Bu sura 93-sura, "Tong nurlari" surasidan so'ng, undan keyin nozil bo'lgandek, uning davomi kabi nozil qilindi. Bu yerda ham hamdardlik tuyg'ulari va do'stona, yoqimli suhbat ruhi mo'l. Unda Payg'ambar ﷺ ga nisbatan ilohiy g'amxo'rlik tasvirlanadi va uning haqida qayg'urilib qabul qilingan choralar bayon etiladi. Sura, shuningdek, yaqinlashib kelayotgan yengillik haqida xushxabar beradi, Payg'ambar ﷺ ga yengillik sirini ko'rsatadi va uning Alloh bilan mustahkam aloqalarini ta'kidlaydi.
Note: the original says "God" throughout, so I have used the Uzbek word for God rather than "Allah" in the translation above.
This sūrah was revealed soon after the preceding one, Sūrah 93, The Morning Hours, as if it were a continuation of it. Here, also, the feelings of sympathy and an atmosphere of delightful, friendly discourse abound. It portrays the divine care the Prophet enjoys and explains the measures taken out of concern for him. The sūrah also gives the good news of forthcoming relief, points out to the Prophet the secret of ease, and emphasizes his strong ties with God.
“Biz sizning ko‘nglingizni kengaytirmadikmi, va sizdan og‘ir yukingizni olib tashlamadikmi, u sizning belingizni bukkan edi? Va sizning shon-shuhratingizni yuksaltirmadikmi?” (1-4-oyatlar) Bu shuni anglatadiki, Payg‘ambar ﷺ o‘zига ishonilgan xabar va uning yo‘lidagi to‘siqlar haqida qandaydir tashvishga tushgan edi. Bu oyatlar, shuningdek, uning risolatiga duch kelgan qiyinchiliklar uning yuragiga og‘ir botganini va unga shoshilinch yordam hamda qo‘llab-quvvatlash zarurligini his qilganini ko‘rsatadi. Shu sababli bu tasalli beruvchi murojaat qilingan.
“Have We not opened up your heart, and relieved you of your burden, which weighed heavily on your back? And have We not given you high renown?” (Verses 1-4) This suggests that the Prophet was troubled for some reason concerning the message he was entrusted with, and the obstacles in its way. These verses also suggest that the difficulties facing his mission weighed heavily on his heart, making him feel the need for urgent help and backing. Hence this comforting address.
“Biz sizning ko‘kragingizni kengaytirib qo‘ymadikmi?” Bu xabarga ko‘nglingiz isinishi uchun. Biz uni sizga osonlashtirmadikmi, sizga yoqimli qilmadikmi, uning yo‘lini belgilab bermadikmi va uning baxtli oqibatini ko‘rishingiz uchun sizga nurlantirmadikmi? Qalbingizga qarang! Uning nur, baxt va tasalli bilan to‘lganini ko‘rmayapsizmi? Sizga ato etilgan barcha ne’matlar natijasida yuzaga kelgan ta’sirlar haqida o‘ylab ko‘ring! Har bir qiyinchilikda tasalli topmayapsizmi va yuzlashgan har qanday mahrumlikda xotirjamlik topmayapsizmi?
“Have We not opened up your heart,” so that it may warm to this message? Have We not facilitated it for you, endeared it to you, defined its path and illuminated it for you to see its happy end? Look into your heart! Do you not see it to be full of light, happiness and solace? Reflect on the effects brought about by all the favours bestowed on you! Do you not feel comfort with every difficulty, and find contentment with every kind of deprivation you suffer?
“Va sizdan og'irligingizni, belingizni bukkan yukingizni yengillatmadimmi?” (2-3-oyatlar)
“And relieved you of your burden, which weighed heavily on your back?” (Verses 2-3)
Sizning yukingiz shunchalik og‘ir ediki, u belingizni deyarli sindirardi, ammo Biz sizdan uni yengil qildik. Bu yengillik yuragingizga ko‘tarinkilik berish shaklida bo‘ldiki, shunda siz vazifangizni osonroq his qilasiz va uning yukini ko‘tarish unchalik og‘ir bo‘lmaydi. Yengilliкning yana bir jihati shu ediki, sizga vazifangizni qanday ado etish va odamlarning qalbiga qanday murojaat qilish haqida yo‘l-yo‘riq berildi. Bundan tashqari, Qur’on vahiysida sizga yengillik bor, u haqiqatni bayon qiladi va uni odamlarga osonlik va muloyimlik bilan yetkazishga yordam beradi.
