Chapter 94, 8 verses
Have We not expanded thee thy breast? -
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)?
Haben Wir dir nicht deine Brust aufgetan
And removed from thee thy burden
And removed from you your burden.
und dir deine Last abgenommen,
The which did gall thy back? -
Which weighed down your back?
die deinen Rücken niederdrückte,
And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?
And have We not raised high your fame?
und dir dein Ansehen erhöht?
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Verily, along with every hardship is relief,
Also gewiß, mit der Erschwernis ist Erleichterung,
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.
Verily, along with every hardship is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).
gewiß, mit der Erschwernis ist Erleichterung.
Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,
So when you have finished (your occupation), devote yourself for Allah's worship.
Wenn du nun fertig bist, dann strenge dich an
And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your) intentions and hopes.
und nach deinem Herrn richte dein Begehren aus.
