Surah 94. Inshirah (The Expansion)

Verses 8 — Makki; Revealed at Mecca — Sections 1

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

1. Have We not expanded thee thy breast?—

2. And removed from thee thy burden

3. The which did gall thy back?—

4. And raised high the esteem (in which) thou (art held)?

5. So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:

6. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief.

7. Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard,

8. And to thy Lord turn (all) thy attention.
