48. Sura al-Fath with Urdu Translation
Sura 48. al-Fath (Victory):
In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Ever-Merciful.
1. (O Esteemed Beloved!) Surely We decided for you a bright victory (and the dominance of Islam so that your great struggle may be completed with success),
2. So that Allah may forgive, for your sake, all the earlier and later sins (of all those people) of your Umma (Community, who struggled, fought and sacrificed by your command), and (this way) may complete His blessing on you (outwardly and inwardly) in the form of Islam’s victory and forgiveness for your Umma (Community), and may keep (your Umma) firm-footed on the straight path (through your mediation),
3. And so that Allah may grant you most honourable help and support.
4. He is the One Who sent down calmness and tranquillity into the hearts of the believers so that their faith gets increased with more faith (and the faith learnt — ‘the knowledge of certitude’ changes into the faith seen - ‘the eye of certitude’). And all the armies of the heavens and the earth belong to Allah alone. And Allah is All-Knowing, Most Wise.
5. (All these favours are put together) so that He may admit the believing men and women to the Gardens with streams flowing under them. They will live in them forever. And (moreover) He may remove from them their evil actions (as He has forgiven them their mistakes). And this is a great success (of the believers) in the sight of Allah.
6. (And so that) He may punish the hypocritical men and women and the polytheistic men and women who entertain evil assumptions about Allah. For them is (predestined) an evil turn of fortune. And Allah has afflicted them with His wrath, has cursed them and has prepared for them Hell. And that is a very evil resting place.
7. And all armies of the heavens and the earth belong to Allah alone. And Allah is Almighty, Most Wise.
8. Indeed We have sent you as an eyewitness (of the actions and the state of affairs of Umma (Community) to bear testimony on the Day of Reckoning) and as a Bearer of good news and as a Warner,
9. So that, (O people,) you may believe in Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and may help his (Din (Religion)), and revere and venerate him heart and soul, and (with that) glorify Allah morning and evening.
10. (O Beloved!) Indeed those who pledge allegiance to you in fact pledge allegiance to Allah alone. Allah’s hand is over their hands (in the form of your hand). Then whoever breaks his pledge breaks it only to his own harm. But he who fulfils what he has promised to Allah, He will bless him with immense reward.
11. Soon the Bedouins who lagged behind (from participating in al-Hudaibiya) will say to you (apologetically): ‘Our money matters and families kept us busy. (Therefore, we missed your company.) So ask forgiveness for us from Allah.’ They utter such (words) with their tongues that are not in their hearts. Say: ‘Who has the power to save you against (the decision) of Allah if He intends to do you harm or if He intends to do you good? But Allah is Well Aware of what you do.
12. No, in fact you thought that the Messenger and the believers (his Companions) would never return to their families now and (your ill-commanding selves) made that (thought) seem to your hearts far fascinating. And you imagined a highly evil speculation and became a people bound to perish.’
13. And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), then We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers.
14. And the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah alone. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Ever-Merciful.
15. When you will set out to collect spoils (of al-Khaibar), those who remained behind (in the march towards al-Hudaibiya) will say: ‘Allow us also to follow you.’ They seek to alter Allah’s Words. Say: ‘You shall by no means follow us. Allah said the same beforehand.’ So now they will say: ‘In fact you are jealous of us.’ The truth is that they understand (the Truth) but little.
16. Say to the Bedouins lagging behind: ‘You will be called up soon (to fight) against a hard-hitting warring people. Then you will fight them on (for the promotion of peace and human dignity) or they will become Muslims. So if you obey the command, Allah will give you an excellent reward. But if you turn away as you did before, He will make you suffer from an agonizing torment.’
17. There is no blame on the blind or the lame or the sick (for missing fighting). And He who obeys Allah and His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him), He will admit him to the Gardens with streams flowing under them. But whoever turns away (from obedience), He will punish him with grievous torment.
