Surah 110 – The Divine Support سورة النصر

The text in this piece is the entire 110th book of the Qur’an. It is part of my ongoing project ‘The Quran for Solidarity‘.

The image is a homage to Japanese artist Hokusai’s woodcut The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Apologies for the low quality, a scan will be up soon.

This surah is believed to have been the last one given to Muhammad and a sign of his approaching death.

This Surah, entitled ‘Al-Nasr,’ meaning ‘The Victory’ is composed of 3 verses, a translation of which can be seen below, courtesy of Sahih International.

110:1 When the victory of Allah has come and the conquest,

110:2 And you see the people entering into the religion of Allah in multitudes,

110:3 Then exalt [Him] with praise of your Lord and ask forgiveness of Him. Indeed, He is ever Accepting of repentance.
