Surah Al-ʻAṣr

In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

By Al-'Asr (the time). (Quran Surah Al-ʻAṣr 103:1)

Verily! Man is in loss, (Quran 103:2)

Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Ma'ruf) which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar) which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad, etc.). (Quran 103:3)
