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