بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ
the human being is doomed to suffer loss,
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ
except the righteously striving believers who exhort each other to truthful purposes and to patience.
