In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

“Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,” (94:1)
0:25
"And We removed from you your burden,"
0:29
"Which weighed upon your back,"
0:33
"And raised high for you your repute."
0:36
“But lo! with hardship goeth ease,” (94:5)
0:44
"So when you have finished, then stand up [for worship],"
0:47
"And to your Lord direct your longing."
0:52
Have We not expanded your chest, O Muhammad, for guidance,
0:55
And for faith in Allah and the knowledge of the truth?
0:58
We softened your heart and made it a vessel for wisdom.
1:03
We forgave you your past sins,
1:06
And we removed from you the burden of the days of ignorance in which you lived,
1:11
Which weighed upon your back and weakened it.
1:14
And We raised high for you your repute,
1:16
So that you are never mentioned except that I am mentioned with you.
1:20
For with the hardship you are experiencing, there is hope and relief,
1:24
In that He will grant you victory over them until they submit to the truth you brought them, whether willingly or unwillingly.
1:31
Then He commanded His Prophet to devote his leisure time away from all that had occupied him,
1:37
Whether of worldly or otherworldly affairs that had previously engaged him.
1:41
He commanded him to occupy himself with exertion in His worship,
1:45
And to busy himself with that which draws him closer to Him and to ask Him for his needs.
1:50
And to your Lord, O Muhammad, direct your longing,
1:53
Rather than to anyone else among His creation,
1:56
Since those polytheists among your people
1:59
Had directed their longing for their needs toward idols and false deities.
