In the Name of Allah
In this surah "Nasr" and "Fath" have common meaning (necessity type) as "Nasr" is necessary for "Fath". "Nasr" implies some features in it as opposing forces, lack of ability , power, help, and plan.So, these opposing forces obstacles victory and confront it.Victory can be blocked or opened. If people mock others, go to the extremes, be disappointed, and overuse blessings in their life (as some examples), they will block their victory by their own actions and disregard God's plan and help in their lives. However, in case of praying by glorifying God and asking for his forgiveness people will open the locks and reach wealth, happiness , and cure which are some kinds of victories that can be seen in our lives with the God and asking for his forgiveness are the prerequisites of his victory as well as help and vice versa.
What is the most important factor in this regard is being purified for God and only obey him in our lives.
Establishment of "Din" is necessary for the dominance of purified God's obedience in the world with the help of glorifying God and asking for his help.

A Brief Discussion of Nasr Surah
Nasr Surah is the 102ed Surah in Quran and one of the shortest Surah with 3 Verses. It contains an incident with its reason, sign, and the raised duties.
The incident is victory and the reason is Allah’s aid. The sign is people entering into the Allah Religion in crowd. The raised duties are celebrating the praise of your Lord and plead to him for forgiveness; indeed he is all-clement.
To commence with, Allah’s Aid (Nasr) has victory in its nature. It is God’s law. As it can be seen in other verses inside other surah which included Aid (Nasr) word, when Allah accompany aid the result will be positive and victory, some vivid examples are:
وَ لَقَدْ نَصرَکُمُ اللَّهُ بِبَدْرٍ وَ أَنتُمْ أَذِلَّةٌ فَاتَّقُواْ اللَّهَ لَعَلَّکُمْ تَشْکُرُونَ123Ale-Emran
إِلَّا تَنصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ إِذْ أَخْرَجَهُ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ ثَانىَِ اثْنَینِْ إِذْ هُمَا فىِ الْغَارِ إِذْ یَقُولُ لِصَحِبِهِ لَا تحَْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا فَأَنزَلَ اللَّهُ سَکِینَتَهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ أَیَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَ جَعَلَ کَلِمَةَ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُواْ السُّفْلىَ وَ کَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ هِىَ الْعُلْیَا وَ اللَّهُ عَزِیزٌ حَکِیمٌ40Tube
وَ لَئنِ جَاءَ نَصْرٌ مِّن رَّبِّکَ لَیَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا کُنَّا مَعَکُمْ أَ وَ لَیْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِمَا فىِ صُدُورِ الْعَالَمِینَ10Ankabout
وَ یَنصُرَکَ اللَّهُ نَصْرًا عَزِیزًا 3Fath
When the Aid depends on men and in general things besides Allah (Aliha), the result will be negative, as:
وَ لَا یَسْتَطِیعُونَ لهَمْ نَصْرًا وَ لَا أَنفُسَهُمْ یَنصُرُونَ(192) Aaraf
وَ الَّذِینَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ لَا یَسْتَطِیعُونَ نَصْرَکُمْ وَ لَا أَنفُسَهُمْ یَنصُرُونَ(197) Aaraf
أَمْ لهَمْ ءَالِهَةٌ تَمْنَعُهُم مِّن دُونِنَا لَا یَسْتَطِیعُونَ نَصْرَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَ لَا هُم مِّنَّا یُصْحَبُونَ(43) Anbia
لَا یَسْتَطِیعُونَ نَصْرَهُمْ
وَ هُمْ لهَمْ جُندٌ محُّضَرُونَ(75) Yasine
The second word is victory (Fath) which is also from
Allah. Victory (Fath) can be material or spiritual. Seeing people entering into
the Allah’s religion in crowd means the victory comes completely and is
realize
The raised duties which are celebrating, praise and forgiveness are for gratitude and glorifying Allah. With monitoring the victory we can correct it; In this case permanent growth of the victory can be happened.
N. Albeheshti
Since I was a child whenever I lost something they have told me to read Nasr surah for finding it and most of the time it worked. It remains me like every blessing that we have been given we don’t use them properly in the way we should. Also like this surah if we have known when there come the help of Allah and the victory is so big (like what happened in Mecca) more than just finding your lost items.
So the thing we can do is being grateful for all the blessing that we have and praise our lord, ask for his forgiveness for not being able to understand and using them in the way we should have.
