| Surah Ash-Sharh | |||
| In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. | |||
| 1 | Have We not opened your breast for you ( O Muhammad )? | ||
| 2 | And removed from you your burden, | ||
| 3 | Which weighed down your back? | ||
| 4 | And raised high your fame? | ||
| 5 | So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, | ||
| 6 | Verily, with the hardship, there is relief ( i. e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs ). | ||
| 7 | So when you have finished ( from your occupation ), then stand up for Allâh's worship ( i. e. stand up for prayer ). | ||
| 8 | And to your Lord ( Alone ) turn ( all your intentions and hopes and ) your invocations. | ||