Your burden was so heavy that it almost broke your back, but We relieved you of that. Relief took the form of giving your heart a lift so that you might feel your mission easier and your burden not so hard to shoulder. Another aspect of the relief was the guidance you received on how to discharge your mission and how to appeal to people’s hearts. Furthermore, there is relief for you in the revelation of the Qur’ān which explains the truth and helps you to drive it home to people easily and gently.
Bu og'irligingizni qanday og'ir bo'lganini eslaganingizda, buni his qilmaysizmi? Biz sizning ko'nglingizni ochganimizdan keyin, u yengillashganini his qilmaysizmi?
Do you not feel all this when you think of how heavy your burden was? Do you not feel it to be lighter after We opened up your heart?
"Va biz sizning shuhratingizni baland qilmadikmi?" (4-oyat) Biz sizni yuqoridagilar, yer yuzidagilar va butun koinotdagilar orasida ulug‘ladik. Sizning nomingiz Allohning nomi bilan birga zikr qilinadigan bo‘lganida, biz shuhratingizni chindan ham yuksaltirdik. "Allohdan o‘zga iloh yo‘q, Muhammad ﷺ Allohning Elchisidir." Bu, haqiqatan ham, eng yuksak maqtovdir. Bu martaba faqat Muhammad ﷺ ga berilgan bo‘lib, bunda boshqa hech kimning ulushi yo‘q. Alloh xohladiki, bir asr ortidan boshqa asr kelsin, avlodlar avlodlarni almashtirsin, dunyoning barcha burchaklarida millionlab odamlar Muhammad ﷺ ning muborak nomini unga salovat va duolar yuborish bilan ulug‘lasin, uning chuqur muhabbati esa ularning qalbiga mustahkam o‘rnashsin. Sizning nomingiz ushbu ilohiy hayot tarzi bilan bog‘langanda, shuhratingiz uzoq-uzoqlarga yoyildi.
“And have We not given you high renown?” (Verse 4) We exalted you among those on high, on earth and in the whole universe. We raised your fame high indeed as we associated your name with that of God’s whenever it is pronounced. “No Deity but God, Muĥammad is God’s Messenger.” Indeed, this is the highest degree of praise. It is a position granted only to Muĥammad, with no share of it to anyone else. God has willed that one century should turn after another and generations succeed generations with millions and millions of people in all corners of the world honouring the blessed name of Muĥammad with prayers for peace and blessings to be granted him, and with his profound love entrenched in their hearts. Your fame spread far and wide when your name became associated with this divine way of life.
Albatta, sizning bu vazifa uchun tanlanganingizning o‘zi shunday bir ulug‘likki, koinotda boshqa hech kim unga intila olmaydi. Bu inoyatdan keyin, barcha qiyinchiliklarni shifo bilan yo‘qotadigan bu marhamatdan so‘ng, qanday qilib qayg‘u yoki mashaqqat tuyg‘usi qolishi mumkin?
Certainly the mere fact that you were chosen for this task is an exaltation to which no one else in this universe can ever aspire. How can there remain any feeling of affliction or hardship after this favour which heals all such difficulties?
Ammo Xudo, o'z sevimli elchisiga mehr bilan murojaat qiladi. U uni tasalli beradi va ishontiradi, unga qanday qilib uzluksiz yengillik ato etganini tushuntiradi. "Albatta, qiyinchilik bilan birga yengillik bor. Haqiqatan, har bir qiyinchilik bilan birga yengillik bor." (5-6-oyatlar) Qiyinchilik hech qachon mutlaq emas, chunki unga doim yengillik hamroh bo'ladi. Yukingiz og'ir bo'lib qolganda, Biz qalbingizni ko'tarib, sizni yengillashtirdik.
God, nevertheless, addresses His beloved messenger kindly. He comforts and reassures him, explaining to him how He has given him unceasing ease. “With hardship comes ease. Indeed, with every hardship comes ease.” (Verses 5-6) Hardship is never absolute, for ease always accompanies it. When your burden became too heavy, We lifted up your heart and relieved you.
Bu narsa "Albatta, qiyinchilik bilan birga yengillik bor" degan gapning so'zma-so'z takrorlanishi bilan qattiq ta'kidlangan. Bu takror Payg'ambarimiz ﷺ katta qiyinchilik va ko'p musibatlarga duch kelganlarini anglatadi. Bu eslatma Payg'ambarimiz ﷺ ga ko'rsatilgan turli xil g'amxo'rlik va e'tiborni eslatadi, so'ngra uni qat'iy tasalli beradi. Muhammad ﷺ ning qalbini shunchalik qattiq ezayotgan masala albatta juda jiddiy bo'lishi kerak.
