> Surah 62
> 
> Al Jumu'ah (Friday)
> 
> In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
> 
> 1.  Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare the Praises and Glory of Allah--the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
> 
> 2.  It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered a messenger 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--
> 
> 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.
> 
> 4.  Such is the Bounty of Allah, which He bestows on whom He will: and Allah is the Lord of the highest bounty.
> 
> 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 who falsify the Signs of Allah: and Allah guides not people who do wrong.
> 
> 6.  Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! if ye think that ye are friends to Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for Death, if ye are truthful!"
> 
> 7.  But never will they express their desire (for Death), because of the (deeds) their hands have sent on before them!  And Allah knows well those that do wrong!
> 
> 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!"
> 
> 9.  O ye who believe! when the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): that is best for you if ye but knew!
> 
> 10.  And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.
> 
> 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 Allah is better than any amusement or bargain!  And Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)."
