Sacred, Powerful, Awe inspiring / Magnificent.
Don't anyone of you curse time,because Allah is time [Muslim5827]

So Allah by Swearing by al ‘Asr implies;
1 - Allah is telling the human to reflect on the passage of Time.
2 - Man is always in loss (ayah 2), based on the proof from ayah 1 that time is always moving forward – and we humans can never get back the time we have lost. I.e. You had so much opportunities in life which you could do good in – to get closer to Allah. You regret you didn’t do them. However, we can change these regrets into future intentions and strive to do good when opportunities come in the future.So the Oath and it’s Response (ayah 2) are a proof for each other; Man being in loss, and him admitting that he wasted his time.
3 - ‘Asr refers to the life/durations (zamaan) of nations. The rise and fall of nations is a proof of humans’ being in loss.
4 – The object of the Oath is a witness for the subject. I.e. Allah calls a witness for the subject. Allah is bringing time as a witness to the fact that many humans are in loss.
5 - Human beings’ chase after the world which distract them from the real purpose in life. (see tafseer surah at-Takathur). People throughout history have chased after wealth, beautiful things, power etc. People chased after all these things, thinking they will achieve success, and while they were in that state – they died. This same process has been repeating generation after generation, for thousands of years, and there is one creation of Allah which has continuously been witnessing all this. It is al ‘Asr – the Time. Time is a witness to the tragedy of the human being. Diffusion of Responsibility: If you talk generally to people – they assume someone else is to blame.Each and every individual forgetful human being – you are in loss [in potential trouble]…
When the human hears this ayah – he thinks about himself. He forgets everybody else, he fears for his own safety.On Judgment Day – every human cares only for himself, except for Allah’s Messenger.Those same people you might love and do haraam (forbidden) things for – they will be running away from you on that Judgment Day.When a person will want to sacrifice and throw everyone in the hellfire as a ransom – so that he does not fall into it; We are in a state of Emergency. The day is ending – we need to gain as much good (deeds) profit, before our ice melts. The companions of Allah’s Messenger would never leave each other, except that they would recite these aayaat of Surah ‘Asr to each other to remind each other not to waste time.
