Al-‘Asr

وَالْعَصْرِ ١

By the declining day,

إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ ٢

Lo! man is a state of loss,

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ ٣

Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.
