Ash-Sharḥ (Surah 94)
Ash-Sharḥ (Uplifting the Heart)
Makki SurahIntroduction
Like the previous sûrah, this sûrah reminds the Prophet (ﷺ) of more blessings to reassure him of Allah’s continued support in the city of Mecca, which is mentioned in the next sûrah. In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
More Reassurance to the Prophet
1. Have We not uplifted your heart for you (O Prophet), 2. relieved you of the burden 3. which weighed so heavily on your back, 4. and elevated your renown for you? 5. So, surely with hardship comes ease. 6. Surely with (that) hardship comes (more) ease. 7. So once you have fulfilled (your duty), strive (in devotion), 8. turning to your Lord (alone) with hope.
