Chapter 94, 8 verses
Haben Wir dir nicht deine Brust aufgetan
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,
und dir deine Last abgenommen,
And removed from you your burden.
And taken off from you your burden,
die deinen Rücken niederdrückte,
Which weighed down your back?
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
und dir dein Ansehen erhöht?
And have We not raised high your fame?
And exalted for you your esteem?
Also gewiß, mit der Erschwernis ist Erleichterung,
Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
Surely with difficulty is ease.
gewiß, mit der Erschwernis ist Erleichterung.
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.
Wenn du nun fertig bist, dann strenge dich an
So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship.
So when you are free, nominate.
und nach deinem Herrn richte dein Begehren aus.
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
