In this video Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan teaches us that Surat Ash-Sharh is one of only four surahs in the Qur’an that address Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) exclusively. Here Allah consoles His beloved messenger by reminding him that He has elevated his mention within the heavens.

The consoling words of Allah in the central verses of the surah are a message of hope to the Prophet, and by extension to all believers who live their lives in the path of Allah.

Allah reiterates that within difficulty there is ease. In fact it is only through trials and toil that we can taste the sweetness of ease and contentment both in this world and in the afterlife.
