1. Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allah, the King (of everything), the Holy, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

2. He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad) from among themselves, reciting to them His Verses, purifying them (from the filth of polytheism), and teaching them the Book and wisdom. And verily, they had been before in manifest error;

3. And He has sent him (Prophet Muhammad) also to others among them who have not yet joined them (but they will come). And He (Allah) is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

4. That is the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Mighty Grace.

5. The likeness of those who were entrusted with the Torah (to obey its laws), but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey who carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is the example of people who deny the proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations of Allah. And Allah guides not the people who are polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers.

6. Say (O Muhammad): "O you Jews! If you pretend that you are friends of Allah, to the exclusion of (all) other mankind, then long for death if you are truthful."

7. But they will never long for it (death), because of what (deeds) their hands have sent before them! And Allah knows well the disbelievers.

8. Say (to them): "Verily, the death from which you flee will surely meet you, then you will be sent back to (Allah), the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will tell you what you used to do."

9. O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the prayer on the day of Friday, come to the remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know!

10. Then when the Friday prayer is finished, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah (by working), and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.

11. But when they see some merchandise or some amusement they disperse headlong to it, and leave you (Muhammad) standing there. Say "That which Allah has is better than any amusement or merchandise! And Allah is the Best of providers."
