English - Chapter 62 - Al-Jumuah

Whatever is in the heavens and on earth declares the praises and glory of God, the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Exalted in Might, the Wise

It is He Who has sent among the unlettered, a messenger from among themselves, to rehearse to them His signs, to refine them, and to instruct them in scripture and wisdom, although they had been before in obvious error

As well as to them who have not already joined them, and He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise

O you who believe, when the call is made for prayer on Friday, hasten earnestly to the remembrance of God, and leave off business. That is best for you if you only knew

Then when the prayer is finished, disperse through the land, and seek of the bounty of God. And remember God much, that you may flourish

But when they see some deal or some entertainment, they disperse headlong into it, and leave you standing there. Say, “That which is from the presence of God is better than any entertainment or deal, and God is the best to provide.”
