[62:9]
O ye who believe! When the call is heard for the
prayer of the day of congregation, haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave
your trading. That is better for you if ye did but know.
[62:10]
And when the prayer is
ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah’s bounty, and remember Allah
much, that ye may be successful.
[62:11]
But when they spy some merchandise or pastime
they break away to it and leave thee standing. Say: That which Allah hath is
better than pastime and than merchandise, and Allah is
the Best of providers.
The
Hypocrites
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful.
[63:1]
When the hypocrites come unto thee (O Muhammad),
they say: We bear witness that thou art indeed Allah’s messenger. And Allah
knoweth that thou art indeed His messenger, and Allah beareth witness that the
hypocrites indeed are speaking falsely.
[63:2]
They make their faith a pretext so that they may
turn (men) from the way of Allah. Verily evil is that
which they are wont to do,
[63:3]
That is because they believed, then disbelieved,
therefore their hearts are sealed so that they understand not.
[63:4]
And when thou seest them their figures please
thee; and if they speak thou givest ear unto their speech. (They are) as though
they were blocks of wood in striped cloaks. They deem every shout to be against
them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah confound
them! How they are perverted!
