Surat Al Ashri in my Own Interpretation.
First, literal translations.

Demi Masa.By The Age
Sesungguhnya manusia itu benar-benar berada dalam kerugianMankind are surely in loss
Kecuali orang-orang yang beriman dan mengerjakan amal saleh, nasehat menasehati dalam kebenaran dan dalam kesabaranExcept those who believe and do righteous deeds, and exhort each other to truth, and exhort each other to patience


I used to think that this Surah,
is one of the basic guidance for human interactions with their society and to Allah.

One of the beauty of Qur'an, that I still surprise about till now, is that It always give us new and better understanding everytime we try to 'read' it (comprehensively - is the word correct?).

At first I read Surah Al Ashr as a guidance for us to do good deed at each other if we want to have goodness and luck in our life. And I believe it, wholeheartedly.

Last night, a friend, gave a new meaning for me,
Surah Al Ashr has also tells us that, nobody, yes nobody, is perfect.

I gave quite a thought about it.
