In the name of God,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful
The Holy Qur'an
Translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
62. THE CONGREGATION
FRIDAY
62:1
Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare the Praises and
Glory of God,- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Exalted in Might, the
Wise.
62:2
It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered an apostle from among
themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to
instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom,- although they had been,
before, in manifest error;-
62:3
As well as (to confer all these benefits upon) others of them, who
have not already joined them: And He is exalted in Might, Wise.
62:4
Such is the Bounty of God, which He bestows on whom He will: and God
is the Lord of the highest bounty.
62:5
The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the)
Mosaic Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is
that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not).
Evil is the similitude of people wh o falsify the Signs of God: and
God guides not people who do wrong.
62:6
Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! If ye think that ye are friends
to God, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for
Death, if ye are truthful!"
62:7
But never will they express their desire (for Death), because of the
(deeds) their hands have sent on before them! and God knows well those
that do wrong!
62:8
Say: "The Death from which ye flee will truly overtake you: then
will ye be sent back to the Knower of things secret and open: and He
will tell you (the truth of) the things that ye did!"
62:9
O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the
Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of God, and
leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew!
62:10
And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the
land, and seek of the Bounty of God: and celebrate the Praises of God
often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.
62:11
But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse
headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say: "The (blessing)
from the Presence of God is better than any amusement or bargain! and
God is the Best to provide (for all needs)."
