An-Nasr
110th chapter of the Qur'an
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An-Naá¹£r (Arabic: اÙÙÙÙصÙر, romanized: an-naá¹£r, lit.â'Help',[1] or '[Divine] Support') is the 110th chapter (sÅ«rah) of the Qur'an with 3 ÄyÄt or verses.
- Û[2] WHEN the assistance of Allah shall come, and the victory;
- Û and thou shalt see the people enter into the religion of Allah by troops:
- Û celebrate the praise of thy LORD, and ask pardon of him; for he is inclined to forgive.[3]
An-Nasr translates to English as both "the victory" and "the help or assistance". It is the second-shortest surah after Al-Kawthar. Surah 112 (al-IkhlÄá¹£) actually has fewer words in Arabic than Surah An-Naá¹£r, yet it has four verses.[4]

Summary
- 1â3 Command to praise God for the victory of Islam [5]
The surah praises Allah for leading numerous people to Islam. This surah is also known as "The Victory" as in the victory of Islam as it refers to the conquest of Mecca where Muslims beat the enemies of Islam.
According to Tafsir ibn Kathir, this surah is equal to 1/4 of the Quran. This was the last surah to be revealed, only a few months before Muhammad's death.[4]
The first ayah means that with God's help, the Muslims prevailed. The second ayah means that after the battle crowds of people came to accept Islam. The third ayah means that God allowed people to join Islam and gave them a second chance no matter how harsh their crimes are, because God is the all-forgiving to humankind.[4]
