Question:
This questioner says: Surat al-Nasr: (When the help of Allah and the conquest come, and you see the people entering the religion of Allah in great numbers, then exalt your Lord with praise and seek His forgiveness. Indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance.) What is the occasion of the revelation of this surah?
Answer:
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This surah contains the announcement of the end of the life of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his departure from this world. So His saying (Glorified and Exalted is He): In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful (When the help of Allah and the conquest come), the conquest of Makkah, which was in the ninth year of the Hijrah, (and you see the people entering the religion of Allah in great numbers), the delegations came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) from the tribes after the conquest of Makkah. The Arabs submitted because Quraysh were the spearhead of the Arabs. So when Allah gave him victory over Quraysh and the conquest of Makkah, the delegations from the Arabs came to pledge allegiance to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). (And you see the people entering the religion of Allah in great numbers), in groups; at that time (then exalt your Lord with praise and seek His forgiveness. Indeed, He is the Accepting of repentance), Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) commanded him to conclude his life with glorification and seeking forgiveness. Seeking forgiveness is used to conclude gatherings, and it is used to conclude prayers and acts of worship, and it is also used to conclude a lifetime, so it is a conclusion. That He (Glorified and Exalted is He) (is the Accepting of repentance), the One who frequently accepts repentance, because He (Glorified and Exalted is He) accepts the repentance of His servants, returning to them with forgiveness and acceptance.
