaliba r-rasūlu wa-l-muʾminūna ʾilā ʾahlīhim ʾabadan wa-zuyyina dhālika fī qulūbikum wa-ẓanantum ẓanna s-sawʾi wa-kuntum qawman būran

4. ومن لم يؤمن بالله ورسوله فإنا أعتدنا للكافرين سعيرا

   13

   Those who have no faith in Allah and His Apostle [should know that] We have prepared a blaze for the faithless.

   wa-man lam yuʾmin bi-llāhi wa-rasūlihī fa-ʾinnā ʾaʿtadnā li-l-kāfirīna saʿīran

5. ولله ملك السماوات والأرض يغفر لمن يشاء ويعذب من يشاء وكان الله غفورا رحيما

   14

   To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth: He forgives whomever He wishes, and punishes whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.

   wa-li-llāhi mulku s-samāwāti wa-l-ʾarḍi yaghfiru li-man yashāʾu wa-yuʿadhdhibu man yashāʾu wa-kāna llāhu ghafūran raḥīman

6. سيقول المخلفون إذا انطلقتم إلى مغانم لتأخذوها ذرونا نتبعكم يريدون أن يبدلوا كلام الله قل لن تتبعونا كذلكم قال الله من قبل فسيقولون بل تحسدوننا بل كانوا لا يفقهون إلا قليلا

   15

   [In the near future] when you will set out to capture booty, those who stayed behind [in this journey] will say, : ‘Let us follow you.’ They desire to change the word of Allah. Say, ‘You will never follow us! Allah has said thus beforehand.’ Then they will say, ‘You are envious of us.’ Indeed, they do not understand but a little.

   sa-yaqūlu l-mukhallafūna ʾidhā nṭalaqtum ʾilā maghānima li-taʾkhudhūhā dharūnā nattabiʿkum yurīdūna ʾan yubaddilū kalāma llāhi qul lan tattabiʿūnā ka-dhālikum qāla llāhu min qablu fa-sa-yaqūlūna bal taḥsudūnanā bal kānū lā yafqahūna ʾillā qalīlan
