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