The summary/theme of the surah Jumah

It is a Madani sura located in the twenty-eighth juz' thereof. Bani Israel were given the message and had the book of Allah, but failed to follow the guidance of Allah because they became too involved in hedonism (seeking pleasure).

Lesson learned from surah Jumah

  1. Those people who were given knowledge of the scriptures but did not take it on board, are like the donkey that carries a load that it cannot benefit from.  
  2. Those who claim to be the only Friends of Allah's are challenged to desire death if they are truthful. A true measure of one’s proximity to Allah's!  
  3. Those who know they have done good have no qualms about death.  
  4. The death we try to run from will eventually catch up with us; so let’s rectify and better our actions.  
  5. It is sinful to engage in worldly activities whilst unprepared for Jumu‘ah, once the adh'n of Jumu‘ah is called.  
  6. The worship and obedience of Allah's is better than futility and business, though the latter has to be done when necessary.

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

 

يُسَبِّحُ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ٱلۡمَلِكِ ٱلۡقُدُّوسِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَكِيمِ

Transliteration:( Yusabbihu lilaahi maa fis samaawaati wa maa fil ardil Malikil Quddoosil 'Azeezil Hakeem )
1. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth glorifies [1] Allah, the Sovereign, the Most Holy, the Most Honourable [2], the Wise.

هُوَ ٱلَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي ٱلۡأُمِّيِّـۧنَ رَسُولٗا مِّنۡهُمۡ يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَيُزَكِّيهِمۡ وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةَ وَإِن كَانُواْ مِن قَبۡلُ لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ

Transliteration:( Huwal lazee ba'asa fil ummiyyeena Rasoolam min hum yatloo 'alaihim aayaatihee wa yuzakkeehim wa yu'allimuhumul Kitaaba wal Hikmata wa in kaanoo min qablu lafee dalaalim mubeen )
2. It is He Who raised [3] among the unlettered people a Messenger from among themselves, who recites [4] to them His Verses and purifies [5] them, and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom [6], although they were before that in clear error [7].

وَءَاخَرِينَ مِنۡهُمۡ لَمَّا يَلۡحَقُواْ بِهِمۡۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ

Transliteration:( Wa aakhareena minhum lammaa yalhaqoo bihim wa huwal 'azeezul hakeem )
3. And also purifies and teaches [8] the others from among them who had not yet joined them. And He is the Most Honourable, the Wise [9].

ذَٰلِكَ فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ يُؤۡتِيهِ مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَٱللَّهُ ذُو ٱلۡفَضۡلِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Transliteration:( Zaalika fadlul laahi yu'teehi many-yashaaa; wallaahu zul fadlil 'azeem )
4. That is Allah's Grace. He grants it to whom He Pleases. And Allah is Lord of immense Bounty[10].

مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُواْ ٱلتَّوۡرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمۡ يَحۡمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلۡحِمَارِ يَحۡمِلُ أَسۡفَارَۢاۚ بِئۡسَ مَثَلُ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Transliteration:( Masalul lazeena hum milut tawraata summa lam yahmiloohaa kamasalil himaari yah milu asfaaraa; bi'sa masalul qawmil lazeena kaazzaboo bi aayaatil laah; wallaahu laa yahdil qawmazzaalimeen )
5. They are like those who were given the Tauraat [11], but they did not observe [12] it. It is like an ass, which carries a load of books [13]. Evil is the likeness of the people who reject [14] the verses of Allah; and Allah does not guide the unjust people [15].

قُلۡ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوٓاْ إِن زَعَمۡتُمۡ أَنَّكُمۡ أَوۡلِيَآءُ لِلَّهِ مِن دُونِ ٱلنَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُاْ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَٰدِقِينَ

Transliteration:( Qul yaaa ayyuhal lazeena haadoo in za'amtum annakum awliyaaa'u lilaahi min doonin naasi fatamannawul mawta in kuntum saadiqeen )
6. Please declare O Jews, if you assert that you are the favorites of Allah to the exclusion [16] of the rest of mankind, then wish for death [17], if you are truthful [18].

وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوۡنَهُۥٓ أَبَدَۢا بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ أَيۡدِيهِمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Transliteration:( Wa laa yatamannaw nahooo abadam bimaa qaddamat aydeehim; wallaahu 'aleemum biz zaalimeen )
7. And they will never wish for it because of what their hands have sent [19] before, and Allah Knows [20] well the unjust people.

قُلۡ إِنَّ ٱلۡمَوۡتَ ٱلَّذِي تَفِرُّونَ مِنۡهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مُلَٰقِيكُمۡۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ

Transliteration:( Qul innal mawtal lazee tafirroona minhu fa innahoo mulaaqeekum summa turaddoona ilaa 'Aalimil Ghaibi wash shahaadati fa yunabbi'ukum bimaa kuntum ta'maloon )
8. Please declare: "The death from which you flee will surely overtake [21] you. Then you shall be sent back to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will inform you of what you did [22]."

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَوٰةِ مِن يَوۡمِ ٱلۡجُمُعَةِ فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡ إِن كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ

Transliteration:( Yaaa ayyuhal lazeena aamanoo izaa noodiya lis-Salaati miny yawmil Jumu'ati fas'aw ilaa zikril laahi wa zarul bai'; zaalikum khayrul lakum in kuntum ta'lamoon )
9. O you who believe! When the call [23] is made for Salaatul Jumu'ah [24], then hasten [25] to the remembrance of Allah, and leave [26] aside business. That is better for you if you know [27].

فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ فَٱنتَشِرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ

Transliteration:( Fa-izaa qudiyatis Salaatu fantashiroo fil ardi wabtaghoo min fadlil laahi wazkurul laaha kaseeral la'allakum tuflihoon )
10. Then when the Prayer (Salaah) is completed, disperse [28] in the land and seek the bounty of Allah [29], and remember Allah abundantly so that you may attain success [30].
