The annoying thing about #English translations of #Arabic verses of the #Quran is the Western interpretations added:
so here the verse says "with" difficulty, ease
but translators impose their limited understanding and add "after".
There is no after: the verse says
"with hardship, ease"
meaning that when we go through hard times, **with** the hardtimes there **is** ease *at the same time*. Allah knows best.
