Al-Kawthar (Surah 108)

Al-Kawthar (Abundant Goodness)

Makki Surah

Introduction

This Meccan sûrah was revealed to reassure the Prophet (ﷺ). Since the Prophet’s sons died in childhood, Al-’Ȃṣ ibn Wâ'il, an infamous Meccan pagan, used to say that Muḥammad (ﷺ) would be forgotten because he had no son to carry his name. Today, ‘Muḥammad’ is the most common name in the world, whereas the name of Al-’Ȃṣ is barely mentioned. The Prophet (ﷺ) is ordered to be devoted to Allah alone, which is the underlying theme of the next sûrah. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

Good News to the Prophet

1. Indeed, We have granted you (O Prophet) abundant goodness.

2. So pray and sacrifice to your Lord (alone).

3. Only the one who hates you is truly cut off (from any goodness).

إِنَّآ أَعْطَيْنَـٰكَ ٱلْكَوْثَرَ١

فَصَلِّ لِرَبِّكَ وَٱنْحَرْ٢

إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ ٱلْأَبْتَرُ٣
