A Research on the Interpretation of " Fat h" in Surah An-Nasr

Most of commentators have considered God’s intention of bringing glad tidings of “Fat’h (Victory)” in surah An-Nasr as the conquest of Mecca. While the study of traditions of cause of revelation of surah beside the lexical, Quranic and historical evidences in this surah and other Fat’h instances in Quran, indicates the wrongness of this opinion. This research- by gathering, categorizing and reviewing the traditions of the cause of revelation of this surah and presenting the above-mentioned evidences- has attempted to show the surah An-Nasr has been revealed after the conquest of Mecca and in the last days of the holy Prophet’s life and the intention and meaning of “Fat’h (Victory)” in surah An-Nasr, unlike what most commentators think, is not the conquest of Mecca; because the traditions entered for this theme not only are transmitted by Sunnis and Shia has no authentic way to approve them, but also are in objection to other multiple traditions, some of which have been narrated from the infallible Imam and are compatible with each other in terms of their theme. Surah An- Nasr brings the glad tidings of Islam’s final triumph and overall victory over all religions and beliefs in all parts of the world at the time of Imam Mahdi.
