English - Chapter 62 - Al-Jumuah

Whatever is in Heaven and whatever is on Earth celebrates God the Sovereign [Who is] the Holy, the Powerful, the Wise

He is the One Who has dispatched a messenger from the Unlettered [people] among themselves, to recite His verses to them and purify them and teach them the Book and wisdom, even though previously they were in obvious error

Such is God´s bounty which He gives to anyone He wishes. God possesses splendid bounty

Those who are laden with the Old Testament, yet do not carry it out may be compared to a donkey who is carrying scriptures. It is such a dreadful way to have to compare people who reject God´s signs! God does not guide such wrongdoing folk

SAY: "You who are Jews, if you claim to be God´s adherents ahead of [other] people, then long for death if you are so truthful

They will never long for it because of what their hands have already done. God is Aware as to who are wrongdoers

SAY: "If it is death that you flee, it will still overtake you. Then you will be sent back to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible; He will notify you about whatever you have been doing

You who believe, when [the call to] prayer is announced on the day of Congregation. hasten to remember God and close your [place of] business. That will be better for you if you only realized it

Once prayer has been performed, then disperse throughout the land and seek God´s bounty. Remember God frequently so that you may prosper

Yet whenever they see some business or some sport they flock towards it and leave you standing there [alone]. SAY: "Whatever God has is better than any sport or business. God is the Best Provider
