Medinanإِذَا جَآءَ نَصۡرُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡفَتۡحُ
جب اللہ کی مدد اور فتح آئے
وَرَأَيۡتَ ٱلنَّاسَ يَدۡخُلُونَ فِي دِينِ ٱللَّهِ أَفۡوَاجٗا
اور لوگوں کو تم دیکھو کہ اللہ کے دین میں فوج فوج داخل ہوتے ہیں
فَسَبِّحۡ بِحَمۡدِ رَبِّكَ وَٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡهُۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ تَوَّابَۢا
تو اپنے رب کی ثناء کرتے ہوئے اس کی پاکی بولو اور اس سے بخشش چاہو بیشک وہ بہت توبہ قبول کرنے والا ہے

Historical Context
A Medinan surah, among the last complete surahs revealed — commonly associated with the period of the Farewell Pilgrimage, near the end of the Prophet ﷺ's life. Ibn Abbas (RA) is reported to have understood it as a sign that the Prophet's ﷺ mission, and his life, were drawing to a close, even while some other companions initially read it only as a description of victory.
Main Themes
Victory and mass conversion
Describes "Allah's victory" and people entering the religion of Allah "in multitudes" — widely understood as referring to the conquest of Makkah and the wave of tribal delegations accepting Islam that followed.
The response: glorify and seek forgiveness
Rather than instructing celebration, the surah's closing verse directs the Prophet ﷺ toward praise of Allah and seeking forgiveness — read by Ibn Abbas and others as preparation for the end of his mission.
