Human beings are always running behind success and salvation but what is real and eternal success and salvation? Dr. Israr answers this question under the guidance of Surah Asar.
I swear by the Time, Man is in a state of loss indeed. Except those who believed and did righteous deeds, and exhorted each other to follow truth, and exhorted each other to observe patience. (Surah Asar)
Dr. Israr explains that in this Surah Allah has given the general statement that all are in loss except those who fulfill certain characteristics.
He explains that this is an exception so if anyone who fulfills these things he is successful while every other is doomed to be in loss.
The things which works as an exception from being in loss are:
- Believing in Allah
- Doing righteous deeds
- Calling others to truth
- Patience
