Al-'Asr is three verses that Ash-Shafi'i said would have sufficed people had nothing else been revealed. It states a universal loss and then names the only four things that get anyone out of it.
At this pace the whole surah takes 1 study days.
Study days are days you actually sit down to memorise — miss one and the plan simply moves with you.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ وَٱلْعَصْرِ…إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ
By time — man is in loss, stated without exception before the exception comes.
Study days 1-1
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
Except those who believed, did righteous deeds, counselled one another to truth and counselled one another to patience.
Study days 1-1
Two of the four are things you cannot do alone — counselling one another to truth and to patience — which is why this surah is about company as much as about belief.
