Surah Al-Jumu'ah

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

1. 62:1 ▶

   يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ ﴿١﴾

   yusabbiḥu lillāhi mā fi s-samāwāti wamā fi l-arḍi l-maliki l-quddūsi l-ʿazīzi l-ḥakīm

   Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allāh, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

   See footnote to 57:1.

2. 62:2 ▶

   هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ ﴿٢﴾

   huwa lladhī baʿatha fi l-ummiyyīna rasūlam minhum yatlū ʿalayhim 'āyātihī wayuzakkīhim wayuʿallimuhumu l-kitāba wal-ḥikmata wa'in kānū min qablu lafī ḍalālim mubīn

   It is He who has sent among the unlettered [Arabs] a Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom [i.e., the sunnah] - although they were before in clear error -

3. 62:3 ▶

   وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِمْ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿٣﴾

   wa'ākharīna minhum lammā yalḥaqū bihim | wahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-ḥakīm

   And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

4. 62:4 ▶

   ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ﴿٤﴾

   dhālika faḍlu llāhi yu'tīhi may yashā' | wallāhu dhu l-faḍli l-ʿaẓīm

   That is the bounty of Allāh, which He gives to whom He wills, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

5. 62:5 ▶

   مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًۢا ۚ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٥﴾

   mathalu lladhīna ḥummilu t-tawrāta thumma lam yaḥmilūhā kamathali l-ḥimāri yaḥmilu 'asfārā | bi'sa mathalu l-qawmi lladhīna kadhdhabū bi'āyāti llāh | wallāhu lā yahdi l-qawma ẓ-ẓālimīn

   The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allāh. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

   i.e., neglected their responsibility towards it by not putting its teachings into practice.

   But does not benefit from their contents.

6. 62:6 ▶

   قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓا۟ إِن زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ﴿٦﴾

   qul yā'ayyuha lladhīna hādū 'in zaʿamtum 'annakum 'awliyā'u lillāhi min dūni n-nāsi fatamannawu l-mawta 'in kuntum ṣādiqīn

   Say, "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allāh, excluding the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."

7. 62:7 ▶

   وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُۥٓ أَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿٧﴾

   walā yatamannawnahū 'abadam bimā qaddamat 'aydīhim | wallāhu ʿalīmum biẓ-ẓālimīn

   But they will not wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

8. 62:8 ▶

   قُلْ إِنَّ ٱلْمَوْتَ ٱلَّذِى تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَـٰقِيكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَـٰلِمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ وَٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ ﴿٨﴾

   qul 'inna l-mawta lladhī tafirrūna minhu fa'innahū mulāqīkum | thumma turaddūna 'ilā ʿālimi l-ghaybi wash-shahādati fayunabbi'ukum bimā kuntum taʿmalūn

   Say, "Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do."

9. 62:9 ▶

   يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِذَا نُودِىَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوْمِ ٱلْجُمُعَةِ فَٱسْعَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُوا۟ ٱلْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٩﴾

   yā'ayyuha lladhīna 'āmanū 'idhā nūdiya liṣ-ṣalāti miy yawmi l-jumuʿati fasʿaw 'ilā dhikri llāhi wadharu l-bayʿ | dhālikum khayrul lakum 'in kuntum taʿlamūn

   O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

10. 62:10 ▶

    فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ فَٱنتَشِرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱبْتَغُوا۟ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿١٠﴾

    fa'idhā quḍiyati ṣ-ṣalātu fantashirū fi l-arḍi wabtaghū min faḍli llāhi wadhkuru llāha kathīral laʿallakum tufliḥūn

    And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allāh, and remember Allāh often that you may succeed.

11. 62:11 ▶

    وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ تِجَـٰرَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا ٱنفَضُّوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَآئِمًا ۚ قُلْ مَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِّنَ ٱللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ ٱلتِّجَـٰرَةِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ﴿١١﴾

    wa'idhā ra'aw tijāratan 'aw lahwani nfaḍḍū 'ilayhā watarakūka qā'imā | qul mā ʿinda llāhi khayrum mina llahwi wamina t-tijārah | wallāhu khayru r-rāziqīn

    But [on one occasion] when they saw a transaction or a diversion, [O Muḥammad], they rushed to it and left you standing. Say, "What is with Allāh is better than diversion and than a transaction, and Allāh is the best of providers."
