In وَالْعَصْرِ, the definite article is followed by ʿayn: pronounce the article’s lām explicitly. It is lām qamariyyah, not an assimilated solar lām.
The ṣād with sukūn is an emphatic consonant; retain its elevated tongue quality and keep ʿayn separate. Practice «ʿaṣ» slowly.
At the end of the verse, distinguish continuing from pausing: the written kasrah on rāʾ does not remain as a full vowel when stopping.
