[62:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
|
| 1. |
[62:1] Glorifying GOD is everything in the heavens and everything on earth;
the King, the Most Sacred, the Almighty, the Most Wise. |
| 2. |
[62:2] He is the One who sent to the gentiles a messenger from among them,
to recite to them His revelations, purify them, and teach them the scripture
and wisdom. Before this, they had gone far astray. |
| 3. |
[62:3] And to many generations subsequent to them. He is the Almighty, Most
Wise. |
| 4. |
[62:4] Such is GOD's grace that He bestows upon whomever He wills. GOD is
Possessor of Infinite Grace. |
| 5. |
[62:5] The example of those who were given the Torah, then failed to uphold
it, is like the donkey carrying great works of literature. Miserable indeed
is the example of people who rejected GOD's revelations. GOD does not guide
the wicked people. |
| 6. |
[62:6] Say, "O you who are Jewish, if you claim that you are GOD's chosen,
to the exclusion of all other people, then you should long for death if you
are truthful!" |
| 7. |
[62:7] They will never long for it, because of what they have committed.
GOD is fully aware of the wicked. |
| 8. |
[62:8] Say, "The death that you are trying to evade will catch up with you
sooner or later. Then you will be returned to the Knower of all secrets and
declarations, then He will inform you of everything you had done." |
| 9. |
[62:9] O you who believe, when the Congregational Prayer (Salat Al-Jumu`ah)
is announced on Friday, you shall hasten to the commemoration of GOD, and
drop all business. This is better for you, if you only knew. |
| 10. |
[62:10] Once the prayer is completed, you may spread through the land to
seek GOD's bounties, and continue to remember GOD frequently, that you may
succeed. |
| 11. |
[62:11] When some of them come across a business deal, or some entertainment,
they rush to it and leave you standing! Say, "What GOD possesses is far better
than the entertainment or the business. GOD is the best Provider." |
