Surah Ash-Sharh — 94:6

إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا

Inna ma'al 'usri yusra

indeed, with hardship comes ease.

Reflection

The line arrives a second time with the connective dropped: verse five draws its conclusion from what came before it, while this one stands on its own as a flat statement. Commentators split over whether that makes it emphasis or a separate second promise. What follows settles the tone either way, since the surah moves directly from consolation into an instruction to get back to work and to turn toward the Lord.

Read 94:5–6 together

Read verses 5 and 6 together. The reassurance is repeated within a surah that recalls the Prophet’s burdens and the help he has received, then calls him to renewed effort and hope in his Lord (94:1–8). The wording places ease with hardship; it does not give a timetable for when a particular difficulty will end. Read the whole surah alongside these verses, and allow the passage to support hope without turning it into a prediction about your circumstances.
