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

A či sme ti (Muhammad) neuvoľnili hruď tvoju (a svetlom múdrosti nenaplnili, aby si prijal vnuknutie Bohom zoslané a mal trpezlivosť a silu znášať ubližovanie a ťažkostí ľudí) ?1
  • Zvestovanie a vnukanie Koránu poslovi a prorokovi Muhammadovi (p.) prostredníctvom anjela Gabriela bolo pre posla Muhammada veľmi obtiažne a vyčerpávajúce. Veď sám Boh, nad ktorým vyššieho niet, v Koráne hovorí: „Keby sme zoslali dole tento Korán na horu, uvidel by si ju pokornú, popraskanú od strachu pred Bohom“ verš 59:21.
