بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ
Surely Man is in the way of loss,

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ
save those who believe, and do righteous deeds, and counsel each other unto the truth, and counsel each other to be steadfast.
