Lecture: Tafsīr Sūrat al-ʿAṣr – Ustādh Abu Rayhaanah Yahya

Tafsīr Sūrat al-ʿAṣr, a lecture by Ustādh Abu Rayhaanah Yahya (hafidhahullāh)

• Allāh swears by time: the importance of time and using it wisely

• "Two blessings in which many people are cheated: health and free time"; the hours lost to phones and social media

• The four qualities that save a person from loss: īmān, righteous action, advising one another with the truth and with patience

• Knowledge comes before speech and action; knowledge as the first condition of the shahādah

• Taking knowledge from its people: "This knowledge is the religion, so look to whom you take your religion from"

• Imām ash-Shāfiʿī: had the people reflected on this sūrah alone, it would have sufficed them
