يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Allah—
ٱلۡمَلِكِ ٱلۡقُدُّوسِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ ١
the King, the Most Holy, the Almighty, the All-Wise.
هُوَ ٱلَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي ٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ
He is the One Who raised for the illiterate ˹people˺ a messenger from among themselves—
يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ
reciting to them His revelations,
وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ
purifying them,
وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ
and teaching them the Book and wisdom,
وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ٢
for indeed they had previously been clearly astray—
وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنۡهُمۡ لَمَّا يَلۡحَقُواْ بِهِمۡۚ
along with others of them who have not yet joined them ˹in faith˺.
وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٣
For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.
ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ
This is the favour of Allah.
يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ
He grants it to whoever He wills.
وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ ٤
And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.
مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَحۡمِلُوهَا
The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so,
كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡحِمَارِ يَحۡمِلُ أَسۡفَارَۢاۚ
is that of a donkey carrying books.
بِئۡسَ مَثَلُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ
How evil is the example of those who reject Allah’s signs!
وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٥
For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓاْ
Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O Jews!
إِن زَعَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ
If you claim to be Allah’s chosen ˹people˺ out of all humanity,
فَتَمَنَّوُاْ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ ٦
then wish for death, if what you say is true.”
وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوۡنَهُۥٓ أَبَدَۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡۚ
But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have done.
وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٧
And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers.
قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَفِرُّونَ مِنۡهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَٰقِيكُمۡۖ
Say, “The death you are running away from will inevitably come to you.
ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ
Then you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen,
فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ٨
and He will inform you of what you used to do.”
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ
O believers!
إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ
When the call to prayer is made on Friday,
فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ
then proceed ˹diligently˺ to the remembrance of Allah
وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ
and leave off ˹your˺ business.
ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ٩
That is best for you, if only you knew.
فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ
Once the prayer is over,
فَٱنتَشِرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
disperse throughout the land
وَٱبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ
and seek the bounty of Allah.
وَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا
And remember Allah often
لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ ١٠
so you may be successful.
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ تِجَٰرَةً أَوۡ لَهۡوًا
When they saw the fanfare along with the caravan,
ٱنفَضُّوٓاْ إِلَيۡهَا
they ˹almost all˺ flocked to it,
وَتَرَكُوكَ قَآئِمٗاۚ
leaving you ˹O Prophet˺ standing ˹on the pulpit˺.
قُلۡ مَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٞ مِّنَ ٱللَّهۡوِ وَمِنَ ٱلتِّجَٰرَةِۚ
Say, “What is with Allah is far better than amusement and merchandise.
وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ ١١
And Allah is the Best Provider.”
