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