Openingal-Sharḥ ( الشرح )

8 verses • revealed at Meccan

»The surah that opens with a reassurance to the Prophet Muḥammad that his divine appointment to receive God’s revelation has been nothing less than the Opening of the breast to sacred wisdom and guidance, and that thereby he has been honoured for all time, made well-able to bear the mantle of prophethood, and that ultimately and inevitably he shall be eased unto success. It is named “opening” after the phrase “did We not open” (a lam nashraḥ) in verse 1. The surah is a continuation of the reassurance and encouragement given in the previous surah.«

أَلَم نَشرَح لَكَ صَدرَكَ

André Chouraqui

La quatre-vingt-quatorzième sourate, douzième selon l’ordre chronologique, compte huit versets. Elle semble avoir été proclamée peu après la sourate 93 dont elle prolonge les échos. Les symboles les plus lumineux montrent qu’Allah a créé l’homme pour les perfections du Paradis. À lui d’y atteindre.
