Preserve him]
Imaam and Khateeb of Masjid an-Nabawee and a Senior Judge in
the High Court in Madeenah
إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ {1}
وَرَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا {2}
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ
تَوَّابًا {3}
1.
When
comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad) against your enemies) and the
conquest (of Makkah),2. And you see that the people enter Allah's religion (Islam) in crowds,
3. So glorify the Praises of your Lord, and ask for His Forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and forgives.
[Al-Nasr
110:1-3]
It is narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas [May
Allaah be Pleased with him] was called to the council of the people of Badr and
was asked to give his Tafseer of this Surah. He said that Surah refers to the death
of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him].
The scholars have stated that the reason
for the statement of Ibn ‘Abbaas [May Allaah be Pleased with him] is that this
Surah is the conclusion of the Da’wah of the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of
Allaah be Upon him] as this Surah was revealed in final Hajj of the Prophet.
Fatima bint Muhammad [May Allaah be
Pleased with her] was told by her father the Prophet [Peace and Blessings of
Allaah be Upon him] about this Surah and she started crying and then he told
her that she will be the next person to die and join him so she started
laughing.
‘Help of Allaah’: meaning the help of Allaah over the enemies.
When the Prophet [Peace and
Blessings of Allaah be Upon him] came to Makkah in order to liberate it, the
local people who disbelieved were ready to come to fight against Islam and
defend Makkah from Islaam. However, when
he entered Makkah and they saw some of the other the enemies submit to Allaah
and become Muslim, they all submitted to Islaam, tribe by tribe.
Therefore, this Surah shows that the
promise of Allaah, the Most High, is true and that it was fulfilled upon the
Messenger [Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him].
‘Glorify the Praises’: (also known as Tasbeeh) means to magnify Allaah, to
proclaim his perfectness and freeing Allaah from any imperfection. Sometimes in
the Quraan, Tasbeeh can also refer to Salaah, as Allaah, the Most High, at
times tells us to Glorify His Praises in the morning and the late afternoon,
i.e. referring to Salaah.
The Prophet [Peace and Blessings of
Allaah be Upon him] explained that the meaning of Tasbeeh and Istaghfaar in
this Surah by action. It is narrated that he bowed in Rukoo’ and would do
Tasbeeh and Istighfaar in Rukoo.
‘ask for His Forgiveness’: It is prescribed to do this at the end of every good deed.
The scholars have stated that seeking forgiveness in Allaah helps us to increase
in doing good deeds and excuses us of any mistakes that we may have.
This Surah gives us the lesson that
the Muslims should increase in doing Dhikr and Salaah when they are in the
state of ease of hardship. Whether they are safe or in the state of war.
It is narrated that the Prophet
[Peace and Blessings of Allaah be Upon him], upon the conquering of Makkah, he
prayed eight Rak’aat of Duhaa in the house of Umm Haani’ [May Allaah be Pleased
with her] on the day of Fath. Therefore, this Surah also teaches us that we
should gives thanks and Shukr at the end of gaining any form of favour from
Allaah, the Most High. Giving thanks to Allaah, the Most High, is by doing good
deeds, Dhikr and Salaah.
