Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
And taken off from you your burden,
And removed from thee thy burden
And eased thee of the burden
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
The which did gall thy back? -
Which weighed down thy back;
Allathee anqada thahraka
And exalted for you your esteem?
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And exalted thy fame ?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
Surely with difficulty is ease.
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
With difficulty is surely ease.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
So when you are free, nominate.
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when thou art relieved, still toil
Faitha faraghta fainsab
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And strive to please thy Lord.
