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