The Afternoon

In the name of GOD, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

bis'mi l-lahi l-raḥmāni l-raḥīm

By the afternoon.

وَٱلْعَصْرِ

wal-ʿaṣr

The human being is utterly lost.

إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ

inna l-insāna lafī khus'ri

Except those who believe and lead a righteous life, and exhort one another to uphold the truth, and exhort one another to be steadfast.

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ

illā alladhīna āmanū waʿamilū l-ṣāliḥāti watawāṣaw bil-ḥaqi watawāṣaw bil-ṣabr
