SURAH
AL-JUMU'A
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth
glorifies Allah the Sovereign, the Most Holy, the Esteemed One,
the Wise.
2. It is He Who sent among the unlettered people a Messenger
from among themselves, who recites to them His signs and purifies
them and bestows them the knowledge of the Book and wisdom,
although they had been necessarily in manifest error before
that.
3. And purifies and teaches others among them who have not
met to those farmers. And He is the Esteemed One, the Wise.
4. This is the grace of Allah; He bestows it to whomsoever
He pleases. And Allah is the Owner of immense grace.
5. The example of those who were put up with Tourat, then
they did not follow its mandate is like an ass carrying books
on back. What an evil example is of those who belied the signs
of Allah. And Allah Guides not the people unjust.
6. Say you, 'O Jews! If you imagine; that you are the friends
of Allah to the exclusion of others, then long for death, if
you are truthful'?
7. But they will never long for it, because of the deeds
which their hands have already sent forward. And Allah knows
the unjust people.
8. Say you, 'the death from which you flee, is certainly
going to meet you, then will you be returned to Him Who knows
everything hidden and open and He will inform you as to what
you had done.
9. 'O believers! When the call is made for the prayer on
Friday, hasten towards the remembrance of Allah and leave business.
This is better for you if you know.
10. Then, when the prayer is finished, disperse in the land,
seek grace of Allah, and remember Allah much; haply you may
prosper.
11. And when they saw any trade or sports they dispersed
towards it and left you standing while addressing. Say, you
that which is with Allah is better then sport and trade. And
the provision of Allah is best.
