The entire world knows about and follows the proverb, “Time is money”. The life of a scholar at school or at college depends greatly on scheduling its course work and making a good time table in order to succeed in its exams. Same way, every other person, irrespective of its walk of life, recognizes the great significance of every passing moment and needs to get the best out of it. The Islamic point of view regarding Time is also the same, but it follows a greater implication than just succeeding this world. For every true believer knows that life on earth is temporary and its eternal accomplishment lies in terms of pleasing Allah SWT and living its life according to His Commandments. The Almighty Lord says in the Holy Quran in Chapter Al-Asr:
وَالْعَصْرِ ⃝ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ ⃝ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ ⃝
Translation -“By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.” [Quran, 103: 1-3]
Transliteration – WalAAasr . Inna al-insana lafee khusr . Illa allatheena amanoowaAAamiloo assalihati watawasaw bilhaqqiwatawasaw bissabr.

The above mentioned Ayahs explain the worth of time in life of a Muslim. The Creator of the world of the worlds declares time as a great measure of one`s success or failure. The Exalted One says that with every advancing moment of existence, human has a great warning that is associated with it. But there are also those who will be victorious in the afterlife: those who have complete faith in Allah and His Messenger ﷺ; live a life of morality and uprightness; and preach each other towards adoption of honesty and serenity in all matters. It is highly imperative to realize the value of all these four commandments which Allah SWT has prescribed for His servants, for these are the words of the Almighty and are deemed as one`s way of evaluation of triumph or disappointment.
Surah Al-Asr is one of the earliest Chapters of Quran Majeed, which was revealed in Makkah, and is also the second shortest Section of Furqan e Hameed after Surah Al-Kawthar. Despite having just three verses, it is considered to be the essence of the entire Holy Quran, as it is a tremendous means of salvation. This Surah brings one`s focus towards four basic Islamic ideologies and beliefs, which result in attaining a state of rectitude and decency in all issues of life.
