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