Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Chapter 94, 8 verses
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
Have We not expanded for you your breast,
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
And We removed from you your burden
And taken off from you your burden,
And removed from thee thy burden
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
Which had weighed upon your back
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
The which did gall thy back? -
ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
And raised high for you your repute.
And exalted for you your esteem?
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Surely with difficulty is ease.
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
With difficulty is surely ease.
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
So when you are free, nominate.
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
