'''Al-Fath''' ({{langx|ar| الفتح}}, {{Transliteration|ar|al-fatḥ}}; {{small|meaning:}} "The Victory") is the 48th chapter ([[surah]]) of the [[Qur'an]] with 29 verses ([[ayat]]). The surah was revealed in [[Medina]] in the sixth year of the [[Hijrah]], on the occasion of the [[Treaty of Hudaybiya]] between the Muslim city-state of Madinah and Makkan polytheists. It mentions this victory, then criticizes the attitudes of the hypocrites, continues with further promises to the Muslims, and ends by mentioning certain important virtues of the Muslim community.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Ünal, Ali.|title=[[The Qur'an with Annotated Interpretation in Modern English]]|date=2008|publisher=Tughra Books|isbn=978-1-59784-144-3|location=Somerset, N.J.|pages=1038|oclc=234244740}}</ref>

The chapter gets its name from the opening verse, which states "Indeed, We have granted you a clear triumph..." in direct reference to the Treaty which was signed through cooperation between the opposing forces and without bloodshed. The reason this treaty, and therefore chapter, is called a "clear triumph" is largely believed to be because of its peaceful nature.
