The surah that opens by acclaiming the manifest Victory or Triumph of peace that God accorded His Prophet in the truce he agreed to with the Meccans at a place called Ḥudaybiyyah. It takes its name from verse 1 wherein “victory” (fatḥ) is mentioned. The surah makes reference to the occasion when the Prophet had a vision that he and his followers would be performing pilgrimage to Mecca (verse 27). They set out, but the Meccans decided to bar them at Ḥudaybiyyah from reaching the town and sent emissaries to have discussions with the Prophet. In the end the Prophet signed a treaty that he and the believers would not enter Mecca that year, but would do so the next year. Seeing the long-term significance of this treaty, in the interests of peace he agreed to a truce often years during which time, if any Meccan went over to his side, he would return him to the Meccans, but if any of his people went over to the Meccans, they would not return them. Throughout the surah the Prophet is assured that this treaty that God has given him is a great breakthrough (verse 1., verse 18 . and verse 27). The believers are reassured that their self-restraint and obedience to the Prophet were inspired by God (verse 4 . and verse 24 .). The surah condemns both the hypocrites in Medina (verse 6) and the idolaters of Mecca (verse 6 and verse 26) and closes by praising the believers (verse 29).The surah is also known as: Conquest, The Manifest Triumph, Triumph.

هُوَ الَّذي أَنزَلَ السَّكينَةَ في قُلوبِ المُؤمِنينَ لِيَزدادوا إيمانًا مَعَ إيمانِهِم ۗ وَلِلَّهِ جُنودُ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ عَليمًا حَكيمًا

إِنَّ الَّذينَ يُبايِعونَكَ إِنَّما يُبايِعونَ اللَّهَ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوقَ أَيديهِم ۚ فَمَن نَكَثَ فَإِنَّما يَنكُثُ عَلىٰ نَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن أَوفىٰ بِما عاهَدَ عَلَيهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤتيهِ أَجرًا عَظيمًا

سَيَقولُ لَكَ المُخَلَّفونَ مِنَ الأَعرابِ شَغَلَتنا أَموالُنا وَأَهلونا فَاستَغفِر لَنا ۚ يَقولونَ بِأَلسِنَتِهِم ما لَيسَ في قُلوبِهِم ۚ قُل فَمَن يَملِكُ لَكُم مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيئًا إِن أَرادَ بِكُم ضَرًّا أَو أَرادَ بِكُم نَفعًا ۚ بَل كانَ اللَّهُ بِما تَعمَلونَ خَبيرًا

The Bedouins who were left behind will tell you,‘Our possessions and our families kept us occupied.So plead [to Allah] for our forgiveness!’They say with their tongueswhat is not in their hearts.Say, ‘Who can be of any avail to you against Allah,should He desire to cause you harmor desire to bring you benefit?Rather Allah is well aware of what you do.’
12
بَل ظَنَنتُم أَن لَن يَنقَلِبَ الرَّسولُ وَالمُؤمِنونَ إِلىٰ أَهليهِم أَبَدًا وَزُيِّنَ ذٰلِكَ في قُلوبِكُم وَظَنَنتُم ظَنَّ السَّوءِ وَكُنتُم قَومًا بورًا

Rather you thoughtthat the Apostle and the faithful will not returnto their folk ever,and that was made to seem decorous to your hearts,and you entertained evil thoughts,and you were a ruined lot.
13
وَمَن لَم يُؤمِن بِاللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ فَإِنّا أَعتَدنا لِلكافِرينَ سَعيرًا

Those who were left to stay behind will say,when you set out to capture booty:‘Let us follow you.’They desire to change the word of Allah.Say, ‘You shall never follow us!Thus has Allah said beforehand.’Then they will say, ‘You are envious of us.’Rather they do not understand but a little.
16
قُل لِلمُخَلَّفينَ مِنَ الأَعرابِ سَتُدعَونَ إِلىٰ قَومٍ أُولي بَأسٍ شَديدٍ تُقاتِلونَهُم أَو يُسلِمونَ ۖ فَإِن تُطيعوا يُؤتِكُمُ اللَّهُ أَجرًا حَسَنًا ۖ وَإِن تَتَوَلَّوا كَما تَوَلَّيتُم مِن قَبلُ يُعَذِّبكُم عَذابًا أَليمًا

Say to the Bedouins who were left to stay behind,‘You will be called against a peopleof a great might:they will embrace Islam, or you will fight them.So if you obey, Allah will give you a good reward;but if you turn away like you turned away before,He will punish you with a painful punishment.’
17
لَيسَ عَلَى الأَعمىٰ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى الأَعرَجِ حَرَجٌ وَلا عَلَى المَريضِ حَرَجٌ ۗ وَمَن يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسولَهُ يُدخِلهُ جَنّاتٍ تَجري مِن تَحتِهَا الأَنهارُ ۖ وَمَن يَتَوَلَّ يُعَذِّبهُ عَذابًا أَليمًا

There is no blame on the blind,nor is there any blame on the lame,nor is there blame on the sick;and whoever obeys Allah and His Apostle,He will admit him into gardenswith streams running in them,and whoever refuses to comply,He will punish him with a painful punishment.
18
۞ لَقَد رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنِ المُؤمِنينَ إِذ يُبايِعونَكَ تَحتَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَعَلِمَ ما في قُلوبِهِم فَأَنزَلَ السَّكينَةَ عَلَيهِم وَأَثابَهُم فَتحًا قَريبًا

