Surat AnnasSr

Sura 111:AL-NASSR:
This surah was the last to be revealed (as a whole sura),although the aya :"This day I have perfected your religion for you...." are the last words of the quran to revealed.
Bismillahi-rrahmaani-rraheem
"Itha ja-a* naSsru-llahi walfat-Hh . Wa ra ayta-nnassa yadkhuloona fee deeni-llahi afwaja.
Fa sab-biHh biHhamdi rabbika wastaghfirh.
Innahu kana tawwaba."

itha = if
ja-a = came(he),ja-at(she came),ja-ou(they came),ji'-na(we came)
naSsr = victory(here it means Allah's help)
-llahi = Allahi,but when we read it together with naSsr it becomes "naSSru-llahi" the letter "A" is silent .
wa=and
al-fatHh = victory(also opening)
also read -lfatHh,because of the word "wa" so the "al" which is (alshamsiyah)is not sounded,you can go back to arabic language pointers to understand more about this).
ra-ayta =(you) saw,
ra-ayti(you saw,F.,S.),ra-aytum(you saw M.,P.),ra-aytunna(you saw F.,P.),ra-aw(they saw),ra-ayna(we saw).

Hhamd=thanks and praises

1-Here I would like you to notice something concerning the reading of the fatha and Ddammah and kasrah,if you stop at the end of an aya the letter does not have to be read with the vowel,example:
Al-fat-Hhu(the last word in the first aya)is written with a Ddammah on top of the Hh,so it is read fat-Hhu,but when we stop at the word itself we read it "fat-Hh" no "u",the Ddammah is nullified,if however you plan to read the first two ayas non-stop,that is without stopping at fatHh,then it is read like this:
"Itha ja a naSsru-llahi wal-fatHhu wara ayta-nnasa ...etc"
so the same with the other words at the end of any ayah,if you want to stop,then there is no vowel sound.
2-Also the two fatHhas on top of the letter "a" in the word "afwaja",if we are reading the next ayah as well without stopping we will sound the two fatHhas and it will be "afwajan",if we stop at the word itself then we say "afwaja",withouit sounding the vowels.
It will be read thus if we do not stop:
"fee deen-llahi afwajan fa sabbiHh biHhamdi....etc"
3-ja a* = the last a should be read like "a" in 'apple'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The date of the sura was only a few months before the passing away of the prophet (sala Allahu alyhi wasallam).
"When comes the Help of Allah and the victory,and thou dost see the
People enter Allah's religion in crowds":
The prophet migrated to Madinah,a persecuted man.In madinah all the forces of truth and righteousness rallied around him,and the efforts by the Makkans and their confederates to destroy him and his community recoiled on their own heads.Graduallay all the outlying parts of Arabia ranged themselves round his standard and the bloodless conquest of makkah was the crown and prize of his patience and endeavour.
Every man should humble himself before Allah,confess his human frailties and seek Alllah's grace,attributing any success that he gets in his work,not to his own merits but to the goodness and mercy of Allah.





wallahu a'alam
