وَالْعَصْرِ

By time,

إِنَّ الإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ

Indeed, mankind is in loss,

[The Declining Day 103:2]

إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ

Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
