An-Nasr 110:1
The Divine Support · Medinan · Juz 30 · Page 603
Help
إِذَا جَآءَ نَصۡرُ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡفَتۡحُ ١
When Allah’s succour and the triumph cometh.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
When the help of Allah and the victory come.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the word ‘idha’ refers to a time that will certainly come. It shows that the help is so certain that one says not ‘if it comes’ but ‘when it comes’.
Reflect
For a good you are waiting for, try saying ‘when it comes’ instead of ‘if it comes’.
