In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful
We have granted you a conspicuous victory
That God may forgive you your sin, past and to come, and complete His favors upon you, and guide you in a straight path
And help you with an unwavering support
It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the believers, to add faith to their faith
To God belong the forces of the heavens and the earth
God is Knowing and Wise
He will admit the believers, male and female, into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever, and He will remit their sins
That, with God, is a great triumph
And He will punish the hypocrites, male and female, and the idolaters, male and female, those who harbor evil thoughts about God
They are surrounded by evil; and God is angry with them, and has cursed them, and has prepared for them Hell-a miserable destination
To God belong the troops of the heavens and the earth
God is Mighty and Wise
We sent you as a witness, and a bearer of good news, and a warner
That you may believe in God and His Messenger, and support Him, and honor Him, and praise Him morning and evening
Those who pledge allegiance to you are pledging allegiance to God
The hand of God is over their hands
Whoever breaks his pledge breaks it to his own loss
And whoever fulfills his covenant with God, He will grant him a great reward
The Desert-Arabs who remained behind will say to you, “Our belongings and our families have preoccupied us, so ask forgiveness for us.” They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts
Say, “Who can avail you anything against God, if He desires loss for you, or desires gain for you?” In fact, God is Informed of what you do
But you thought that the Messenger and the believers will never return to their families, and this seemed fine to your hearts; and you harbored evil thoughts, and were uncivilized people
He who does not believe in God and His Messenger-We have prepared for the disbelievers a Blazing Fire
To God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth
He forgives whomever He wills, and He punishes whomever He wills
God is Forgiving and Merciful
Those who lagged behind will say when you depart to collect the gains, “Let us follow you.” They want to change the Word of God
Say, “You will not follow us; God has said so before.” Then they will say, “But you are jealous of us.” In fact, they understand only a little
Say to the Desert-Arabs who lagged behind, “You will be called against a people of great might; you will fight them, unless they submit
If you obey, God will give you a fine reward
But if you turn away, as you turned away before, He will punish you with a painful punishment.” There is no blame on the blind, nor any blame on the lame, nor any blame on the sick
Whoever obeys God and His Messenger-He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow; but whoever turns away-He will punish him with a painful punishment
God was pleased with the believers, when they pledged allegiance to you under the tree
He knew what was in their hearts, and sent down serenity upon them, and rewarded them with an imminent conquest
And abundant gains for them to capture
God is Mighty and Wise
God has promised you abundant gains, which you will capture
He has expedited this for you, and has restrained people’s hands from you; that it may be a sign to the believers, and that He may guide you on a straight path
And other things, of which you were incapable, but God has encompassed them
God is Capable of everything
If those who disbelieve had fought you, they would have turned back and fled, then found neither protector nor helper
It is God’s pattern, ongoing since the past
You will never find any change in God’s pattern
It is He who withheld their hands from you, and your hands from them, in the valley of Mecca, after giving you advantage over them
God is Observer of what you do
It is they who disbelieved, and barred you from the Sacred Mosque, and prevented the offering from reaching its destination
Were it not for faithful men and faithful women, whom you did not know, you were about to hurt them, and became guilty of an unintentional crime
Thus God admits into His mercy whomever He wills
Had they dispersed, We would have punished those who disbelieved among them with a painful penalty
Those who disbelieved filled their hearts with rage-the rage of the days of ignorance
But God sent His serenity down upon His Messenger, and upon the believers, and imposed on them the words of righteousness-of which they were most worthy and deserving
God is aware of everything
God has fulfilled His Messenger’s vision in truth: “You will enter the Sacred Mosque, God willing, in security, heads shaven, or hair cut short, not fearing
He knew what you did not know, and has granted besides that an imminent victory
It is He who sent His Messenger with the guidance and the religion of truth, to make it prevail over all religions
God suffices as Witness
Muhammad is the Messenger of God
Those with him are stern against the disbelievers, yet compassionate amongst themselves
You see them kneeling, prostrating, seeking blessings from God and approval
Their marks are on their faces from the effects of prostration
Such is their description in the Torah, and their description in the Gospel: like a plant that sprouts, becomes strong, grows thick, and rests on its stem, impressing the farmers
Through them He enrages the disbelievers
God has promised those among them who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great reward
