ٱلْفَتْح : ٢

  • لِّيَغۡفِرَ That may forgive
  • لَكَ for you
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah
  • مَا what
  • تَقَدَّمَ preceded
  • مِن of
  • ذَنۢبِكَ your fault
  • وَمَا and what
  • تَأَخَّرَ will follow
  • وَيُتِمَّ and complete
  • نِعۡمَتَهُۥ His favor
  • عَلَيۡكَ upon you
  • وَيَهۡدِيَكَ and guide you
  • صِرَٰطٗا (to) a Path
  • مُّسۡتَقِيمٗا Straight
That Allāh may forgive for you what preceded of your sin [i.e., errors] and what will follow and complete His favor upon you and guide you to a straight path
that God may forgive you, by virtue of your struggle, what is past of your sin and what is to come, of it, so that your community might then desire to struggle [like you] - this [verse] also constitutes a justification of the [concept of the] infallibility ('isma) of prophets, peace be upon them, against sin, by way of a definitive rational proof (the laam [in li-yaghfira, 'that He may forgive'] is for [indicating] the ultimate reason [for the conquest], so that the content [of this latter statement] constitutes an effect and not the cause), and that He may perfect, by way of the mentioned victory, His favour to you and guide you, thereby, to a straight path, upon which He will confirm you - and this [straight path] is the religion of Islam;
