Tafsir of Surah Al-Asr
Allah Says:
وَالْعَصْرِ
إِنَّ الاِْنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ
By Al-`Asr. , Verily, man is in loss.
Al-`Asr is the time in which the movements of the Children of Adam occur, whether good or evil.
Malik narrated from Zayd bin Aslam that he said, It is the evening.
However, the first view is the popular opinion. Thus, Allah swears by this, that man is in
خُسْرٍ
(Khusr), which means in loss and destruction
إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَـتِ
Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds.
So Allah makes an exception, among the species of man being in loss, for those who believe in their hearts and work righteous deeds with their limbs.
وَتَوَاصَوْاْ بِالْحَقِّ
And recommend one another to the truth,
This is to perform acts of obedience and avoid the forbidden things.
وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ
And recommend one another to patience.
meaning, with the plots, the evils, and the harms of those who harm people due to their commanding them to do good and forbidding them from evil.
This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-`Asr, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
