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