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
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 We removed from you your burden
And eased thee of the burden
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which had weighed upon your back
Which weighed down thy back;
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And raised high for you your repute.
And exalted thy fame ?
فإن مع العسر يسرا
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
إن مع العسر يسرا
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
So when thou art relieved, still toil
وإلى ربك فارغب
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And strive to please thy Lord.
