Translation of Surah Al-Jumu’ah

Whatever is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, the King, the Exalted, the Mighty, and the Wise.
It is He who sent among the unlettered a Messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book and wisdom. Indeed, before that they were in clear error.
And for others who have not yet met them, and He is the All-Wise.
This is the bounty of Allah, He bestows it upon whom He wills, and Allah is the Giver of great bounty.
The example of those who were given the Torah and then did not carry it is like that of a donkey carrying books. An evil example for those who deny the verses of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
Say, “O you who are Jews! If you think that you are the friends of Allah to the exclusion of others, then wish for death if you are truthful.”
And they will never wish for it because of what their hands have sent forth. And Allah knows the wrongdoers best.
Say, “Indeed, the death from which you flee will surely come upon you. Then you will be returned to Him who knows all that is hidden and all that is open. Then He will inform you of what you used to do.”
- you who believe! When the call to prayer is given on the day of Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trade. It would be better for you, if only you knew.
So when the prayer is finished, travel through the land and seek of the bounty of Allah and remember Allah much that you may succeed.
And when they see a trade or a spectacle, they rush upon it and leave you standing, saying, “What is with Allah is better than spectacle and trade, and Allah is the Best Provider.”
