SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself
Your thoughts are like seeds that you plant in the garden of your minds. They can grow into beautiful flowers or become thorny weeds depending on how you react to them. When you react impulsively to every thought that crosses your mind, you often find yourselves entangled in a web of emotions and actions that may not serve your highest good. The illusion of control is that many of you believe by reacting to your thoughts, you can control your lives and shape your destinies.
Surah Al Asr is about those whose state of mind is gradually closing and loosing out the light of guidance because the light of guidance is being squeezed by the darkness created by barriers that block the light. The barriers that blocked the light of guidance are from your impulsive reactions to your thoughts and the illusory control that it is sufficient you received guidance from your independent logical mind.
The food for your soul is the truth and without the truth you will have destitude mind (mind that is poor or lacking sensible thoughts), cruel mind (that inflict or cause pain), mind that lead to arguments, mind that magnify the facts, mind that do overthinking that suffocate the brain and destructive mind (that do harm). It is forbidden to allow your state of mind to be degraded from state of light receiving guidance to state of darkness without receiving guidance. This is a great loss except to those who do reform, dissolve the barriers that block the light and bring back the light of guidance. They are the successful ones, those who take security in ayaati of Allah and do solehat / reform, and support one another with the truth, and support one another with patience (that is, not impulsively react to your thoughts).
With the name Allah (the All-Encompassing Source whose name encompasses the measurements of existence and the unfolding chain of events leading to all observable outcomes), the Rahmaan, the Raheem. (The Rahmaan is the boundless system of factual knowledge and the Raheem is the grace bestowed upon those who sincerely seek and engage with this wisdom through the guidance of Ar Rahmaan).
103.1 By the asr / squeeze (where darkness created by the barriers, is squeezing out the light leading to more darkness to a state of not receiving guidance from Allah).
103.2 Certainly, the insaan / intellect aligned with the truth, is indeed in khusrin / loss.
103.3 Except those who aamanu / take security (in ayaati of Allah), and do solehat / reform, and support one another with the truth, and support one another with perseverance.
