Surah Al-Asr (The Afternoon)

Recitation by Sheikh Saad Said Al Ghamidi
Translation by Sahih International

Summary: Surah Al Asr is the 103rd sura of the Qur'an. It contains 3 verses, and is believed to be an early Meccan surah (although a few commentators consider it Madinan.) It is said to have sparked the conversion of Amr ibn al-As after he recited it to the self-proclaimed prophet Musaylimah and he responded with a "surah" about the hyrax which Amr ibn al-As rejected as absurd. The surah teaches that all mankind are in loss, except those who believe in Allah (God) and Muhammad, and those who remind others of the truth and with patience and constancy. This is the second shortest surah, after Al Kawthar.

English translation (Sahih International): (1) By time, (2) Indeed, mankind is in loss, (3) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
