In the Name of Allaah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. |

1. |
Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam)? |
 |
2. |
And removed from you your burden, |
 |
3. |
Which weighed down your back? |
 |
4. |
And raised high your fame? |
 |
5. |
So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, |
 |
6. |
Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). |
 |
7. |
So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allaah's worship (i.e. stand up for prayer). |
 |
8. |
And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations. |
