Assalamualikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
surat Al Asr
Verse 1: By (the token of) time.
Verse 2: Verily! Man is in loss.
Verse 3: Except those who believe
and do good works, and enjoin on
each other truth, and enjoin on each
other patience.

Quoted post :
I want to share an awesome analogy Br. Nouman Ali Khan made to this surat when he came to speak at Hopkins. Imagine that you are asleep and yet you are drowning in water. You don’t realize that you are drowning since you are asleep so you cannot save yourself (Verses 1-2). Now, imagine you wake-up and
acknowledge and realize you are drowning (Verse 3: except those who believe). Now that you realize you are drowning, you have to try to start swimming for your survival and salvation (Verse 3: and do good works). Nevertheless, consider that you realize when you are drowning, that your family and friends are chained to you. Therefore, they are taking you deeper in the water with
them. What do you have to do? You have to try to wake them up so that
they realize you and them are both drowning (Verse 3: and enjoin on
each other truth). Now, consider this, one of your uncles is a very heavy
sleeper. He refuses to wake-up. What are you going to do? Would you give
up and let him take you down? No! Of course, you would continously try
to keep waking this uncle of yours up until you either survive or die
(Verse 3: and enjoin on each other patience).

What an awesome analogy of Surat al-Asr! I love this analogy. Imam Shafii (rahmatullah) had stated that if only people truly considered this Surat well enough, it would suffice enough for their guidance. Abdullah bin Hisn ad-Darimi Abu Madinah narrated that whenever any two of the Companions met they would not part company until they had recited
Surah al-Asr to each other (found in Tabarani). Insha’Allah, we all can benefit greatly from this awesome Surah!
Ya ALLAH! ALLAH is sufficient for me,how fine a trustee (He is).

Surah 111 Al-Massad [The Palm Fiber]
The Palm Fiber

1 Perish the two hands of Abu Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet) and perish he!
2 His wealth and his children will not benefit him!
3 He will be burnt in a Fire of blazing flames!
4 And his wife, too, who carries wood (thorns of Sa'dan which she used to put on the way of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, or use to slander him).
5 In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad (palm fibre).

Surah 110 An-Nasr [The Help]

1 When there comes the Help of Allah (to you, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم against your enemies) and the conquest (of Makkah).
2 And you see that the people enter Allah's religion (Islam) in crowds.
3 So glorify the Praises of your Lord, and ask His Forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives

Surah 112 Al-Ikhlas / At-Tauhid [The Purity]
The Purity

1 Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "He is Allah, (the) One.
2 "Allah-us-Samad (السيد الذي يصمد إليه في الحاجات) [Allah the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)].
3 "He begets not, nor was He begotten.
4 "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

Surah 113 Al-Falaq [The Daybreak]

1 Say: "I seek refuge with (Allah), the Lord of the daybreak,
2 "From the evil of what He has created,
3 "And from the evil of the darkening (night) as it comes with its darkness; (or the moon as it sets or goes away),
4 "And from the evil of those who practise witchcraft when they blow in the knots,
5 "And from the evil of the envier when he envies."
