1. Write Suratul-Nasr (Q.110) either in Arabic or transliteration, translate into English and comment on it.

Model answer

Transliteration: Idha jaa nasrul-lahi wal fathu, wa ra,aitan nasa yadukhuluna fi dinil-lahi afwajaa, fasabih bihamdi rabbika wastaghfirhu innahu kaana tawwaaba. Translation: When there comes the help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad) and the conquest (of Makkah), and you see that people enter Allah's religion (Islam) in crowds, then glorify the praises of your Lord, and ask His forgiveness; verily, He is the One who accepts repentance and forgives. Comment: This surah is one of the signs that the death of the Prophet is near; it shows that Allah is oft-forgiving to His slave when he seeks forgiveness; it shows that Allah accepts the repentance of His slaves.
