In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Kind.

1. Everything in the heavens and on earth praises Allah — the King, the Pure, the Mighty, the Wise.

2. He is the One Who sent to the people who had no Scripture, a messenger from among themselves. He recites Allah's verses to them, purifies their hearts, and teaches them the Book and wisdom — though before this, they were clearly lost.

3. And He sent him to others as well, who haven't yet joined them. He is the Mighty, the Wise.

4. This is Allah's favor — He gives it to whoever He wills. Allah's favor is truly great.

5. Those who were given the Torah, but didn't follow it, are like a donkey carrying books. What a terrible example for people who deny Allah's verses! Allah doesn't guide those who do wrong.

6. Say, "You who follow Judaism, if you really believe you're Allah's special friends, different from other people, then wish for death — if you're telling the truth."

7. But they'll never wish for death, because of what their own hands have done. Allah knows exactly who does wrong.

8. Say, "The death you're running away from will definitely catch up to you. Then you'll be returned to the One Who knows everything hidden and everything open, and He'll tell you clearly what you've done."

9. Believers, when the call to prayer is made on Friday, hurry toward remembering Allah, and leave your trade aside. That's better for you — if only you knew.

10. Then, when the prayer is finished, spread out into the land, seek Allah's blessings, and remember Allah often, so you may succeed.

11. Yet when they see some trade or entertainment, they rush toward it, and they leave you standing. Say, "What Allah has is far better than any entertainment or trade. Allah is the best provider."
