Surah al-Inshirah: “With Every Difficulty,
There is Relief.”
Introduction: Surah al-Inshirah
Surah
al-Insyirah (94:5) acts as a form of
consolation and encouragement for Muslims. It intends to boost up the
morale of believers, especially if they are going through dark and gloomy
phases.
In this Surah, Allah
declares beautifully, “Indeed, with every difficulty, comes relief.” He repeats
it to emphasize the message. Allah demands us to turn all attention
to Him and worship Him Alone.
So, Verily, With Every Difficulty, There is
Relief.
To appreciate the
beauty of this verse, we first need to understand the exact meaning
of the verse.
In this verse, Allah
uses the word “relief” in plural form. This implies that relief is always twice
as powerful as difficulties or suffering. As such, no matter how trying the
times may be, hardship can never overwhelm Allah’s Blessings.
It is the glad tidings
that come with the Promise of Allah that enlighten the heart. Thus, we
should avoid negative outlook, and be hopeful of better results ahead.
Allah repeats the
verse “So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief” for extra emphasis.
Compared to Allah’s Mercy, all our troubles, difficulties, problems and
challenges are minute and tiny. There is always a solution for any problem that
we might face. All we need to do is keep the faith, and follow His Path with
patience and righteousness.
This verse is
especially relevant in today’s context. The Muslim Ummah is struggling and
suffering all around the world. We need to remind ourselves of Allah’s Promise
to us, and stick to the Right Path. After all, with every difficulty, there is
relief.
