Ash-Sharh الانشراح
The opened chest ألم نشرح لك صدرك
Summary and links in the frieze
In the frieze The one in hardship learns his burden is lifted, and that once freed he must return to effort.
Read just before, 95 leads here: The human being brought back to the lowest of the low; next, the one addressed hears his burden lifted, his remembrance elevated. 95
It leads to 93: Three questions on what was done for him; the next sura asks three more: orphan taken in, astray guided, indigent enriched. 93
Closes on “They ask one another”
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent.
Did We not open your chest for you? Did We not lift your burden from you, which weighed upon your back? And did We not elevate your remembrance for you?
الم نشرح لك صدرك ووضعنا عنك وزرك الذي انقض ظهرك ورفعنا لك ذكرك
So indeed, with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with hardship comes ease.
فان مع العسر يسرا ان مع العسر يسرا
As soon as you are freed, direct your effort, and to your Guardian turn your yearning.
فاذا فرغت فانصب والي ربك فارغب
