أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Have We not reassured your heart for you [O Prophet],
The Soothing · ash-Sharh · سورة الشرح · 8 ayahs
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ
and relieved you of your burden
الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
that weighed down your back,
وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
and raised high your fame for you?
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
For indeed, with hardship comes ease,
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
indeed, with hardship comes ease.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانْصَبْ
So whenever you are free, strive in worship,
وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَبْ
and turn to your Lord in devotion.
