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