Ash-Sharh (The Opening Forth)
سورة الشرح
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
1 أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
2 وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ
And We removed from you your burden
3 الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ
Which had weighed upon your back
4 وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ
And raised high for you your repute.
5 فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
6 إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
7 فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
8 وَإِلَى رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.
