Al-Jumu'a
The Donkey Carrying Books
In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. Whatever is in the heavens and on the earth glorifies God, the Sovereign, the Most Holy, the All-Powerful, the Wise.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يسبح لله ما في السموت وما في الارض الملك القدوس العزيز الحكيمIt is He who raised among the people without Scripture a messenger from among themselves, reciting to them His signs, purifying them, and teaching them the Scripture and wisdom, although they were before in manifest error — and others among them who have not yet joined them.
هو الذي بعث في الامين رسولا منهم يتلوا عليهم ايته ويزكيهم ويعلمهم الكتب والحكمه وان كانوا من قبل لفي ضلل مبين واخرين منهم لما يلحقوا بهمAnd He is the All-Powerful, the Wise.
وهو العزيز الحكيمThat is the favor of God, which He grants to whom He wills.
ذلك فضل الله يوتيه من يشاAnd God holds the immense favor.
والله ذو الفضل العظيمThe example of those who were entrusted with the Tawrah, and then did not carry it, is like the example of a donkey carrying books.
مثل الذين حملوا التوريه ثم لم يحملوها كمثل الحمار يحمل اسفاراHow evil is the example of a people who deny the signs of God!
بيس مثل القوم الذين كذبوا بايت اللهAnd God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
والله لا يهدي القوم الظلمينSay: O you, the Reoriented! if you claim that you are the allies of God, excluding other people, then wish for death, if you are truthful.
قل يايها الذين هادوا ان زعمتم انكم اوليا لله من دون الناس فتمنوا الموت ان كنتم صدقينBut they will never wish for it, because of what their hands have prepared.
ولا يتمنونه ابدا بما قدمت ايديهمAnd God is All-Knowing of the wrongdoers.
والله عليم بالظلمينSay: Indeed, the death from which you flee will surely meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of what escapes the senses and of what is manifest, and He will inform you of what you used to do.
قل ان الموت الذي تفرون منه فانه ملقيكم ثم تردون الي علم الغيب والشهده فينبيكم بما كنتم تعملونO you who have believed! When the call is made for the Contact, on this day of gathering, hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off selling.
يايها الذين امنوا اذا نودي للصلوه من يوم الجمعه فاسعوا الي ذكر الله وذروا البيعThat is better for you, if you but knew.
ذلكم خير لكم ان كنتم تعلمونThen when the Contact is concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the favor of God, and remember God often, that you may succeed.
فاذا قضيت الصلوه فانتشروا في الارض وابتغوا من فضل الله واذكروا الله كثيرا لعلكم تفلحونBut when they saw a trade or a distraction, they dispersed toward it and left you standing.
واذا راوا تجره او لهوا انفضوا اليها وتركوك قايماSay: What is with God is better than distraction and than trade.
قل ما عند الله خير من اللهو ومن التجرهAnd God is the best of providers.
والله خير الرزقين
