Ash-Sharh 94:7

What It Means: Reading in Context

This verse follows the repeated reassurance about hardship and ease in 94:5–6. It should be read with 94:8, which directs the striving towards the Lord. The closing pair belongs to the surah’s address to the Prophet; it should not be reduced to a demand for endless worldly productivity. This entry presents Qur’an 94:7 from Surah Ash-Sharh, with Arabic text and Marmaduke Pickthall’s English translation. The translation conveys meaning in English; it is not a replacement for the Arabic Qur’an. Read the linked passage with the verses before and after it, particularly when a sentence continues across verse boundaries. The topics shown here are editorial reading aids rather than an exhaustive interpretation of the passage. Our short reflection offers a possible practical response, clearly separated from scripture. It should not be repeated as a verse, hadith or authoritative tafsir. For detailed interpretation or questions about religious practice, consult qualified scholarship and the complete source.
