Learn Sūrat al-ʿAṣr
Read it below, then recite it aloud and let Qiraa correct you word by word.
What Sūrat al-ʿAṣr is about
Sūrat al-ʿAṣr has 3 āyāt in the thirtieth juzʼ, and is one of the shortest sūrahs of the Qurʼān. It opens with an oath by time, which gives the sūrah its name (103:1).
Its message fits in one sentence: the human is in loss (103:2), except those who believe, do good deeds, urge one another to the truth, and urge one another to patience (103:3). Four things lift a person out of loss, and two of them are done together with others.
- Āyāt 1–3
Except those who believe
By time, the human is in loss, except those who believe and do good, and urge one another to the truth, and urge one another to patience.
