بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Chapter 94, 8 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And taken off from you your burden,
And eased thee of the burden
And We removed from you your burden
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which weighed down thy back;
Which had weighed upon your back
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And exalted for you your esteem?
And exalted thy fame ?
And raised high for you your repute.
فإن مع العسر يسرا
Surely with difficulty is ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
إن مع العسر يسرا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when you are free, nominate.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
وإلى ربك فارغب
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And strive to please thy Lord.
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
