English - Chapter 62 - Al-Jumuah

He it is Who sent among the unlettered a Messenger from among themselves, reciting unto them His signs, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and Wisdom, though before they were in manifest error

and others among them, who have not yet joined them. And He is the Mighty, the Wise

That is the Bounty of God, which He gives to whomsoever He will. And God is Possessed of Tremendous Bounty

The parable of those [who were] made to bear the Torah, then did not bear it, is that of an ass bearing books. How evil is the likeness of the people who denied God’s signs! And God guides not wrongdoing people

Say, “O you who are Jews! If you claim that you are friends unto God apart from [other] people, then long for death, if you are truthful.”

But they will never long for it due to that which their hands have sent forth. And God knows the wrongdoers

Say, “Truly the death from which you flee will surely meet you; then you shall be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of that which you used to do.”

“O you who believe! When you are called to the congregational prayer, hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off trade. That is better for you, if you but knew

And when the prayer is completed, disperse throughout the land and seek the Bounty of God, and remember God much, that haply you may prosper.”

And when they see some commerce or diversion, they scatter toward it and leave thee standing. Say, “That which is with God is better than diversion and commerce; and God is the best of providers.”
