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)?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
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)?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
And removed from you your burden.
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ

Which weighed down your back?
الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ

And have We not raised high your fame?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ

Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Verily, along with every hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran

And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
