Surah Ash Sharh

The Openning Forth

And its other names are Surah Al-Inshirah and Surah Ash-Sharh.
Relevancy: This surah has several connections with Surah Ad-Duha. The first connection is that in Surah Ad-Duha, one type of consolation was given to the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace), while in this surah, consolation is given in another form. The second connection is that in Surah Ad-Duha, the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) was reminded of three blessings before prophethood, whereas in this surah, he is reminded of three blessings after prophethood.
Claim of this surah: Consolation is given to the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) in verses 5 and 6, and there is a promise that ease will come after hardship, based on the three mentioned blessings. Verses 7 and 8 encourage him towards inviting others to the truth. One name of Allah, "Rabb" (Lord), is mentioned, along with three attributes of action.
Summary of the surah: First, three blessings are recalled, followed by consolation through the promise of ease, and then encouragement for inviting others to the truth out of love for Allah.
Note: The primary objective of these two surahs is to establish the truthfulness of the Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and give him peace).

interpretation

[1] This verse mentions the first blessing, which is also referenced in the supplication of Musa (peace be upon him) in Surah Ta-Ha (25). It is a means of guidance, as stated in Surah Al-An‘am (125), and a source of light, as mentioned in Surah An-Nur (22). The meaning of "expanding the chest" is granting essential knowledge, deep understanding, and removing all kinds of doubts and uncertainties from the heart.
[2] This verse mentions the second blessing, which means that after granting prophethood, Allah made the mission of prophethood easier. "وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ" – "Wizr" refers to a heavy burden, and "removing the burden" means making it lighter and taking it away. The "wizr" here refers to the weight of prophethood, because the burden of revelation was so immense that, in the beginning, the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) was overwhelmed to the extent that he almost threw himself from the mountain, but Jibril (peace be upon him) prevented him. During revelation, even in severe winter, he would sweat profusely due to its intensity. However, Allah made this burden easier—He enabled the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) to learn the revelation smoothly. Moreover, delivering the message of revelation came with immense hardships and opposition from his people, but Allah facilitated even that for him.
[3] "(أَنْقَضَ)" – "Naqīḍ" refers to the sound produced due to the heaviness of a burden. Here, it signifies the weight and severity of the burden.
[4] This third blessing refers to the elevation of the mention of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and give him peace) in numerous ways:
1. His name is mentioned in the testimony of faith (Shahadah), the Adhan, and in sermons.
2. He is mentioned from the pulpits on Fridays, Eids, and in admonitions.
3. His name is recorded in the previous scriptures.
4. A covenant was taken from the previous prophets regarding him.
5. He is mentioned among the angels.
6. His name is associated with obedience to Allah: "Obey Allah and obey the Messenger." And in matters of seeking Allah’s pleasure: "Allah and His Messenger are more deserving to be pleased."
7. He is described with noble and lofty character.
