> SURA LXII (62)  - The Assembly       (Medina - 11 Verses)         (XCIV - 373)
>  
>        In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
>  
>        All that is in the Heavens, and all that is on the Earth, uttered the
> Praise of God, the King! the Holy! the Mighty! the Wise!
>  
>        It is He who hath sent to the pagan folk (Arabs) an Apostle from among
> themselves, to rehearse His signs to them, and to purify them, and to impart to
> them a knowledge of "the Book" and wisdom; for aforetime were they in manifest
> error.
>  
>        And others among them have not yet overtaken those who preceded them in
> the faith.  But He is the Mighty, the Wise!
>  
>        This is the goodness of God: He bestoweth it on whom He will: God is of
> immense goodness!
>  
>        They on whom the burden of the law was laid, and would not bear it, are
> like an ass beneath a load of books.  A sorry likeness this, for the people
> who give the lie to the signs of God!  God guideth not the people who do this
> wrong!
>  
>        Say:  O ye Jews, if ye profess that ye rather than other men are the
> friends of God, then wish for death if ye are men of truth.
>  
>        But never on account of their previous handywork will they wish for it,
> and God knoweth the wrong doers.
>  
>        Say:  Verily the death from which ye flee will surely meet you.  Then
> shall ye be brought back to Him who knoweth alike the things done in secret and
> openly: and He will tell you of your actions.
>  
>        O ye who believe!  When ye are summoned to prayer on the day of the
> Assembly, haste to the commemoration of God, and quit your traffic.  This, if
> ye knew it, will be best for you.
>  
> 62:10  And when the Prayer is ended, then disperse yourselves abroad and go in
> quest of the bounties of God; and, that it may be well with you, oft remember
> God.
>  
>        But when they get a sight of merchandise or sport, they disperse after
> it, and leave thee standing alone.  Say:  God hath in reserve what is better
> than sport or wares.  And God is the best provider!
