Surah Kausar Or Al-Kauser – Transliteration and English Translation

Surah Kausar is the 108th Chapter/ Surah in the noble Qur’an and has just three verses, making it the shortest chapter of the Quran Kareem. “Kausar” means “abundance, bountiful, plentiful or a river or lake in paradise.” This Surah was revealed before the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) migration to Medina when the Prophet (PBUH ) was facing oppression and hardships from the Quraish and the inhabitants of Makkah, particularly from non-believers in the early stages of the prophethood while preaching Islam.

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and a small group of His companions could not see a significant change or success because the entire nation had turned against him with extreme resistance and hostility from all sides. Before the revelation of Surah Al-Kausar, Allah had sent down various verses to console and uplift him at the death of His son.
In Surah Ad- Duha, it was said: “And surely the later period (i.e. every later period) is better for you than the former period, and soon your Lord shall give you so much that you shall be well pleased.”
Such were the conditions in which Allah by sending down Surah Al-Kauthar consoled the Holy Prophet as well as foretold the destruction of his opponents. Read More »
