Translations of Surah 103, Al-Asr Ayah 2
Yusuf Ali Verily Man is in loss 6263
Malik Surely mankind is in loss,
Asad Verily, man is bound to lose himself
Pickthall Lo! man is in a state of loss,
Transliteration 'inna al- 'insaan la- fe khusr
Yusuf Ali 6263 If life be considered under the metaphor of a business bargain, man, by merely attending to his material gains, will lose. When he makes up his day's account in the afternoon, it will show a loss. It will only show profit if he has Faith, leads a good life, and contributes to social welfare by directing and encouraging other people on the Path of Truth and Constancy.
