In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And removed from you your burden.
And taken off from you your burden,
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which weighed down your back?
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
الذي أنقض ظهرك
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And have We not raised high your fame?
And exalted for you your esteem?
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
Surely with difficulty is ease.
فإن مع العسر يسرا
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Verily, along with every hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
With difficulty is surely ease.
إن مع العسر يسرا
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship.
So when you are free, nominate.
فإذا فرغت فانصب
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
وإلى ربك فارغب
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
