Surah Fatah





We have granted you a clear victory,
- Thomas Cleary
that God may forgive you for your previous and later fault, and to complete divine favor on you, and to guide you on a straight path,

and so God may help you with mighty assistance.

It is God who sent tranquility down into the hearts of the believers, that they may add faith to their faith —for the forces of the heavens and the earth belong to God, and God is omniscient, supremely wise—
- Thomas Cleary
in order to admit the believing men and believing women into gardens with streams flowing below, to abide therein, and to erase their evils from them —and that, to God, is supreme success—
- Thomas Cleary
and to punish the hypocritical men and hypocritical women, and the idolatrous men and idolatrous women, who conceive an evil opinion of God: they are due for an evil turn of fortune as God is angry with them and has cursed them and prepared them hell, a wretched destination.

The forces of the heavens and the earth belong to God, and God is almighty, supremely wise.
- Thomas Cleary
We sent you as a witness, a herald, and a warner,
- Thomas Cleary
so that you all might believe in God and the messenger of God, honoring and revering God, and celebrating the praise of God morning and evening.
- Thomas Cleary
For those who pledge their loyalty to you are actually pledging their loyalty to God; the hand of God is over their hands. So if anyone reneges, he only reneges to his own detriment; and whoever fulfills what he has promised to God, God will give a great reward.
