Meaning of Surah Alam Nashrah
The surah comes to console the Prophet (SAW) who before this was in a state of unease and discomfort. This satisfies him to such an extent that he is now happy and content with what Allah has given him.
- Surahs for spiritual, physical and mental help
The barriers between the Prophet (SAW) and him understanding the revelations have been removed. So when he receives the revelations, he understands it fully.
It also lets him know that the period of hardship he is going through now will be over quickly and soon will follow ease, and the latter part of his life will be better than the earlier.