18. Surely Allah was well pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you under the tree (at al-Hudaibiya). So the (passion of truth and fidelity) that permeated their hearts, Allah had its knowledge and sent down an exceptional calmness and tranquillity (into their hearts and awarded them the forthcoming victory (of Khaibar),
19. And (also) the abundant spoils that they are taking and Allah is Almighty, Most Wise.
20. And Allah has promised you abundant spoils (resulting from many victories) which you will win, but He has hastened to you this (booty of Khaibar) and has held back from you the hands of the people (of Makka, Khaibar, Bani Asad and Ghatafan tribes and all other enemies), so that it may become a Sign for the believers (of the forthcoming triumph and victory) and that He may keep you treading the straight road (firm-footed, and with the tranquillity of hearts).
21. And other (big victories of Makka, Hawazin and Hunain, then Persia and Rome) over which you had no power — surely Allah has also encompassed them (for you) and Allah wields Absolute Power over everything.
22. And, (O Blievers,) if the disbelievers had fought with you (at al-Hudaibiya), they would certainly have fled turning their backs and found no friend and helper. (But Allah intended to open the door to you not only of this but many other victories as well.)
23. (This) is Allah’s pattern that has been established through time and you will never find any change in the Laws of Allah.
24. And He is the One Who held back the hands of those (disbelievers) from you and your hands from them on the frontier of Makka (near al- Hudaibiya) after giving you the upper hand over their (party). And Allah best monitors what you do.
25. It is they who disbelieved and hindered you from the Sacred Mosque, and prevented the sacrificial animals as well that were kept from reaching their place. And had there not been many such believing men and women (present in Makka) as you also did not know that you might crush them underfoot without knowing, and some harm and hardship might also be caused to you by them inadvertently, (We would have allowed you there and then to fight. But the victory of Makka was delayed) so that Allah might admit to His Mercy whom He willed. Had (the disbelievers and the believers there) distinguishably drawn apart from one another, We would have punished the disbelievers with a painful torment.
26. While the disbelievers anchored in their hearts the conceited obstinacy (which was) stubbornness and egocentricity of the days of ignorance, Allah sent down on His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) and the believers an exceptional calmness and tranquillity and made them firm on the Word of Godwariness. And it is this that they were most entitled to and (also) worthy of. And Allah knows everything full well.
27. Surely Allah showed to His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) the dream exactly true to the reality that, if Allah wills, you will most certainly enter the Sacred Mosque safely, (some) with heads shaved and (some) with hair cut short, (in a state of) having no fear. So He knew (the al-Hudaibiya Treaty as a preamble to the Truth of the dream) which you did not know and gave you an immediate victory (the victory of Khaibar even before the victory of Makka, soon after returning from al-Hudaibiya. The next year He bestowed the victory of Makka and entry to the Sacred Mosque.)
28. He is the One Who sent His Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) with guidance and the Din (Religion) of Truth to make it prevail over all other religions. And Allah is Sufficient as a witness (to the Truthfulness and Trueness of the Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him)).
29. Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard and tough against the disbelievers but kind-hearted and merciful among themselves. You see them excessively bowing and prostrating themselves. They simply seek Allah’s grace and pleasure. Their mark is an impression of prostrations on their faces (prominent on the foreheads as light). These traits of theirs are (mentioned) in the Torah and the (same) qualities are also (described) in Injil (the Gospel). These (Companions) are like a cultivated crop (of Our Esteemed Beloved) which (first of all) brought forth its thin shoot, then made it powerful and strong and then it thickened and stood straight on its stalk. (And when it flourished, bloomed and danced) it delighted and charmed the cultivators. (Allah has, likewise, made the Companions of His Beloved strong, grown up Trees of Faith,) so that by means of them He may make the hearts of the disbelievers blaze up (that burn in the jealousy of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (blessings and peace be upon him)). Those who believe and do pious works, Allah has promised them forgiveness and an immense reward.
