    About Surah Ash-Sharh

    Ash-Sharh, the Relief, continues the comfort of the previous surah, reminding the Prophet (peace be upon him) how Allah expanded his chest and lifted his burden. Its heart is the repeated promise that with hardship comes ease, said twice, and the call to keep striving and to turn to your Lord when one task is done.
