This Surah had a very deep and profound impact on the life of the prophet (s.a.w). More than 100x istighfaar and increase in qiyaam (nawafil) until his feet swelled and cracked = all these narrations are of after this surah was revealed. This Surah was revealed when a lot of people were becoming Muslim, his mission was complete and he was instructed by Allah to wean himself away from people and back to Allah.
This Surah is a guarantee of the victory.
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَاسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا
Tasbeeh means to glorify Allah, declare His perfection. Say that He is above and beyond any flaws.
Hands - praise and gratitude to Allah.
Declare Allah's perfection because all praise and gratitude belong to Allah. He is the One Who is in charge, Who gave you victory.
إِنَّهُ كَانَ تَوَّابًا - He it is He no doubt continuously accepting of repentance.
Past tense used, Allah accepted the tawbah of the Bani Israel in the past. Accepted the tawbah of far worse and bigger criminals. Accepting Islam is tawbah from shirk, and ignorance. Allah has been this way and will be always.
There was purification of the House of Allah from the idols, so purification of the hearts is called (inside cleaning).
You would expect that Allah would say be grateful. But here Allah says no no give credit to Allah and humble yourself by asking Allah's forgiveness. Remove and kill the idol of arrogance in your heart with istighfaar.
the more noble you are and more dignified you are, the more shriveled up you feel when someone curses you. The Prophets have the softest of hearts and cleanest of hearts. And they had to go back again and again and make da'wah to them. Put up with their arrogance and attitude. This is the conversation they have to engage with them. So in this Surah Allah tells the Messenger (s.a.w) that your mission is done, and now he gets to go back to Allah, be with Allah forever.
إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَالْفَتْحُ
جَاءَ - stronger and tougher
نَصْرُ - rain comes and relieves it of its dryness. Help against oppressor, when army is being defeated. Additional military support. Very big and very heavy, meant to overpower (help someone against someone else).
He has the help of Allah on his (sa.w.) side. He (s.a.w) is not going to compromise (Surah al Kafiroon) because he is only an ambassdor of Allah's religion. Allah will defend.
فَتْحُ - it i a clear victory. No draw. No 49% victory. It is a decisive victory. Both sides know who won. The help of Allah is the only reason you get victory. Sometimes it comes in battle, by means of sakeena when they are doing something. So the help of Allah has to come first then comes victory. Help of Alah i.e. that is to say victory.
At the conquest of Makkah, the only celebration being made is the worship of Allah. Even the Messenger (s.a.w) enters in the state of sajda, the first thing he does is clean the house of Allah. Its very unique.
يَدْخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ أَفْوَاجًا - you will see them enter Islam. The very people who were refusing for so long and those you don't even know, will embrace it before your eyes and you will be pleased.
النَّاسَ - One who posses intellect as opposed to haiwaan. Those who didn't enter Islam, they are animal. bande da puttar. They will come as a group. They are coming in not because of logical reasons, sometimes they just followed their family, their tribal leader. Because everyone was embracing Islam, because it became so popular, they decided to follow and do the same. If Islam makes it in your heart then it will remain inshaAllah but if was handed down to you, generation after generation then it is possible you will fall into doubt and become non-practicing.
How to do istighfaar: glorify Allah, say He is perfect. Praise Him. Acknowledge your mistakes. Make istighfhaar, Allah will accept it. What a gift. Allah says, apologize to Me now, He will relent upon you.
Perfect the way you do tasbeeh and hamd of Allah. Better and better your way, the way you pray salah, the way you do dikhr of Allah.
This Surah is a guarantee of the victory.