Narges Sadat Mirmalek Sani
When the help of Allah and victory comes
You’ll see the men entering the religion of Allah in crowds
Hence praise Allah, glorify Him and beg His forgiveness. He is undoubtedly the most relenting
In these three short, but, expressive verses, there are some elegant elaborations whose careful observation helps us to understand the final goal of the Surah. In the first verse, it says that the victory belongs to Allah. It is not only in this occurrence that this meaning is mentioned, but, in many other verses of the Qur'an the idea is reflected. In this Surah, the words are about, at first, the help of Allah, then, the victory, and then, the influence and spread of Islam, and finally, the entering of people, in groups, into the religion of Allah. All of them are causes and effects for each other. On the other hand, the help of Allah; and the victory are all for the final goal, i.e., people entering Allah's religion in multitudes, and guidance for all. There are three important instructions in the verse given to the holy Prophet (PBUH) and naturally to all believers which are, in fact, a gratitude for this great victory and an appropriate response to the help of Allah: the instructions of celebrating, praising, and seeking His forgiveness. It is certain that the holy Prophet (PBUH) of Islam, like all other prophets, was sinless; then what is the instruction of seeking His forgiveness for? To answer this question, it should be said that this is a model for the whole community, and on the part of a sinless, infallible one like the holy Prophet (PBUH) will mean seeking further grace and greater blessings or further protection of the Lord against the forces of Satan. By the way, it may also refer to the meaning that 'when Allah accepts your repentance, you, too, should accept the repentance of the guilty after victory, as far as you can, and do not repulse them from yourselves as long as there is no sign of offence or plot coming from them.

In The Name of ALLAH
Al_Nasr : The Divine Aid
Revealed at Mecca
It had all been started with the voice of the Holy Angel revealing verses from Omniscient ALLah saying as," ( O, Messenger) Recite in the Name of Allah who is your Creator_Nurturer and who Created all creatures of the universe; Allah is the One who taught all sciences through the knowledge of writing with pen" ( Al_ Alaq sura/ verses 1 and 4). And afterwards other verses saying," O, you who have wrapped yourself in a cloak; arise ( Qiam) and proclaim the warning publicly." ( Al_ Muddassir/ 1_2)
Now after 23 years of adversities, pains, and tortures of being away from their homeland and relatives, the honorable prophet( PBUH) received the last sura, Al_Nasr, that " When it comes the Aid of Allah and the victory; Then you will see the people entry Allah's Religion in crowds" (Al_Nasr/ 1_2)
As a matter of fact, by the Divine Prophecy, the honorable prophet(PBUH) was informed about the upcoming triumph to the Muslims soon, so he decided to cut off pagan's communication and any kind of their retreat through surrounding Mecca in peace. By this means, he avoided any massacre of the city dwellers. Additionally, he demonstrated the main message of Allah's Religion ( Islam) which is the guidance of mankind to the Truth path in peace and mercy.
Eventually, to remember that all accomplishments are due to the Aid of Allah,in this sura, the Divine Messenger were commanded with thanksgiving and adorning Allah to do Tasbih of the Creator_Nurturer and ask His Forgiveness for refusing any spoiling arrogance and pride since God is the Extreme Repentance Accepter.

In the Name of God
“God” is behind whatever “Nasr” and “Fath” we achieve in our lives. This is the straight and essential soul that overwhelms the surah by providing the basis required for stating the next parts of it. The tendency of people towards God’s “Din” is counted as one of the instances of “Nasr” and “Fath” which the second verse focuses on. The importance of this victory is due to its effect on the success of God in attracting people to what is stated at the rest of this surah and throughout Quran.
“Eza” (when) is used at the beginning of the surah to establish a conditional structure. The condition is occurrence of “Nasr” and “Fath” from Allah. Before dealing with the main clause, I’d like to talk about the support provided for it which is Allah’s forgiveness. This support is provided by the fact that when God opens a door for people to admire and pray him and ask for his forgiveness and this fortune is exploited, actually and practically, by the people (as the early obeyers of Islam did), they are granted with “Nasr” and “Fath” of Allah. The Allah’s favor to us must continue, in turn, with our acknowledgement in saying and practice with deeper “Tasbih”, “Hamd” and “Esteghfar” in order to open more doors to “Nasr” and “Fath” of Allah. A typical helical (in form of a helix to imply an upward progress of a movement) collection of events occurs, continually, so that we are granted Allah’s favors at the same time we are making a soulful progress.