This is strongly emphasized by a literal repetition of the statement: “With hardship comes ease.” The repetition suggests that the Prophet had endured serious hardship and much affliction. This reminder recalls the various aspects of care and concern shown to the Prophet and then reassures him emphatically. A matter which afflicts Muĥammad’s soul so much must be very serious indeed.
Shundan so'ng, musulmonlarga qiyin va uzoq yo'llarida katta yordam beradigan, qalblar va ruhlarni ko'taradigan omillar hamda tasalli beruvchi jihatlarni ko'rsatuvchi bayonot keladi: {“Bas, (vazifangni) tugatgach, (ibodatga) astoydil kirishgin va Parvardigoringgagina intilgin.”} (7-8-oyatlar)
Then follows a statement pointing out the aspects of comfort and the factors contributing to the lifting up of hearts and spirits, which is of great help to Muslims as they travel along their hard and long way: “When you have completed your task resume your toil, and to your Lord turn with love.” (Verses 7-8)
Qiyinchilik bilan birga yengillik ham bor, shuning uchun tasalli va huzur izlang. Xabaringizni yetkazish bilan bog'liq bo'ladimi yoki bu dunyo ishlaridan biri bo'ladimi, qilishingiz kerak bo'lgan ishlaringizni tugatganingizdan so'ng, butun qalbingiz bilan mehnat va intilishga loyiq bo'lgan narsaga, ya'ni ibodat va ibodatdagi sadoqatga yuzlaning. "Va Rabbingizga ishtiyoq bilan yuzlaning." (8-oyat) Faqat Unga intiling va hech narsa sizni chalg'itmasin. Unga iymon keltirishga chaqirgan odamlarni hech qachon o'ylamang. Yo'lovchida o'zi bilan birga ozuqa bo'lishi kerak, bu esa sizning safaringiz uchun haqiqiy ozuqadir. Bir maqsad uchun kurashuvchining jihozi bo'lishi kerak, bu esa siz uchun zarur bo'lgan jihozdir. Bu sizga duch kelishingiz mumkin bo'lgan har qanday qiyinchilikda yengillik, va chekishingiz mumkin bo'lgan har xil musibatga qarshi tasalli beradi.
With hardship goes ease, so seek relief and solace. When you have finished whatever you may have to do, be it a matter relating to the delivery of your message or an affair of this life, then turn with all your heart to what deserves your toil and striving, namely devotion and dedication in worship. “And to your Lord turn with love.” (Verse 8) Seek Him alone and let nothing whatsoever distract you. Do not ever think of the people you call on to believe in Him. A traveller must have his food with him, and this is the real food for your journey. A fighter for a cause needs to have his equipment, and this is the equipment necessary for you. This will provide you with ease in every difficulty you may encounter, and with comfort against every kind of affliction you may suffer.
Bu surа ham oldingi surа — "Duho" surasi bilan bir xil ohangda tugaydi. U bizda ikki o'zaro bog'liq tuyg'uni qoldiradi. Birinchisi — Payg'ambarga ko'rsatilgan buyuk mehrni anglash bo'lib, bu mehr uni hayratga soldi, chunki bu Rabbining, Rahmon va Rahim Zotning mehri edi ﷺ. Ikkinchi tuyg'u — uning muborak zotiga ko'rsatilgan hamdardlikdir ﷺ. Ul zotning muborak qalbida o'sha paytda nima kechayotganini deyarli his qilamiz; bu esa, shirin mehrga ega bo'lgan eslatmani talab qilgan edi.
The sūrah ends on the same note as the preceding sūrah, The Morning Hours. It leaves us with two intertwined feelings. The first is a realization of the great affection shown to the Prophet, which overwhelmed him because it was the love of his Lord, the Compassionate, the Merciful. The other feeling is one of sympathy shown to his noble self. We can almost feel what was going on in his blessed heart at that time which required this reminder of delightful affection.
Bu Islomning vazifasi: og'ir amanat va uni bosib turgan yuk. Shunga qaramay, bu ilohiy nurning porlashi, fonoylik bilan abadiylik, mavjudlik bilan yo'qlik o'rtasidagi bog'lovchi halqadir.
It is this mission of Islam: a grave trust and a burden which weighs him down. It is nevertheless the rising of the divine light, the link between mortality and eternity, existence and non-existence.
