Özet: This article aims to discuss the meaning and importance of “Surah Al-‘Asr” in terms of spiritual counseling, examining its spiritual significance for individuals. It is a theoretical study prepared by drawing on relevant academic sources. Allah begins the Surah by swearing by time, indicating that in an absolute sense, humans are at a loss or unhappy when they cannot manage their time properly. The Surah focuses on four important aspects that provide spiritual support to individuals for a high-quality, peaceful, and happy life. The first aspect is “having faith in God”, followed by “(performing) righteous deeds”, which encompasses the practical dimension of faith. The Surah also emphasizes the importance of “advising truth” and “patience” as behaviors that reinforce and sustain faith and righteous deeds. These aspects also hold separate significance in terms of the relationship individuals establish with life. Faith is not only about believing in Allah but also entails various psycho-spiritual support for individuals who believe in a higher and powerful being. One of the primary benefits is the realization of the existence of a creator who is closer to the individual than their jugular vein (Quran 50:10), leading to the awareness that they are not alone in this life. Moreover, believing in Allah's constant assistance provides individuals with a sense of security. Thus, faith can be seen as a fundamental element of spiritual support in human life. “(Performing) righteous deeds”, the second aspect mentioned in the Surah, is the outward expression of faith and strengthens the individual's connection with Allah, contributing positively to their personality and character development. The third aspect, “advising truth”, not only assists individuals in performing the right and necessary actions in the face of life's events but also contributes to the formation of a healthy society. The final aspect mentioned in the Surah, “advising patience/perseverance”, is a spiritual value that can effectively support the realization of the previous aspects in an individual's life and help overcome difficulties. Additionally, advising patience can be considered an important spiritual support for acquiring positive behaviors.
