English - Chapter 62 - Al-Jumuah

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies God—the King, the Most Holy, the Almighty, the All-Wise

He is the One Who raised for the illiterate ˹people˺ a messenger from among themselves—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom, for indeed they had previously been clearly astray—

along with others of them who have not yet joined them ˹in faith˺. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise

This is the favour of God. He grants it to whoever He wills. And God is the Lord of infinite bounty

The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so, is that of a donkey carrying books. How evil is the example of those who reject God’s signs! For God does not guide the wrongdoing people

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O Jews! If you claim to be God’s chosen ˹people˺ out of all humanity, then wish for death, if what you say is true.”

But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have done. And God has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers

Say, “The death you are running away from will inevitably come to you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”

O believers! When the call to prayer is made on Friday, then proceed ˹diligently˺ to the remembrance of God and leave off ˹your˺ business. That is best for you, if only you knew

Once the prayer is over, disperse throughout the land and seek the bounty of God. And remember God often so you may be successful

When they saw the fanfare along with the caravan, they ˹almost all˺ flocked to it, leaving you ˹O Prophet˺ standing ˹on the pulpit˺. Say, “What is with God is far better than amusement and merchandise. And God is the Best Provider.”
