62. "The Congregation"
Koran.062
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth declares
the glory of Allah, the King, the Holy, the Mighty, the Wise.
He it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca an Apostle
from among themselves, who recites to them His communications and
purifies them, and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom, although they
were before certainly in clear error,
And others from among them who have not yet joined them; and
He is the Mighty, the Wise.
That is Allah's grace; He grants it to whom He pleases, and Allah
is the Lord of mighty grace.
The likeness of those who were charged with the Taurat, then
they did not observe it, is as the likeness of the ass bearing books, evil is the
likeness of the people who reject the communications of Allah; and Allah
does not guide the unjust people.
Say: O you who are Jews, if you think that you are the favorites
of Allah to the exclusion of other people, then invoke death If you are
truthful.
And they will never invoke it because of what their hands have
sent before; and Allah is Cognizant of the unjust.
Say: (As for) the death from which you flee, that will surely
overtake you, then you shall be sent back to the Knower of the unseen and
the seen, and He will inform you of that which you did.
O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday,
then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is better
for you, if you know.
But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land
and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be
successful.
And when they see merchandise or sport they break up for It,
and leave you standing. Say: What is with Allah is better than sport and
(better) than merchandise, and Allah is the best of Sustainers.
