In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))? (Quran Surah Ash-Sharḥ 94:1)

And removed from you your burden, (Quran 94:2)

Which weighed down your back? (Quran 94:3)

So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, (Quran 94:5)

Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs). (Quran 94:6)

So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allah's worship (i.e. stand up for prayer). (Quran 94:7)

And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations. (Quran 94:8)
