Watch Dr Musharraf Hussain sharing his thoughts and analysis of Surat Al-Asr. The short and pithy message of this Makkan surat is a moving description of those who are mindful. Imam Shafie (d.820 AH) expressed this eloquently when he said: “If people thought deeply just about this one surat, it would be enough for them”. This is because it simply states the obvious as time passes, man is at loss, except those blessed ones who do four things:
- Believe in Allah and His Messenger
- Act righteously
- Encourage each other to be truthful
- Encourage each other to be patient
Translation
In the name of Allah, the Kind, the Caring.
Humans are at a loss unless they are righteous
By the age, humans are at a loss, except the believers who are righteous and encourage each other to be truthful and patient.
