							The 
							Friday Prayer | Madina. 2 Sections. 11 Verses. |  |  |  Allah in the 
			name of the Most Affectionate, the Merciful. 
			SECTION: 1
 1. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth glorifies
 Allah the Sovereign, the Most Holy, the Esteemed One, the Wise.
 
 2. It is He Who sent among the unlettered people a Messenger from 
			among
 themselves, who recites to them His signs and purifies them and 
			bestows
 them the knowledge of the Book and wisdom, although they had been
 necessarily in manifest error before that.
 
 3. And purifies and teaches others among them who have not met to 
			those
 farmers. And He is the Esteemed One, the Wise.
 
 4. This is the grace of Allah; He bestows it to whomsoever He 
			pleases.
 And Allah is the Owner of immense grace.
 
 5. The example of those who were put up with Tourat, then they did 
			not
 follow its mandate is like an ass carrying books on back. What an 
			evil
 example is of those who belied the signs of Allah. And Allah Guides 
			not
 the people unjust.
 
 6. Say you, 'O Jews! If you imagine; that you are the friends of 
			Allah
 to the exclusion of others, then long for death, if you are 
			truthful'?
 
 7. But they will never long for it, because of the deeds which their
 hands have already sent forward. And Allah knows the unjust people.
 
 8. Say you, 'the death from which you flee, is certainly going to 
			meet
 you, then will you be returned to Him Who knows everything hidden 
			and
 open and He will inform you as to what you had done.
 
 SECTION 2
 
 9. O believers! When the call is made for the prayer on Friday, 
			hasten
 towards the remembrance of Allah and leave business. This is better 
			for
 you if you know.
 
 10. Then, when the prayer is finished, disperse in the land, seek 
			grace
 of Allah, and remember Allah much; haply you may prosper.
 
 11. And when they saw any trade or sports they dispersed towards it 
			and
 left you standing while addressing. Say, you that which is with 
			Allah
 is better then sport and trade. And the provision of Allah is best.
