Surah Al-Jumu'ah (الجمعة)
The Congregation, Friday · Medinan · 11 ayahs · Juz 28
- 62:1
يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْمَلِكِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْحَكِيمِ
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth glorify Allaah (even though man may not perceive this), the Sovereign, the Most Holy (Pure from all faults and weaknesses), the Mighty, the Wise.
- 62:2
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ لَفِى ضَلَـٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
It is He Who sent among the unlettered (illiterate) nation (the Arabs) a Rasool ﷺ from themselves (an Arab himself) who recites His Aayaat (of the Qur'aan) to them, (spiritually) purifies them and teaches them the Book (the Qur'aan) and wisdom (the Sunnah). Without doubt, they (most of the Arabs) were in clear deviation (error) before this (before the preaching of Rasulullaah ﷺ).
- 62:3
وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا۟ بِهِمْ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
And (Allaah had also sent Rasulullaah ﷺ as a Prophet to) other people (who will soon be) from them (Muslims like the Sahabah,) whom they (the Sahabah رضي الله تعالى عنهم) have not yet met. He is the Mighty, the Wise (guides and uses for the propagation of His Deen whoever He wills, be they Arabs or non-Arabs).
- 62:4
ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلْفَضْلِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
This (sending of Rasulullaah ﷺ to guide mankind) is Allaah's grace which He grants to whoever He pleases (wills). Allaah is the Possessor of immense grace.
- 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
The example (likeness) of those (Jews) who were charged with bearing (ordered to practise the teachings of) the Torah and then failed to bear it (to practise its teachings), is like that of a donkey carrying books. (Despite being able to carry a wealth of knowledge on its back the donkey does not benefit from the knowledge.) Appalling (evil) is the example of the people who reject Allaah's Aayaat. Allaah does not guide unjust (sinful) people. (The guidance Allaah sends is of no use to people who stubbornly reject the truth.)
- 62:6
قُلْ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓا۟ إِن زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا۟ ٱلْمَوْتَ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
(In reply to the claim of the Jews that only they are worthy of entering Jannah because they are Allaah's friends, Allaah says,) Say, “O Jews! If you think (assert) that you are Allaah's friends and others are not, then wish (long) for death (so that you can reach Jannah quickly) if you are truthful (in your claim)."
- 62:7
وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُۥٓ أَبَدًۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(However,) They shall never wish for death because of the (fear they have for the punishment due to them on account of the evil) actions that their hands have sent forth. Allaah has (complete) knowledge about the (actions and words of) unjust (sinful) people (and will punish them for it).
