Quran 94:1~8
Have We not uplifted your heart for you ˹O Prophet˺, relieved you of the burden which weighed so heavily on your back, and We elevated your reputation for you? So, surely with hardship comes ease. Surely with ˹that˺ hardship comes ˹more˺ ease. So once you have fulfilled ˹your duty˺, strive ˹in devotion˺, turning to your Lord ˹alone˺ with hope. Quran 94:1~8
Al-Inshirāḥ (Arabic: الإنشراح, “Solace” or “Comfort”), or ash-Sharḥ (Arabic: الشرح, “The Opening-Up of the Breast”) is the ninety-fourth chapter (surah) of the Qur’an, with eight ayat or verses
أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ ‎ ‏وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ ‎ ‏ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ ‎ ‏وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ ‎ ‏فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا ‎ ‏إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًۭا ‎ ‏فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَٱنصَبْ ‎ ‏وَإِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَٱرْغَب
1-4 God made Muhammad’s mission easy to him
5-8 He is exhorted to labour and pray after the mission is ended [2]
The passage asks the reader, who is Muhammad specifically, if God has been a comfort and a remover of obstacles. Whatever personal sorrows this may bring to mind, “Surely, with each difficulty there is ease”. This may indeed be the key phrase of this sura; it is repeated in lines 5 and 6. Conversely, the reader is asked to continue their work diligently, even when it grows simple again – for God, Himself is what you are working for.
(اے نبیؐ) کیا ہم نے تمہارا سینہ تمہارے لیے کھول نہیں دیا؟ اور تم پر سے وہ بھاری بوجھ اتار دیا جو تمہاری کمر توڑے ڈال رہا تھا اور ہم نے تمہارے لیے تمہارا ذکر بلند کردیا پس حقیقت یہ ہے کہ تنگی کے ساتھ فراخی بھی ہے بے شک تنگی کے ساتھ فراخی بھی ہے لہٰذا جب تم فارغ ہو تو عبادت کی مشقت میں لگ جاؤ اور اپنے رب ہی کی طرف راغب ہو
Because of its subject matter, length, style, and placement in the Qur’an, this sura is often coupled with Surah ad-Dhuha (Sura 93). They are generally considered to have been revealed around the same time. Al-Inshirāḥ’s subject matter seems a continuation of the reassurance and encouragement given in the preceding chapter and so closely resembles it that both these Surah seem to have been revealed in about the same period under similar conditions.
