In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
	1		By Al-'Asr ( the time ).
	2		Verily! Man is in loss,
	3		Except those who believe ( in Islâmic 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'rûf ) which Allâh has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds ( Al-Munkar ) which Allâh has forbidden ), and recommend one another to patience ( for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allâh's Cause during preaching His religion of Islâmic Monotheism or Jihâd, etc. ).
