Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
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?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
And We removed from you your burden
And taken off from you your burden,
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
And eased thee of the burden
Which had weighed upon your back
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Allathee anqada thahraka
Which weighed down thy back;
And raised high for you your repute.
And exalted for you your esteem?
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
And exalted thy fame ?
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Surely with difficulty is ease.
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
With difficulty is surely ease.
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
So when you are free, nominate.
Faitha faraghta fainsab
So when thou art relieved, still toil
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
Waila rabbika fairghab
And strive to please thy Lord.
