62. Surah Al-Jumu'ah Gathering day

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ

Bismi Allahi arrahmani arraheem

In the name of Allah, All-Merciful, Most Merciful

يُسَبِّـحُ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِي السَّمٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ الْعَز۪يزِ الْحَك۪يمِ

Yusabbihu lillahi ma feeassamawati wama fee al-ardialmaliki alquddoosi alAAazeezi alhakeem

Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth glorifies Allah, the King, the All-Pure, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

هُوَ الَّذ۪ي بَعَثَ فِي الْاُمِّيّ۪نَ رَسُولاً مِنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا عَلَيْهِمْ اٰيَاتِه۪ وَيُزَكّ۪يهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَۗ وَاِنْ كَانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَف۪ي ضَلَالٍ مُب۪ينٍۙ

Huwa allathee baAAatha feeal-ommiyyeena rasoolan minhum yatloo AAalayhim ayatihiwayuzakkeehim wayuAAallimuhumu alkitaba walhikmatawa-in kanoo min qablu lafee dalalin mubeen

It is He who raised up among the unlettered people a Messenger from them to recite His Signs to them and purify them and teach them the Book and Wisdom, even though before that they were clearly misguided.

وَاٰخَر۪ينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْۜ وَهُوَ الْعَز۪يزُ الْحَك۪يمُ

Waakhareena minhum lamma yalhaqoobihim wahuwa alAAazeezu alhakeem

And others of them who have not yet joined them. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.

ذٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ يُؤْت۪يهِ مَنْ يَشَٓاءُۜ وَاللّٰهُ ذُوالْفَضْلِ الْعَظ۪يمِ

Thalika fadlu Allahiyu/teehi man yashao wallahu thooalfadli alAAatheem

That is Allah’s favour which He gives to whoever He wills. Allah’s favour is indeed immense.

مَثَلُ الَّذ۪ينَ حُمِّلُوا التَّوْرٰيةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ الْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ اَسْفَاراًۜ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِاٰيَاتِ اللّٰهِۜ وَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِم۪ينَ

Mathalu allatheena hummiloo attawratathumma lam yahmilooha kamathali alhimariyahmilu asfaran bi/sa mathalu alqawmi allatheenakaththaboo bi-ayati Allahi wallahula yahdee alqawma aththalimeen

The metaphor of those who were charged with the Torah but then have not upheld it, is that of a donkey loaded with weighty tomes. How evil is the metaphor of those who deny Allah’s Signs! Allah does not guide wrongdoing people.

قُلْ يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ هَادُٓوا اِنْ زَعَمْتُمْ اَنَّكُمْ اَوْلِيَٓاءُ لِلّٰهِ مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِق۪ينَ

Qul ya ayyuha allatheenahadoo in zaAAamtum annakum awliyao lillahimin dooni annasi fatamannawoo almawta in kuntum sadiqeen

Say: ‘You Jews, if you claim to be the friends of Allah to the exclusion of all other people, then wish for death if you are telling the truth. ’

وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُٓ اَبَداً بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْد۪يهِمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ عَل۪يمٌ بِالظَّالِم۪ينَ

Wala yatamannawnahu abadan bimaqaddamat aydeehim wallahu AAaleemun biththalimeen

But they will never ever wish for it because of what they have done. Allah knows the wrongdoers.

قُلْ اِنَّ الْمَوْتَ الَّذ۪ي تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَاِنَّهُ مُلَاق۪يكُمْ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ اِلٰى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ۟

Qul inna almawta allathee tafirroonaminhu fa-innahu mulaqeekum thumma turaddoona ila AAalimialghaybi washshahadati fayunabbi-okum bimakuntum taAAmaloon

Say: ‘Death, from which you are fleeing, will certainly catch up with you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible and He will inform you about what you did.’

يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُٓوا اِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلٰوةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا اِلٰى ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَۜ ذٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooitha noodiya lissalati min yawmialjumuAAati fasAAaw ila thikri Allahiwatharoo albayAAa thalikum khayrun lakum in kuntumtaAAlamoon

You who have iman! when you are called to salat on the Day of Jumu‘a, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and abandon trade. That is better for you if you only knew.

فَاِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلٰوةُ فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الْاَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَث۪يراً لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Fa-itha qudiyati assalatufantashiroo fee al-ardi wabtaghoo min fadliAllahi wathkuroo Allaha katheeranlaAAallakum tuflihoon

Then when the salat is finished spread through the earth and seek Allah’s bounty and remember Allah much so that hopefully you will be successful.

وَاِذَا رَاَوْا تِجَارَةً اَوْ لَهْواًۨ انْفَضُّٓوا اِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَٓائِماًۜ قُلْ مَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ التِّجَارَةِۜ وَاللّٰهُ خَيْرُ الرَّازِق۪ينَ

Wa-itha raaw tijaratan awlahwan infaddoo ilayha watarakooka qa-imanqul ma AAinda Allahi khayrun mina allahwi wamina attijaratiwallahu khayru arraziqeen

But when they see a chance of trade or entertainment they scatter off to it and leave you standing there. Say: ‘What is with Allah is better than trade or entertainment. Allah is the Best of Providers.’
