English - Chapter 62 - Al-Jumuah

Whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth, glorifies God, the King, the Holy, the Mighty, the Wise

He it is Who raised among the unlettered, a messenger from among them, he recites to them His signs and purifies them and teaches them the book (the law) and the wisdom, (interpretation of the law) and earlier they were in clear error

and (will do so to) others (too) from among those who have not yet joined them. And He is the Mighty, the Wise

That is the grace of God, He gives it to whom He wills, and God is the Possessor of great grace

The likeness of those who were (entrusted) with the burden (of implementing) the Torah then they did not bear this burden, is like the likeness of a donkey which bears the burden of books. Evil is the likeness of the people who deny the signs of God. And God does not guide the unjust people

Say, “O you who are Jews ! if you claim that you are the friends of God to the exclusion of other human beings, then desire for death, if you are truthful.”

But they will never desire for it because of that which their hands have sent in advance, and God is the Knower of those who are unjust

O you who believe ! when you are called for the congregational worship (salat) on Friday, hasten towards the remembrance of God and leave off trading (all business), that is better for you, if you (could only) know

Then when you complete the worship (salat), disperse in the earth and seek from God’s grace, and remember God much that you may be successful

And when they see any commerce or pastime, they disperse towards it and leave you standing. Say, “That which is with God is better than pastime and commerce and God is the Best of providers.”
