بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

With the name of Allâh, the Most Gracious, the Ever Merciful,

  1. 1 وَالْعَصْرِ I cite as witness the Time.
  2. 2 إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ Verily, a person (who is unmindful of God and higher values of his life) is pursuing a losing bargain.
  3. 3 إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ Different, however, is the case of those who believe and do deeds of righteousness and (who) exhort one another to (accept and preach) the truth and exhort one another to (abide by it with) patience and perseverance.
