Verse 62:1

یُسَبِّحُ لِلّٰهِ مَا فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِی الْاَرْضِ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوْسِ الْعَزِیْزِ الْحَكِیْمِ ۟

Yusabbiḥu lillaahi maa- fis samaawaati wa-maa fil ʹarḍil Malikil Q̣uddoosil ʻAzeezil Ḥakeem.

Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Allah—the King, the Most Holy, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

Verse 62:2

هُوَ الَّذِیْ بَعَثَ فِی الْاُمِّیّٖنَ رَسُوْلًا مِّنْهُمْ یَتْلُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ اٰیٰتِهٖ وَیُزَكِّیْهِمْ وَیُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ ۗ وَاِنْ كَانُوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ لَفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟ۙ

Huwal laẓee baʻas̤a fil ʹUmmiyyeena Rasoolam min-hum yatloo ʻalayhim ʹAayaatihee wa-yuzakkeehim wa-yuʻallimuhumul Kitaaba wal-Ḥikmah,― wa-ʹiñ kaanoo miñ q̣ablu lafee ḍalaalim mubeen;―

He is the One Who raised for the illiterate ˹people˺ a messenger from among themselves—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom, for indeed they had previously been clearly astray—

Verse 62:3

وَّاٰخَرِیْنَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا یَلْحَقُوْا بِهِمْ ؕ وَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الْحَكِیْمُ ۟

Wa-ʹaakhareena minhum lammaa yalḥaq̣oo bihim: wa-Huwal ʻAzeezul Ḥakeem.

along with others of them who have not yet joined them ˹in faith˺. For He is the Almighty, All-Wise.

Verse 62:4

ذٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللّٰهِ یُؤْتِیْهِ مَنْ یَّشَآءُ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیْمِ ۟

Ẓaalika Faḍlul laahi yuʹteehi mañy yashaaaʹ: wallaahu Ẓul Faḍlil ʻaz̤̣eem.

This is the favour of Allah. He grants it to whoever He wills. And Allah is the Lord of infinite bounty.

Verse 62:5

مَثَلُ الَّذِیْنَ حُمِّلُوا التَّوْرٰىةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ یَحْمِلُوْهَا كَمَثَلِ الْحِمَارِ یَحْمِلُ اَسْفَارًا ؕ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ لَا یَهْدِی الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Mas̤alul laẓeena ḥum-milut Tawraata s̤umma lam yaḥmiloohaa kamas̤alil ḥimaari yaḥ-milu ʹasfaaraa. Biʹsa mas̤alul q̣awmil laẓeena kaẓẓaboo biʹAayaatil laah. Wallaahu laa- yahdil q̣awmaz̤̣ z̤̣aalimeen.

The example of those who were entrusted with ˹observing˺ the Torah but failed to do so, is that of a donkey carrying books. How evil is the example of those who reject Allah’s signs! For Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Verse 62:6

قُلْ یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ هَادُوْۤا اِنْ زَعَمْتُمْ اَنَّكُمْ اَوْلِیَآءُ لِلّٰهِ مِنْ دُوْنِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِیْنَ ۟

Q̣ul yaaaʹayyuhal laẓeena haadooo ʹiñ zaʻamtum ʹannakum ʹawliyaaaʹu lillaahi miñ doonin naasi fatamannawul Mawta ʹiñ kuñtum ṣaadiq̣een!

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O Jews! If you claim to be Allah’s chosen ˹people˺ out of all humanity, then wish for death, if what you say is true.”

Verse 62:7

وَلَا یَتَمَنَّوْنَهٗۤ اَبَدًا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَیْدِیْهِمْ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟

Wa-laa yatamannawnahooo ʹabadam bimaa q̣addamat ʹaydeehim! Wallaahu ʻAleemum biz̤̣z̤̣aalimeen!

But they will never wish for that because of what their hands have done. And Allah has ˹perfect˺ knowledge of the wrongdoers.

Verse 62:8

قُلْ اِنَّ الْمَوْتَ الَّذِیْ تَفِرُّوْنَ مِنْهُ فَاِنَّهٗ مُلٰقِیْكُمْ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّوْنَ اِلٰی عٰلِمِ الْغَیْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَیُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُوْنَ ۟۠

Q̣ul ʹinnal Mawtal laẓee tafirroona minhu faʹinnahoo mulaaq̣eekum summa turaddoona ʹilaa ʻAalimil g̣aybi washshahaadati fayunabbiʹukum̃ bimaa kuntum taʻmaloon!

Say, “The death you are running away from will inevitably come to you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the seen and unseen, and He will inform you of what you used to do.”

Verse 62:9

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْۤا اِذَا نُوْدِیَ لِلصَّلٰوةِ مِنْ یَّوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا اِلٰی ذِكْرِ اللّٰهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَیْعَ ؕ ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَّكُمْ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Yaaaʹayyuhal lazeena ʹaamanooo ʹiẓaa noodiya liṣ-Ṣalaati miñy Yawmil JUMUʻATI fasʻaw ʹilaa Ẓikril laahi wa-ẓarul bayʻ: ẓaalikum khayrul lakum ʹiñ kuñtum taʻlamoon!

O believers! When the call to prayer is made on Friday, then proceed ˹diligently˺ to the remembrance of Allah and leave off ˹your˺ business. That is best for you, if only you knew.

Verse 62:10

فَاِذَا قُضِیَتِ الصَّلٰوةُ فَانْتَشِرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِیْرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ ۟

Faʹiẓaa q̣uḍiyatiṣ Ṣalaatu fañtashiroo fil ʹarḍi wabtag̣oo miñ Faḍlil laahi waẓkurul laaha kas̤eeral laʻallakum tufliḥoon.

Once the prayer is over, disperse throughout the land and seek the bounty of Allah. And remember Allah often so you may be successful.

Verse 62:11

وَاِذَا رَاَوْا تِجَارَةً اَوْ لَهْوَا نْفَضُّوْۤا اِلَیْهَا وَتَرَكُوْكَ قَآىِٕمًا ؕ قُلْ مَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَیْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ التِّجَارَةِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ خَیْرُ الرّٰزِقِیْنَ ۟۠

Wa-ʹiẓaa raʹaw tijaaratan ʹaw lahwaniñ faḍḍooo ʹilayhaa wa-tarakooka q̣aaaʹimaa: Q̣ul maa- ʻiñdal laahi khayrum minal lahwi wa-minat tijaarah! wallaahu Khayrur Raaziq̣een.

When they saw the fanfare along with the caravan, they ˹almost all˺ flocked to it, leaving you ˹O Prophet˺ standing ˹on the pulpit˺. Say, “What is with Allah is far better than amusement and merchandise. And Allah is the Best Provider.”
