In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
1. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth
declares the glory of Allah, the King, the Holy, the Mighty,
the Wise.
2. 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,
3. And others from among them who have not yet joined them;
and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
4. That is Allah's grace; He grants it to whom He pleases,
and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. And they will never invoke it because of what their hands
have sent before; and Allah is Cognizant of the unjust.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.
