سُورَةُ الجُمُعَةِ
يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡمَلِكِ ٱلۡقُدُّوسِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ
ٱلۡحَكِيمِ (١) هُوَ ٱلَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي ٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ رَسُولࣰا مِّنۡهُمۡ يَتۡلُواْ
عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ
مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلࣲ مُّبِينࣲ (٢) وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنۡهُمۡ لَمَّا يَلۡحَقُواْ بِهِمۡۚ
وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ (٣) ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ
ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ (٤) مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ
يَحۡمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡحِمَارِ يَحۡمِلُ أَسۡفَارَۢاۚ بِئۡسَ مَثَلُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ
ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ (٥)
قُلۡ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓاْ إِن زَعَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن
دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُاْ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ (٦) وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوۡنَهُۥٓ
أَبَدَۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ (٧) قُلۡ إِنَّ
ٱلۡمَوۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَفِرُّونَ مِنۡهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَٰقِيكُمۡۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ
إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ (٨)
Juzʼ 28553Ḥizb 56
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ
فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرࣱ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ
تَعۡلَمُونَ (٩) فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ فَٱنتَشِرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
وَٱبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرࣰا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ
(١٠) وَإِذَا رَأَوۡاْ تِجَٰرَةً أَوۡ لَهۡوًا ٱنفَضُّوٓاْ إِلَيۡهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَآئِمࣰاۚ قُلۡ
مَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرࣱ مِّنَ ٱللَّهۡوِ وَمِنَ ٱلتِّجَٰرَةِۚ وَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ (١١)

What Sūrat al-Jumuʿah is about

Sūrat al-Jumuʿah has 11 āyāt in the twenty-eighth juzʼ. It opens with everything glorifying Allah, the King, the Holy (62:1). Allah sent among the unlettered a messenger from among them, who recites His āyāt to them, purifies them and teaches them the Book and wisdom (62:2).

It warns that those given the Tawrāh who did not carry it out are like a donkey carrying books (62:5). It is named after Friday: when the call to prayer is made on Friday, hurry to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade, then spread through the land and seek His bounty (62:9–10). What is with Allah is better than amusement or trade (62:11).

  1. Āyāt 1–8

    A messenger among the unlettered

    Allah sent among the unlettered a messenger from among them, to recite His āyāt, purify them and teach them the Book and wisdom, and others who have not yet joined them (62:2–3). Those who carried the Tawrāh and did not uphold it are like a donkey carrying books (62:5). The death people flee from will meet them (62:8).

  2. Āyāt 9–11

    The Friday prayer

    When the call to prayer is made on Friday, hurry to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade (62:9). When the prayer is over, spread through the land and seek Allah’s bounty, remembering Him much (62:10). Some left the Prophet standing when they saw trade or amusement, but what is with Allah is better (62:11).
