Chapter 94 - FA'NSAB portion/share/rise
-
This is the Open Burhan translation here which is similar to Ali I think, but they all are similar in that the breast was expanded and a burden removed which did 'gall' the back, this is what made me think on these 3 verses.
Anyone who has had gallstones will know the pain is in the back, directly opposite the breast bone and like a heavy weight of extreme pain and that to remove a gall bladder to relieve this pain is done by going into the chest area. removal of gall bladder and/or stones is the ONLY relief, appart from large doses of Pethadine which I dont think were available then
Just something to think about
So what is the conclusion?
Allah mentions in the Quran about gallstones that Muhammad had rotfl

Peace all,
Here's my simple, common everyday English translation of chapter 94
Haven't We opened up your chest,
and We lifted from you your burden,
that had broken your back?
And We raised up for you your dignity.Then indeed, with the hardship, ease
Really, with the hardship, easeThen whenever you are freed, then set upright!
And to your Sustainer, then hope!I chose to translate AnSab/InSab as "set upright", as in "setting up/erecting stones for a mark/sign". This is the most basic/most readily comprehensible meaning of this word, imo, which suits the context perfectly.
"... fa'nSab and "... fa'rGab "
the latter, which i translated as "hope", is actually closer to desire/wish/longing, i.e. a very deep feeling of longing in one's self.
Thus, the most basic pictures of "AnSab"/"set upright", e.g., the erect/standing "up" posture, the "up"lifted spirit or condition, which are so obviously analagous to the lifting up of one's burden and the raising of one's dignity, is further aligned, as a suggestion, with a very deep feeling of longing toward one's Sustainer.
Then whenever you are freed, then set upright!
And to your Sustainer, then hope!Then again, we're used to the term "milestone" which is more or less a marking/sign of progress and direction, i.e. where one is going and how far/close he is to where he is going to. Suppose the above meaning ("setting up" of stones for a mark/sign) is indeed the most accurate meaning for AnSab, then the "picture" of the end of chapter 94 could also be seen as, "when you are set free (or feel "free/freed", then set marks/progress/goals/targets along the road/journey (i.e. life) toward your ultimate desire/wish that is your own Sustainer".
Then whenever you are freed, then set upright!
And to your Sustainer, then hope (wish/desire)!And this is a pretty straightforward observation, i think.
Peace

During the pain given by gallstone one cannot be 'upright' in a physical sense and neither can they be after removal of the gallbladder until you are free or eased of the pain of recovering.
I am not saying this IS what its about, but it seemed to hit a right spot with me when I read it, having been through that pain myself which is like a heavy weight on the back and removed through the chest.

Of course, Ayisha, i can easily imagine many people who were heavily burdened with a condition at some point in their life, then eventually were set free. Ease that comes with hardship -- just about any person can experience this.
The principles/patterns are universal and so wide, that i think it is a shame for people to put this chapter into a tiny little boxed scenario.
Let people "have" Quran, please.

look at other posters in this thread, they chose not to troll and instead add something to the thread
what, eh?
If people are free to utter their opinion, it does not mean they should utter whatever nonsense regarding Allah's book. -

How about taking a break from Ayisha and please do share your own understanding. It's free for people to share their own honest opinions here. Let's discuss it then.
