An-Nasr, (Arabic: النصر, an-naṣr, "Help",[1] or "[Divine] Support" [2]), is the 110th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 3 āyāt or verses.

۝[3] WHEN the assistance of Allah shall come, and the victory;
۝ and thou shalt see the people enter into the religion of Allah by troops:
۝ celebrate the praise of thy LORD, and ask pardon of him; for he is inclined to forgive.[4]

An-Nasr translates to English as both "the victory" and "the help or assistance". It is the second-shortest surah after Al-Kawthar. Surah 112 (al-Ikhlāṣ) actually has fewer words in Arabic than Surah An-Nasr, yet it has four verses.[5]
