Victory

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

[48:1]

Lo! We have given thee (O Muhammad) a signal victory,

[48:2]

That Allah may forgive thee of thy sin that which is past and that which is to come, and may perfect His favour unto thee, and may guide thee on a right path,

[48:3]

And that Allah may help thee with strong help -

[48:4]

He it is Who sent down peace of reassurance into the hearts of the believers that they might add faith unto their faith. Allah’s are the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is ever Knower, Wise -

[48:5]

That He may bring the believing men and the believing women into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide, and may remit from them their evil deeds - That, in the sight of Allah, is the supreme triumph -

[48:6]

And may punish the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women, and the idolatrous men and the idolatrous women, who think an evil thought concerning Allah. For them is the evil turn of fortune, and Allah is wroth against them and hath cursed them, and hath made ready for them hell, a hapless journey’s end.

[48:7]

Allah’s are the hosts of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is ever Mighty, Wise.

[48:8]

Lo! We have sent thee (O Muhammad) as a witness and a bearer of good tidings and a warner,

[48:9]

That ye (mankind) may believe in Allah and His messenger, and may honour Him, and may revere Him, and may glorify Him at early dawn and at the close of day.
