Surah Al-Asr: Faith, Action, Truth and Patience

وَٱلْعَصْرِ ۝ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَانَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ ۝ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ

Four foundations

Surah Al-Asr describes humanity as being in loss, then identifies four connected qualities of those who are excepted: faith, righteous action, encouraging one another toward truth, and encouraging one another toward patience.