Allah was certainly pleased with the faithfulwhen they swore allegiance to you under the tree.He knew what was in their hearts,so He sent down composure on them,and requited them with a victory near at hand

Allah has promised you abundant spoilswhich you will capture.He has expedited this one for you,and withheld men’s hands from you,so that it may be a sign for the faithful,and that He may guide you to a straight path.
21
وَأُخرىٰ لَم تَقدِروا عَلَيها قَد أَحاطَ اللَّهُ بِها ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرًا
wa-ʾukhrā lam taqdirū ʿalayhā qad ʾaḥāṭa llāhu bihā wa-kāna llāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīran
And other [spoils]which you have not yet captured:Allah has comprehended them,and Allah has power over all things.
22
وَلَو قاتَلَكُمُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا لَوَلَّوُا الأَدبارَ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدونَ وَلِيًّا وَلا نَصيرًا
wa-law qātalakumu lladhīna kafarū la-wallawu l-ʾadbāra thumma lā yajidūna waliyyan wa-lā naṣīran
If the faithless fight you,they will turn their backs [to flee].Then they will not find any protector or helper.

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.
25
هُمُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا وَصَدّوكُم عَنِ المَسجِدِ الحَرامِ وَالهَديَ مَعكوفًا أَن يَبلُغَ مَحِلَّهُ ۚ وَلَولا رِجالٌ مُؤمِنونَ وَنِساءٌ مُؤمِناتٌ لَم تَعلَموهُم أَن تَطَئوهُم فَتُصيبَكُم مِنهُم مَعَرَّةٌ بِغَيرِ عِلمٍ ۖ لِيُدخِلَ اللَّهُ في رَحمَتِهِ مَن يَشاءُ ۚ لَو تَزَيَّلوا لَعَذَّبنَا الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِنهُم عَذابًا أَليمًا

They are the ones who disbelievedand barred you from the Sacred Mosque,and kept the offering from reaching its destination.And were it not for [certain] faithful menand faithful women,whom you did not know—lest you should trample them,and thus blame for [killing] them should fall on youunawares;1 [He held you back]so that Allah may admit into His mercywhomever He wishes.And had they been separate,We would have surely punished the faithlessamong themwith a painful punishment.Ellipsis; the omitted phrase is ‘We would have given you a free hand against them.’
26
إِذ جَعَلَ الَّذينَ كَفَروا في قُلوبِهِمُ الحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الجاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكينَتَهُ عَلىٰ رَسولِهِ وَعَلَى المُؤمِنينَ وَأَلزَمَهُم كَلِمَةَ التَّقوىٰ وَكانوا أَحَقَّ بِها وَأَهلَها ۚ وَكانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمًا

When the faithless nourishedbigotry in their hearts,the bigotry of pagan ignorance,Allah sent down His composureupon His Apostle and upon 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.
27
لَقَد صَدَقَ اللَّهُ رَسولَهُ الرُّؤيا بِالحَقِّ ۖ لَتَدخُلُنَّ المَسجِدَ الحَرامَ إِن شاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنينَ مُحَلِّقينَ رُءوسَكُم وَمُقَصِّرينَ لا تَخافونَ ۖ فَعَلِمَ ما لَم تَعلَموا فَجَعَلَ مِن دونِ ذٰلِكَ فَتحًا قَريبًا
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
Certainly Allah has fulfilled His Apostle’s visionin all truth:You will surely enter the Sacred Mosque,God willing,in safety,with your heads shaven or hair cropped,without any fear.So He knew what you did not know,and He assigned [you] besides thata victory near at hand.
28
هُوَ الَّذي أَرسَلَ رَسولَهُ بِالهُدىٰ وَدينِ الحَقِّ لِيُظهِرَهُ عَلَى الدّينِ كُلِّهِ ۚ وَكَفىٰ بِاللَّهِ شَهيدًا

It is He who has sent His Apostle with guidanceand the true religion,that He may make it prevail over all religions,and Allah suffices as witness.
29
مُحَمَّدٌ رَسولُ اللَّهِ ۚ وَالَّذينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدّاءُ عَلَى الكُفّارِ رُحَماءُ بَينَهُم ۖ تَراهُم رُكَّعًا سُجَّدًا يَبتَغونَ فَضلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضوانًا ۖ سيماهُم في وُجوهِهِم مِن أَثَرِ السُّجودِ ۚ ذٰلِكَ مَثَلُهُم فِي التَّوراةِ ۚ وَمَثَلُهُم فِي الإِنجيلِ كَزَرعٍ أَخرَجَ شَطأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ فَاستَغلَظَ فَاستَوىٰ عَلىٰ سوقِهِ يُعجِبُ الزُّرّاعَ لِيَغيظَ بِهِمُ الكُفّارَ ۗ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ آمَنوا وَعَمِلُوا الصّالِحاتِ مِنهُم مَغفِرَةً وَأَجرًا عَظيمًا

Muhammad, the Apostle of Allah,and those who are with himare hard against the faithlessand merciful amongst themselves.You see them bowing and prostrating [in worship],seeking Allah’s grace and [His] pleasure.Their mark is [visible] on their faces,from the effect of prostration.Such is their description in the Torahand their description in the Evangel.Like a tillagethat sends out its shoots and builds them up,and they grow stoutand settle on their stalks,impressing the sowers,so that He may enrage the faithless by them.Allah has promised thoseof them who have faith and do righteous deedsforgiveness and a great reward.
