Surah al-Inshirah ayah 1

Arabic text

A lam nashrah la ka sadrak

Have We not opened your breast for you?

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah:

The verse means that Allah has made the heart of the Prophet large, then expanded it and filled it with mercy and kindness. At another place, Allah said, "And whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his breast to Islam" (Surah al-An'am ayah 125). As Allah made the heart of the Prophet large and vast, in a similar way He made the Shari'a with no traces of narrowness and hardship
