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