Chapter 94 - FA'NSAB portion/share/rise

Ayisha

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, ease

Then 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&quot, 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.

san

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.

Mazhar

and We have since laid off from you the burden of yours,
which was heavily placed on your back/self;

I disagree. There were many messengers that undertook delivering Gods message and your translation of this, which is unlike all the others, is saying he is now relieved of it, was this the last and final verse revealed?

Peace Raaajah,

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.
