In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
And eased thee of the burden
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
And We removed from you your burden
And removed from thee thy burden
Which weighed down thy back;
Allathee anqada thahraka
Which had weighed upon your back
The which did gall thy back? -
And exalted thy fame ?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
And raised high for you your repute.
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Faitha faraghta fainsab
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
And strive to please thy Lord.
Waila rabbika fairghab
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
