Translation of Quran Chapter The Opening Forth 

The Opening Forth 

Have We not uplifted your heart for you, ˹O Prophet˺, relieved you of the burden which weighed so heavily on your back, and elevated your renown for you? So, indeed, with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with ˹that˺ hardship comes ˹more˺ ease. So once you have fulfilled ˹your duty˺, strive ˹in devotion˺, turning to your Lord ˹alone˺ with hope.
