Al-‘Asr

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 1

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنَ لَفِي خُسۡرٍ

2. Indeed, man is surely in total loss1,

1. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let the slave of Dinar and Dirham (i.e., the person greedy or grasping, concerned with gaining wealth and money) perish, let the slave of Quantify and Khamisa (i.e., clothes and garments) perish, as he is pleased if these things are given to him, and if not, he is displeased. Let such a person perish and relapse, and if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him. Paradise is for him who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah's Cause, with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust: if he is appointed in the vanguard, he is perfectly satisfied with his post of guarding, and if he is appointed in the rearward, he accepts his post with satisfaction; (i e., he is so simple and unambiguous that) if he asks for permission he is not permitted, and if he intercedes, his intercession is not accepted." In fact mankind are in loss.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوۡاْ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ

3. Except those who believe, do righteous deeds, exhort one another to Truth2, and exhort one another to patience3.

2. Here Allāh has shown you, O people in this short chapter what is salvation, and what does Allāh 'God' require of you? He requires to believe in Him and to live a life of humility and submission to His will following His last and final message, the Qur’an, to believe in His messengers whose last is the prophet Muhammad and before him Jesus as living examples for you, to do righteous deeds of praying regularly and paying the poor-rate among other good deeds, to act justly and be fair and righteous in how you treat others and to be devoted and show loving-kindness and compassion giving preference to one another, loving, caring, serving. Advising one another to perform all kinds of good deeds which Allāh has ordained in the Qur’an and through His messenger, the Prophet Muhammad, and abstaining from all kinds of idolatry and sins which Allāh and His messenger has forbidden that will keep you out of heaven.
3. Slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. To be patient in performaning the good deeds, and patient in abstaining from the evil desires. Patient for the sufferings, harms, which one may encounter in this world.
