    When the victory of Allāh and the conquest have come, and you see people entering the religion of Allāh in multitudes, then glorify the praise of your Lord and ask His forgiveness — indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance.

Allah's names in this sūrah

Which names Allah uses here, and why

Sūrat An- names Allah in 2 distinct ways across its āyāt, each one carrying part of what the sūrah is arguing. A name is never decoration: tafsīr reads the name chosen as part of the āyah's argument. Learn each one, where it falls in Sūrah An-Naṣr, and what it asks of you.

Key takeaways

  • The greatest worldly success is met in the Qur'an with praise and repentance, not pride.
  • Senior companions could read layers of meaning in the Qur'an beyond its apparent sense, tested and confirmed by revelation's pattern.
  • Completion of a mission is marked by turning more, not less, toward Allah.
