A Prayer For My Son - Surah Al Inshirah (Solace) (BM- Kelapangan)

I dedicate this surah as a prayer for my son:

1              Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him))?  

 2             And removed from you your burden,  

 3             Which weighed down your back?  

 4             And raised high your fame?  

 5             So verily, with the hardship, there is relief,  

 6             Verily, with the hardship, there is relief (i.e. there is one hardship with two reliefs, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs).  

7             So when you have finished (from your occupation), then stand up for Allahs worship (i.e. stand up for prayer).  

 8             And to your Lord (Alone) turn (all your intentions and hopes and) your invocations. 

Amin.
