فَوَقَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ شَرَّ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ وَلَقَّىٰهُمْ نَضْرَةًۭ وَسُرُورًۭا
Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy;

What It Means: Reading in Context
This verse follows the givers’ words in 76:8–10, already in the library. After their concern about the Day of Judgement, the passage describes Allah’s protection and joy for them. Verse 76:12 continues with their reward for endurance. This is a Hereafter setting, not a guarantee of immediate relief from every worldly difficulty. Hope in these passages is connected with turning toward Allah, mercy and continuing to act. Read the closing verses of Ash-Sharh alongside the assurance about hardship and ease. A reminder can encourage you without promising that a particular problem will disappear on a particular timetable. The verses are presented with their references so you can return to the whole passage rather than rely on a detached slogan. Our suggested reflections are prompts for everyday action, not additional scripture. Take time with the words and consider the context before sharing them with someone whose circumstances may be different from your own.