Seyedeh Maryam Mesbah
For God's sake, once in your life take the time to focus on your own life from the beginning till now as much as you remember. Ask for the aid of Allah (Nasr) to open up (Fath), and for each moments of your life which there have been any conflicts or problems and for them you have suffered a little or a lot seek Allah's perfect forgiveness (Esteghfar) for your own share and role in those conflicts or problems even if you believe you have been innocent and flawless, which is truly a false belief. Be modest and ask for His forgiveness because sometimes you have had a great share and role in them while thinking about yourself as a victim.
Maybe it takes some time, but do not worry; it is worth it. It is unbelievably shocking when you remember all those faces and events one by one, and ask for Allah's forgiveness for your own share and role in making any of those people suffer and affecting any of those events to go wrong. It is touching your heart and soul in an extraordinary way, and at the end you understand how much God has helped you (Nasr) to purify yourself and get rid of all that heaviness of hopelessness and sense of guilt (Fath). It is like being born again with a refreshed soul to start and think much more hopefully and clearly, recognize your faults, and find much better solutions for the problems which have not been resolved yet (Fath).
It is the miracle of "Nasr and Fath-Esteghfar-Nasr and Fath" chain that you can experience yourself.
When comes the aid of Allah (Nasr) and the victory (Fath), do remember to glorify and hymn your Lord's praise and ask Him for forgiveness (Esteghfar), since He is so relenting.

Al_Ma'arij ( the ways of ascent)
Revealed at: Mecca
In "Al_Haqqah" sura, we were able to classify the verses of the sura into three groups of " Moqaraboon: the messengers and the nearest believers to Allah; "Ashabe Yamin: the Right_hand companions or believers; and " Ashabe Shomal or disbelievers", as well as the sequential classification of the verses. Additionally, we could introduce each verse of the sura as a reflection of beliefs, actions, traits, causes and effects of two trends of the Truth and the fake_ quasi trend.
Thereby, we will have an overall perception of the sura subjects as well as paying attention to the facts, encouragements and threats presenting in the sura and studying the verses more distinctively.
With respect to the brilliant verses of Qur'an, the world is a place for human to develop and emerge from the darkness (of ignorance or sin) to the light (of recognition of the Truth). Then mankind has an immense capacity of talent which must be activated and used. Therefore, each sura guides mankind in such a way into an acceptable condition and a destiny gratified by Allah.
The improper( not acceptable) condition is a condition in which human got stuck in his own instinct and nature, or even lower than that, into a deeper layer of darkness ( of sin or ignorance).
From one's birth in the world, naturally he has a number of traits in his instinct; however, stagnating in these in_born traits and not promoting indicates his recession and immobility. A guided human owns the same natural traits but survive himself through the recession and inactivity by putting himself in the guiding trace.
By this means, each sura verses are dividable into two range of destiny and intention indicator and the range of the darkness condition. By noting to the beforehand mentioned points on stagnating the in_born situation, the darkness condition is also dividable into two conditions; one as a sinful and negative_oriented and the other as the natural condition.
Due to this fact, it is possible to study the sura verses on the basis of improper ( not acceptable) and proper (acceptable) conditions of human. Under this circumstance, using the facilities, blessings and the facts of the world are included in the "proper condition" and the characteristics presenting the natural condition of human or showing the sinful traits are included in "improper condition". It is possible to call the "proper condition"of mankind as his "Fetrat" or God_given instinct and his "improper condition" as his "nature" and also it is possible to evaluate these two conditions merely on the basis of causes and effects and its consequences.
The following topics could lead us to a better recognition of "nature" or "Fetrat"( God_given instinct) aspects of human:
1) The subjects indicate the natural states of human apart from evaluating these states positively or negatively;
2) The subjects demonstrate the human trends;
3) The subjects express the human emotions;
4) The subjects point out the human motivations and intentions.
1st Move: Studying the revere sura of Al_Ma'arij and enlisting its subjects
2nd Move: Classifying sequentially the sura ( Sequential Classification)
3rd Move: Tracking the trends of the sura into the Truth trend and the Fake_quasi trend
4th Move: Categorizing the sura according to the Proper (Acceptable)" and "Improper( not Acceptable)" conditions for human
5th Move: Studying the intention of the sura.
