God’s promise in Surah al-Inyirah: Every difficulty must have comfort

Surah Al-Prinyiroh or what we usually know Alam Nasyrah is included in the category of short surah in the Qur’an which is very in its meaning. Consisting of 8 verses, this letter was revealed in Mecca and has a very motivating meaning and is able to arouse the spirit of optimism. When our burden feels so much, feel endless difficulties, failure, life pressure, and tests that often make our hearts fragile. So, that’s when God presents His eternal promise in Surah Al-Insyiroh. Not just a promise but this surah is the certainty of the Divine who has given a definite hope that every dead end will definitely open the spaciousness.

The interpretation scholars explained that this letter was revealed to entertain the Prophet who faced heavy pressure in his sermon. He was ridiculed, opposed and threatened to be killed by Quraish. However, Allah emphasized that Rasullullah’s chest was overthrown, his load was reduced and his name had been raised (QS Al-Insyiroh: 1-4) then Allah strengthened the Prophet’s heart with the eternal promise; Every difficulty will have comfort.

There are interesting things in this chapter, the use of words -words That’s a lot (together). God does not say ‘after difficulty there is ease‘But God said’Together with difficulties there is ease‘This is what shows that the difficulties and ease of coming together. The context of this difficulty is not a closed door but rather the road that opens the gap and the path for the presence of ease.

Quraish Shihab in the interpretation of Al-Misbah explained that the repetition of verse in the surah functions as an emphasis so that humans do not hesitate. Thus raising the view that this verse is not just a theological doctrine but is able to be a practical guide to the art of human life.

The promise of God in Surah is very relevant to our daily lives. Why? Because in this fast -paced era we are often trapped in excessive stress, worldly competition and life pressure. Not a few of us who lose direction, feel empty even can end in despair. This surah is the function of spirituality energy.

We as servants of God who believe should not be soluble in sadness, despair because God has promised this surah to us. Optimism in facing tests and difficulties is the right choice. Patience must also be involved, patience is the key to life. Not just patience then then surrender, but the determination to continue to struggle through the flow of difficulties and tests.

In verses 7-8 God insisted “When you finish from one business, then work hard for another. And only for your Lord, you hope” This shows that we cannot stop trying and only expecting God because if we expect humans, then we must be disappointed. After struggling, we also have to trust and strengthen our faith so that we can not only see this life with material glasses, but also with faith that can calm down.

In the end, God’s promise in Surah Al-Inyiroh is an eternal grip for us as servants of God. It is true that difficulties that we cannot avoid, but by going down this hill, Syria teaches us that every test is always accompanied by opportunities and facilities that God has given, depending on or not to try and believe. This belief is not only to be calm but also arouses the spirit to continue to fight. Tired but not giving up. So when we experience a lot of burden of life, feelings and sadness, we must return to God’s Word “Indeed, it is difficult to have ease.”

Thus the foot of the book of Jesus stepped back loudly and patiently, the optimistic soul returned to rise and hope only to God because God’s promise is certainty that will never be disobedient. So hope for God, never expect anyone except God Almighty.
