Divine Warning!! Indeed, the man is in loss (The reality of human beings)

Surah 103 Al Asr "The Time" is a short surah  of just three verses, yet it carries very meaningful insight into the importance of time and a stern warning for the man for "Indeed Man is in Loss." We have already written three posts on the explanation of this seurah. But today, in our series of posts on Scholars' Viewpoint, we present a extremely lecture by Nouman Ali Khan, one of the eminent Muslim scholars of present times, who concentrates on the subject of why man is in loss and why.

The verse under discussion is: إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ‌ Indeed man is in loss (103:2) That is there has been no worthwhile and trustworthy path, except the path of Allah. But man has always been pursing paths that  lead only to loss and ruin. He has always been provided opportunities to listen to the Divine Calls, yet he listened to calls that are lucrative and inticing.  And thus has been in loss.

Let us watch the video below and see how Nouman Ali Khan explains what this meanigful verse actually mean and how  and why man is in loss:
Nouman Ali Khan, born to a Pakistani family, is an American Muslim speaker and Arabic instructor who founded the Bayyinah Institute for Arabic and Qur’anic Studies, after serving as an instructor of Arabic at Nassau Community College. He has been named one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world by the Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre of Jordan.

وَمَا عَلَيۡنَاۤ اِلَّا الۡبَلٰغُ الۡمُبِيۡنُ‏ 
(36:17) and our duty is no more than to clearly convey the Message.”
That is our duty to convey only to you the message that Allah has entrusted us with. Then it is for you to accept it or reject it. We have not been made responsible for making you accept it forcibly, and if you do not accept it, we shall not be seized in consequence of your disbelief, you will yourselves be answerable for your actions on Day of Resurrection.

May Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى‎) help us understand Qur'ān and help us to act upon the commandments of Allah contained therein. May Allah help us to be like the ones He loves and let our lives be lived helping others and not making others' lives miserable or unlivable. May all our wrong doings, whether intentional or unintentional, be forgiven before the angel of death knocks on our door. 

May Allah forgive me if my posts ever imply a piety far greater than I possess. I am most in need of guidance.
