103. Surah Al-Asr (The Time)

Sūrat al-‘Aṣr (Arabic: سورة العصر‎, "The Declining Day, Eventide, The Epoch, Time") is the 103rd sūrah of the Qur’ān, the Muslim holy book. It contains three āyāt. Surat al-‘Asr is the second shortest sura after al-Kawthar.

This sura is a Meccan surah, meaning it was revealed in Mecca, instead of Medina. This sura teaches that all human beings are in loss, except those who have Iman (believe in Allah), do righteous deeds and remind others of the Haqq (truth, rights, reality) and remind others of Sabr(patience).

                        
                                               

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

1. By the declining day, 

2. Lo! man is a state of loss, 

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