Al Sharh

1 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)?

2 And removed from you your burden.

3 Which weighed down your back?

4 And have We not raised high your fame?

5 Verily, along with every hardship is relief,

6 Verily, along with every hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).

7 So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship.

8 And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
