    Default Favorite Sura?

    bismillah
    assalamu alaykum

    do you have a favorite sura? i have many (as i am sure we all do) but recently have found much solace (aptly!) in sura 94

    In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
    1. Have we not caused thy bosom to dilate,
    2. And eased thee of the burden
    3. When weighed down thy back;
    4. And exalted thy fame?
    5. But lo! with hardship goeth ease
    6. Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
    7. So when thou art relieved, still toil
    8. And strive to please thy Lord.

    please share you favorites with me. i haven't read the entire Qur'an yet and your selections will inspire me as i continue, insha'Allah.

    Here is an alternate translation of the sura you just posted; without the old English. Some may find it easier (to understand).

    Al-Inshirah
    The Expanding


    In the name of Allah, All-Mericful, Most Merciful

    1 Did We not expand your breast for you
    2 and remove your load from you
    3 which weighed down your back?
    4 Did We not raise high your renown?

    5 For truly with hardship comes ease;
    6 truly with hardship comes ease.

    7 So when you have finished, work on,
    8 and make your Lord your goal!
