Surah Al-Asr

103

The surah's big idea

Time is a treasure; the winners believe and do good

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

One branch per meaning, one node per verse. Reveal the branches one at a time; listen to each branch and repeat it before the next.

  إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
Except those who believe in Allah, do good deeds, and remind each other to hold on to the truth and to be patient. These four together are the way out of loss.
