The Epoch

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

1. By (the Token of) Time (through the ages),
2. Verily Man is in loss,
3. Except such as have Faith, and do righteous deeds, and (join together) in the mutual teaching of Truth, and of Patience and Constancy. (Surah Al-'Asr)

This is one of the shortest Surah of Qu'ran. However, it encompasses the whole message of Islam & guides Muslims to attain Paradise.

There are four things mentioned is this Surah that we have to do in order to be successful in the Hereafter.

1. Belief is Islam.
   
2. Actions - Do righteous deeds & abstain from sins.
   
3. Dawah - Inviting to Islam, helping each other good deeds & forbidding evils
   
4. Enjoin on each other patience during trials & tribulations.

In essence, if we are to follow all the above four we will attain eternal bliss.

What is holding us back from living as Muslims? None of us know when the Death will strike on our door. Lets start living by Islam.
