In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the declining day,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالْعَصْرِ
By (the Token of) Time (through the ages),
Lo! man is a state of loss,
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ
Verily Man is in loss,
Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ
Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy.
