In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
And eased thee of the burden
And removed from you your burden.
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
Which weighed down thy back;
Which weighed down your back?
Allathee anqada thahraka
And exalted thy fame ?
And have We not raised high your fame?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Verily, along with every hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
So when thou art relieved, still toil
So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship.
Faitha faraghta fainsab
And strive to please thy Lord.
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
