Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And peace and blessings be upon the honour of the prophets and messengers. Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him and his family and companions. Many peace and blessings be upon him. Then after that, brothers and sisters, praise be to Allah, we come to the last part of this great surah. Allah took an oath by time and said, وَالْعَصْرُ إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاسَوا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاسَوا بِالصَّبْرِ Allah took an oath by time and said, Surely and definitely all of mankind is in a state of loss. Surely all of mankind is in a state of loss. As I mentioned before, the translation does not do justice to the original, because the original uses the word of emphasis twice. إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِلَّا الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ Surely all of mankind is definitely in a state of loss. Surely all of mankind is definitely in a state of loss. And this is the, on a side note, the beauty of the Arabic language, which indeed we as Muslims must make it further on ourselves to learn. So that not only can we truly understand the importance of what Allah is saying, but also enjoy the beauty of the Bani Al-Mu'minah, the Bani of the Quran. Then Allah said, truly after He said that all of mankind is definitely in loss, meaning that whatever mankind sees, whatever he must see and think of as beneficial, as profitable, as beneficial, as beneficial, as beneficial, as beneficial, as beneficial, as profitable, as profitable, as our wealth is actually false. That is not wealth. That is not something which is good. Actually it is something which is a source of loss, which is something which is a sign of sickness, illness, fatal, or sign of, you know, fatal faults. It's very important to understand this because this is not the opinion of an analyst or a, you know, commentator of some kind. This is the statement of the one who created everything, including all that we see as beneficial. All this also comes from Allah . Our wealth is from Allah . Our knowledge is from Allah . Our scientific development is from Allah . Everything is from Allah . But Allah is saying all of this are not signs of goodness. They are actually signs of the biggest problem. Which is that we are, these are signs of loss. They are signs of destruction, impending destruction. إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا Except for those, all of mankind is in loss except those who have iman, who have faith in Allah , who worship Allah alone, who recognize that لا ينفع ولا يذر إلا الله that nobody harms. And nobody can benefit except Allah. That everything comes from Allah . And then وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ And those who do good deeds. And what are good deeds? Good deeds are those which please Allah. They're not necessarily those which might seem to be good in our understanding. The condition for a good deed to be called a good deed is that it should please Allah . إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ And then in the last two episodes we covered this. And today we'll talk about the last piece which is إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاسَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاسَوْا بِالصَّوْا Those who invite towards the truth. Those who state the truth. وَتَوَاسَوْا بِالصَّوْا And those who invite each other to have patience, to have perseverance, to have persistence. I cannot possibly emphasize the importance of these two things. Because in Islam it's not only about yourself. It's not only about passively doing something good for yourself. But it's about promoting that good. It's about a sense of social consciousness and social responsibility. Where you not only are happy to enjoy what you have, but you want to spread this goodness around you. Believe me, this was the secret of the spread of Islam, which we forgot. Today, when we have wealth, Today,
