بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

وَالْعَصْرِ

By oath of this era of yours (O dear Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him).

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ

Indeed man is surely in a loss.

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ

Except those who accepted faith, and did good deeds and urged one another to the truth – and urged one another to have patience.
