The Virtues of Surat Al-Asr

At-Tabarani mentioned that ‘Ubaidullah bin Hafs said, “When two men from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah  (sallahu alayhi wa salam) would meet, they wouldn’t part from one another until one of them recited Surat Al-Asr until its end; then they would give greetings of peace to one another after it.” It was also recorded by Al-Bayhaqi from Abu Huthaifah. Ash-Shafi’I said; “ If Allah had revealed only this Surah to His creatures it would have been enough for them.” He said that because in this Surah stages are mentioned, that if one completes all of those stages, he achieves his completion. The stages are as follows:

1.      To know the truth.

2.      To apply it in practice.

3.      To teach it to one who doesn’t know it or who is weak in his knowledge of it.

4.   To be patient regarding the preceding stages: patient when you are learning the truth, patient when you are applying the truth, and patient when you are teaching the truth.

To strengthen your knowledge you must have faith, and to strengthen your application you must perform good deeds. Then you should be patient in your knowledge, your actions and in your teaching.
