Sura Fath

Sūra al-Fatḥ (Arabic: سورة الفتح) is the forty eighth sura of the Qur'an. It is a Madani sura in the twenty sixth juz' of the Qur'an. It is named "Fath" because the opening of the sura talks about "fath mubin" (clear conquest). The sura is mainly about the eventual victory of Muslims, the rewards of faith, jihad, and sincerity, the forgiveness of mistakes by mujahidun, warning unbelievers and idle Muslims, and finally the global dominance of God's religion.

The first verse of the sura concerning a clear conquest (or victory) and the verse eighteen concerning the Pledge of al-Ridwan are well-known verses of Sura al-Fath.

There are hadiths concerning the virtues of the recitation of Sura al-Fath to the effect that one who recites the sura is like someone who had accompanied the Prophet (s) in the conquest or is like someone who had pledged his allegiance to the Prophet (s) in the Pledge of al-Ridwan.
