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?
Alam nashrah laka sadraka
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
WawadaAAna AAanka wizraka
And taken off from you your burden,
And eased thee of the burden
Which had weighed upon your back
Allathee anqada thahraka
Which pressed heavily upon your back,
Which weighed down thy back;
And raised high for you your repute.
WarafaAAna laka thikraka
And exalted for you your esteem?
And exalted thy fame ?
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Fainna maAAa alAAusri yusran
Surely with difficulty is ease.
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
Inna maAAa alAAusri yusran
With difficulty is surely ease.
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
Faitha faraghta fainsab
So when you are free, nominate.
So when thou art relieved, still toil
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
Waila rabbika fairghab
And make your Lord your exclusive object.
And strive to please thy Lord.
