Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألم نشرح لك صدرك
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
And We removed from you your burden
ووضعنا عنك وزرك
And eased thee of the burden
And taken off from you your burden,
Which had weighed upon your back
الذي أنقض ظهرك
Which weighed down thy back;
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
And raised high for you your repute.
ورفعنا لك ذكرك
And exalted thy fame ?
And exalted for you your esteem?
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
فإن مع العسر يسرا
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
إن مع العسر يسرا
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
With difficulty is surely ease.
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
فإذا فرغت فانصب
So when thou art relieved, still toil
So when you are free, nominate.
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
وإلى ربك فارغب
And strive to please thy Lord.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
