Surah “The Congregation, Friday, The Day of Congregation”

as rendered by A. S. Mohamed — 11 verses

Glorifying God is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth: the King, the Holy, the Dignified, the Wise.
He is the One who has sent to the ummiyeen a messenger from among them who recites to them His revelations, purifies them and teaches them the Book and wisdom, whereas they were previously in clear misguidance,
and others among them who have not yet joined them. He is the Dignified, the Wise.
Such is God's favour; He bestows it upon whom He wills, and God is the Possessor of Great Favour.
The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah but then did not uphold it is that of a donkey carrying weighty tomes. Miserable indeed is the example of the people who denied God's revelations. God does not guide the transgressing people.
Say, "O you who are Jewish, if you claim that you are allies of God, to the exclusion of all other people, then long for death if you are truthful."
They will never long for it because of what their hands have put forth and God is Knowledgeable of the transgressors.
Say, "The death from which you are fleeing will surely catch up with you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you used to do."
O you who believe, when the call for the Salat is announced on the day of Friday, hasten to the remembrance of God and leave all selling. That is better for you if you only knew.
Then, when the Salat is concluded, spread out through the land and seek God's favour, and remember God frequently so that you may succeed.
If they glimpse some business opportunity or some amusement, they break away towards it and leave you standing! Say, "What is with God is better than any amusement and any business. God is the best of providers.
