62:1

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is exalting Allāh, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Yusabbihu lilaahi maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardil Malikil Quddoosil ‘Azeezil Hakeem

يسبح لله ما فى ٱلسمـوت وما فى ٱلأرض ٱلملك ٱلقدوس ٱلعزيز ٱلحكيم

62:2

It is He who has sent among the unlettered [Arabs] a Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses and purifying them and teaching them the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] and wisdom [i.e., the sunnah] - although they were before in clear error -

Huwal lazee ba’asa fil ummiyyeena Rasoolam min hum yatloo ‘alaihim aayaatihee wa yuzakkeehim wa yu’allimuhumul Kitaaba wal Hikmata wa in kaanoo min qablu lafee dalaalim mubeen

هو ٱلذى بعث فى ٱلأميـن رسولا منهم يتلوا عليهم ءايـتهۦ ويزكيهم ويعلمهم ٱلكتـب وٱلحكمة وإن كانوا من قبل لفى ضلـل مبين

62:3

And [to] others of them who have not yet joined them. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

Wa aakhareena minhum lammaa yalhaqoo bihim wa huwal ‘azeezul hakeem

وءاخرين منهم لما يلحقوا بهم وهو ٱلعزيز ٱلحكيم

62:4

That is the bounty of Allāh, which He gives to whom He wills, and Allāh is the possessor of great bounty.

Zaalika fadlul laahi yu’teehi many-yashaaa; wallaahu zul fadlil ‘azeem

ذلك فضل ٱلله يؤتيه من يشاء وٱلله ذو ٱلفضل ٱلعظيم

62:5

The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allāh. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Masalul lazeena hum milut tawraata summa lam yahmiloohaa kamasalil himaari yah milu asfaaraa; bi’sa masalul qawmil lazeena kaazzaboo bi aayaatil laah; wallaahu laa yahdil qawmazzaalimeen

مثل ٱلذين حملوا ٱلتورىة ثم لم يحملوها كمثل ٱلحمار يحمل أسفارا بئس مثل ٱلقوم ٱلذين كذبوا بـايـت ٱلله وٱلله لا يهدى ٱلقوم ٱلظـلمين

62:6

Say, "O you who are Jews, if you claim that you are allies of Allāh, excluding the [other] people, then wish for death, if you should be truthful."

Qul yaaa ayyuhal lazeena haadoo in za’amtum annakum awliyaaa’u lilaahi min doonin naasi fatamannawul mawta in kuntum saadiqeen

قل يـأيها ٱلذين هادوا إن زعمتم أنكم أولياء لله من دون ٱلناس فتمنوا ٱلموت إن كنتم صـدقين

62:7

But they will not wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allāh is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

Wa laa yatamannaw nahooo abadam bimaa qaddamat aydeehim; wallaahu ‘aleemum biz zaalimeen

ولا يتمنونهۥ أبدا بما قدمت أيديهم وٱلله عليم بٱلظـلمين

62:8

Say, "Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do."

Qul innal mawtal lazee tafirroona minhu fa innahoo mulaaqeekum summa turaddoona ilaa ‘Aalimil Ghaibi wash shahaadati fa yunabbi’ukum bimaa kuntum ta’maloon

قل إن ٱلموت ٱلذى تفرون منه فإنهۥ ملـقيكم ثم تردون إلى عـلم ٱلغيب وٱلشهـدة فينبئكم بما كنتم تعملون

62:9

O you who have believed, when [the adhān] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumuʿah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allāh and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo izaa noodiya lis-Salaati miny yawmil Jumu’ati fas’aw ilaa zikril laahi wa zarul bai’; zaalikum khayrul lakum in kuntum ta’lamoon

يـأيها ٱلذين ءامنوا إذا نودى للصلوة من يوم ٱلجمعة فٱسعوا إلى ذكر ٱلله وذروا ٱلبيع ذلكم خير لكم إن كنتم تعلمون

62:10

And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allāh, and remember Allāh often that you may succeed.

Fa-izaa qudiyatis Salaatu fantashiroo fil ardi wabtaghoo min fadlil laahi wazkurul laaha kaseeral la’allakum tuflihoon

فإذا قضيت ٱلصلوة فٱنتشروا فى ٱلأرض وٱبتغوا من فضل ٱلله وٱذكروا ٱلله كثيرا لعلكم تفلحون

62:11

But [on one occasion] when they saw a transaction or a diversion, [O Muḥammad], they rushed to it and left you standing. Say, "What is with Allāh is better than diversion and than a transaction, and Allāh is the best of providers."

Wa izaa ra’aw tijaaratan aw lahwanin faddooo ilaihaa wa tarakooka qaaa’imaa; qul maa ‘indal laahi khairum minal lahwi wa minat tijaarah; wallaahu khayrur raaziqeen

وإذا رأوا تجـرة أو لهوا ٱنفضوا إليها وتركوك قائما قل ما عند ٱلله خير من ٱللهو ومن ٱلتجـرة وٱلله خير ٱلرزقين
