Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
And taken off from you your burden,
And We removed from you your burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which had weighed upon your back
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
الذي أنقض ظهرك
And exalted for you your esteem?
And raised high for you your repute.
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
Surely with difficulty is ease.
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
فإن مع العسر يسرا
With difficulty is surely ease.
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
إن مع العسر يسرا
So when you are free, nominate.
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
فإذا فرغت فانصب
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
وإلى ربك فارغب
