Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
And taken off from you your burden,
And We removed from you your burden
And removed from thee thy burden
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which had weighed upon your back
The which did gall thy back? -
And exalted for you your esteem?
And raised high for you your repute.
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
Surely with difficulty is ease.
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
With difficulty is surely ease.
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
So when you are free, nominate.
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
