Surah Al-Asr- The Declining day, The time



I had been blogging about the faces of life and how to overcome those problems.
i had been reading Surah Al-Asr  all the time from past few days and when i came across its meaning.
those were beautiful and so soothing.i went through many tafsir of different scholars.and i decided to give my own opinion on each verse. 
i tried to interrelate Al-Asr with the lives of people in today's era.

Before i start with tafsir let me write a brief note on Al-Asr.


  • The famous scholars. qatada, mujahid and muqatil contend that it was revealed in madina in the meccan period, and it was the thirteen chapter revealed to prophet (p.b.u.h) during the times when pegan meccan used to say that Prophet (p.b.u.h) is a loser.



  • Urdu Form:  Tamam Walli ullah jaise kay qatada,mujahid, mutaqil kehte hain k yeh surah madina main utaari gayi hai jab mecca ka daur tha. us dauraan jab nabi kareem (p.b.u.h) ko makki logon ne tang kiya huwa tha,jab unse yeh kaha jata tha k woh aik nakaam hain.



  • Goals
  1. The blessing of truth
  2. The importance of patience 
  3. Promises of success to those who believe in Allah
  4. A great loss to those people who did not believe in Allah and sunnah.
  • Maqsad
  1. Sachayi ki karam nawaazi
  2. Sabar ki ahmiyat
  3. Allah ka wada kamyabi ka un logon se jo Allah per eeman laaye
  4. Un logon ke liye naqaami ji logon ne Allah ki nafarmani ki or jhoot bola.


Now im moving ahead to Tafseer of each verse in English and Urdu.
                                                                                           
Wal Asr:
By the declining day, I swear by the time:
Al asr represents various meanings like;
Al Asr is the time when the sun sets, when a person's shadow is equal to the height of its body.Allah subhanu'watala is surely reminding his people that turn to Allah before you return into darkness.

Urdu Form: Al Asr ke bohat se matlab waazaye hote hain. wal asar. wal (w) yahni wow matalb hai 'qasam'. is ayat main yeh beyaan kiya gaya hai k waqt ki qasam hai. woh waqt jab asr ka waqt hota hai sooraj ghuroob hota hai tab insan ka saya bhi uska sath chor deta hai.Allah insaan ko keh raha hai k Allah ki taraf loat jao beshaq is main tumhare liye bhalayi hai.

Innal insaana lafi khusar:
Verily a man is in loss. This ayat clearly indicates when the pegan meccans was against Muhammad (p.b.u.h) the stepped into loss. "Khusar" is the opposite of gain. It does not mean that people are only going to suffer in the world but in the hereafter.Because they rejected the truth of islam.people who didnot believe in the truth of islam, people who were against our sahaba's, people who did not had faith in Allah.
There are some muslims. who act as muslims but did not had faith in Allah and in such a way A man is surely in loss.

Urdu Form: Beshaq Admi zaroor nuqsaan main. woh aadmi jo Allah per eeman na laya. Is ayat ka mekki daur main ana ka matalb un tamam logon ke liye tha jin logon ne nabi kareem (p.b.u.h) ke sath zulm kiye. jin logon ne islam qubool na kiya tha woh logg phir yakeenan nuqsaan main thay. 'Khusar' aik arbi lafz hai jiska mayni hai nuqsaan. woh nuqsaan jo sirf dunya hi nahi balke akhirat main paya jayega. woh logg woh nuqsaan uthayeinge jo hamesha hamesha k liye uthana hoga. Tamam aisay musalman bhi hain. jo sabar ka daman chor dete hain. hote toh musalman hain per Allah per yakeen nahi rakhte or qismat se larte hain,shiqwa kerte hain. aise logg bhi nuqsaan main hote hain.

ILla allazina aa Aminusaali'haati, wa'tawaa sau'bil haq, watawa saubis sabar.

Those who believe and do good work and extort one another to truth, except who had faith in Allah, except who cooperate on patience and counseled one another to be steadfast.
In this ayat it says : Observing the orders of Allah, leaving the prohibited and repenting and telling other Muslims to be steadfast, never to lose hope, having a strong faith in Allah and never leaving the rope of patience. instead of telling your worries to people around you and instead of mourning, crying one should have patience and make loads of dua and some day the man will get the reward for being patience. This is what the actual meaning of ayat is.

Urdu Form: jin logon ne Achay kaam, logon ko sachayi ki tarf laye, logon ko quran ki haqeeqat batayi, sachay dil se tauba ki. Allah ka huqum mana, beshaq un logon ke liye dunya or akhirat mein qamyabi hai. kabhi bhi sabar ki rassi chorni nahi chahiye. sabar ki rassi chornay se emaan kamzor hojata hai.'watawa saubis sabar' iska matlab yeh hai logon ko sabar ki talqeen kero. baaz log sabar nahi kerte. rote hain, logon ko apni pareshaniyan batate hain or Allah per tawakkal nahi rakhte jis wajah se na woh dunya main kuch haasil ker pate hain or na hi akhirat main.

Conclusion: This surah has taught me so much. i am everyday, everytime reciting this surah. This surah is for all those who have lost their hope. who are being fed-up with the tough life and for those people who are busy in collecting the worldly material, verily! these people are in loss , loss and loss, because they have forgotten their Rabb who is actually giving them their Rizq.

Urdu Form:
Is surah se maine bohot kuch seekha hai. is liye her pal her waqt main parhti hi rehti hun. yeh surah un tamam logon ke liye hai jo apna sabar ka daman chor ker bethay hain. jo dunya ke ajeeb rang dhang  se tang aa chuke hain, aur in tamam logon ke liye jo apne rabb ko bhool bethay hain.jo unko rizq deta hai.beshaq na sabar kerne walon ke liye or gunahgaron ke liye sakht azaaab hai, Beshaq tumhare Rab ki pakar sakht hai.                                                                                                             

I hope whoever is reading this learn something from this blog.
just have faith in Allah and smile for the sake of Allah subhanuwata'ala. :)

Remember me in your precious Dua's
JazakAllah khayr ....!!
