Al-'Asr is one of the shortest surahs: three lines. It calls time to witness, says every human being is running at a loss, and then names four things that turn the loss around. Two of them cannot be done alone. Imam al-Shafi'i is reported to have said that if people thought this surah through, it would be enough for them.
