Surah Al-Fatĥ (The Victory) in English

1. وهو الذي كف أيديهم عنكم وأيديكم عنهم ببطن مكة من بعد أن أظفركم عليهم وكان الله بما تعملون بصيرا

   24

   It is He who withheld their hands from you, and your hands from them, in the valley of Makkah, after He had given you victory over them, and Allah sees best what you do.

   wa-huwa lladhī kaffa ʾaydiyahum ʿankum wa-ʾaydiyakum ʿanhum bi-baṭni makkata min baʿdi ʾan ʾaẓfarakum ʿalayhim wa-kāna llāhu bi-mā taʿmalūna baṣīran

2. هم الذين كفروا وصدوكم عن المسجد الحرام والهدي معكوفا أن يبلغ محله ولولا رجال مؤمنون ونساء مؤمنات لم تعلموهم أن تطئوهم فتصيبكم منهم معرة بغير علم ليدخل الله في رحمته من يشاء لو تزيلوا لعذبنا الذين كفروا منهم عذابا أليما

   25

   They are the ones who disbelieved and barred you from the Sacred Mosque, and kept the offering from reaching its destination. And were it not for [certain] faithful men and faithful women, whom you did not know—lest you should trample them, and thus the blame for [killing] them should fall on you unawares; [He held you back] so that Allah may admit into His mercy whomever He wishes. Had they been separate, We would have surely punished the faithless among them with a painful punishment.

   humu lladhīna kafarū wa-ṣaddūkum ʿani l-masjidi l-ḥarāmi wa-l-hadya maʿkūfan ʾan yablugha maḥillahū wa-law-lā rijālun muʾminūna wa-nisāʾun muʾminātun lam taʿlamūhum ʾan taṭʾūhum fa-tuṣībakum minhum maʿarratun bi-ghayri ʿilmin li-yudkhila llāhu fī raḥmatihī man yashāʾu law tazayyalū la-ʾadhdhabnā lladhīna kafarū minhum ʿadhāban ʾalīman

3. إذ جعل الذين كفروا في قلوبهم الحمية حمية الجاهلية فأنزل الله سكينته على رسوله وعلى المؤمنين وألزمهم كلمة التقوى وكانوا أحق بها وأهلها وكان الله بكل شيء عليما

   26

   When the faithless nourished bigotry in their hearts, the bigotry of pagan ignorance, Allah sent down His composure upon His Apostle and the faithful, and made them abide by the word of Godwariness, for they were the worthiest of it and deserved it, and Allah has knowledge of all things.

   ʾidh jaʿala lladhīna kafarū fī qulūbihimu l-ḥamiyyata ḥamiyyata l-jāhiliyyati fa-ʾanzala llāhu sakīnatahū ʿalā rasūlihī wa-ʿalā l-muʾminīna wa-ʾalzamahum kalimata t-taqwā wa-kānū ʾaḥaqqa bihā wa-ʾahlahā wa-kāna llāhu bi-kulli shayʾin ʿalīman

4. لقد صدق الله رسوله الرؤيا بالحق لتدخلن المسجد الحرام إن شاء الله آمنين محلقين رءوسكم ومقصرين لا تخافون فعلم ما لم تعلموا فجعل من دون ذلك فتحا قريبا

   27

   Certainly Allah has fulfilled His Apostle’s vision in all truth: You will surely enter the Sacred Mosque, God willing, in safety and without any fear, with your heads shaven or hair cropped. So He knew what you did not know, and He assigned [you] besides that a victory near at hand.

   la-qad ṣadaqa llāhu rasūlahu r-ruʾyā bi-l-ḥaqqi la-tadkhulunna l-masjida l-ḥarāma ʾin shāʾa llāhu ʾāminīna muḥalliqīna ruʾūsakum wa-muqaṣṣirīna lā takhāfūna fa-ʿalima mā lam taʿlamū fa-jaʿala min dūni dhālika fatḥan qarīban

5. هو الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق ليظهره على الدين كله وكفى بالله شهيدا

   28

   It is He who has sent His Apostle with guidance and the true religion, that He may make it prevail over all religions, and Allah suffices as witness.

   huwa lladhī ʾarsala rasūlahū bi-l-hudā wa-dīni l-ḥaqqi li-yuẓhirahū ʿalā d-dīni kullihī wa-kafā bi-llāhi shahīdan
