Al-Jumu'ah

Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, the King, the Holy, the Almighty, the Wise. He sent among an unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves, reciting His verses to them, purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom, though before that they were clearly astray, and also to others who have not yet joined them. That is Allah’s bounty, which He gives to whom He wills. Those who were given the Torah and did not carry it out are like a donkey carrying books. Say, “If you claim that you alone are Allah’s friends, then wish for death, if you are truthful.” They will never wish for it, because of what their own hands have sent ahead. Say, “The death you run from will meet you, and then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen.” O you who believe, when the call to prayer is made on Friday, hurry to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trade. When the prayer is over, spread out in the land, seek Allah’s bounty and remember Allah often, so that you may succeed. Yet when they saw some trade or entertainment, they rushed to it and left you standing. Say, “What is with Allah is better than entertainment and trade, and Allah is the best of providers.”
