About Surah Ash-Sharh
A short companion piece to Ad-Duha, this surah reassures the Prophet that his chest has been expanded and his burden eased, and delivers one of the Quran's most quoted lines of comfort: that with hardship comes ease — repeated twice for emphasis. It closes by instructing him, once free from one task, to turn diligently toward another, and to direct his hopes and longing toward his Lord alone.
