Al-Sharh

أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ١

Have We not broadened your breast for you (for the light of knowledge, wisdom and spiritual gnosis)?

وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ ٢

And We have taken off the load (of grief of the Umma [Community]) from you,

الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ ٣

(The load) which was growing heavier on your (holy) back.

وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ ٤

And We exalted for you your remembrance (by annexing it to Ours everywhere in the world and in the Hereafter).

فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ٥

So surely ease (comes) with every hardship.

إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ٦

Verily, with (this) hardship (too) there is ease.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَانصَبْ ٧

So when you are free (from educating the Umma (Community), preaching the Din (Religion) and fighting, and fulfilling your responsibilities), then strive hard (in remembrance and the worship of your Lord),

وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَارْغَب ٨

And turn to your Lord earnestly.
