Chapter 103, 3 verses
Beim Zeitalter!
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By Al-'Asr (the time).
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the declining day,
وَٱلْعَصْرِ
Der Mensch befindet sich wahrlich in Verlust,
Verily, man is in loss,
Lo! man is a state of loss,
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun und einander die Wahrheit eindringlich empfehlen und einander die Standhaftigkeit eindringlich empfehlen.
Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Ma'ruf) which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar which Allah has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of Islamic Monotheism or Jihad).
Save those who believe and do good works, and exhort one another to truth and exhort one another to endurance.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
