بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies God, the Controller, the Holy One, the Almighty, the Wise.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

It is He who raised a mes-senger, among the people who had no Scripture, to recite His revelations to them, to make them grow spiritually and teach them the Scripture and wisdom––before that they were clearly astray––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:3

to them and others yet to join them. He is the Almighty, the Wise:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:4

such is God’s favour that He grants it to whoever He will; God’s favour is immense.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:5

Those who have been charged to obey the Torah, but do not do so, are like asses carrying books: how base such people are who disobey God’s revelations! God does not guide people who do wrong.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:6

Say [Prophet], ‘You who follow the Jewish faith, if you truly claim that out of all people you alone are friends of God, then you should be hoping for death.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:7

But because of what they have stored up for themselves with their own hands they would never hope for death––God knows the wrongdoers very well––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:8

so say, ‘The death you run away from will come to meet you and you will be returned to the One who knows the unseen as well as the seen: He will tell you everything you have done.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:9

Believers! When the call to prayer is made on the day of congregation, hurry towards the reminder of God and leave off your trading––that is better for you, if only you knew––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:10

then when the prayer has ended, disperse in the land and seek out God’s bounty. Remember God often so that you may prosper.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

62:11

Yet they scatter towards trade or entertainment whenever they observe it, and leave you [Prophet] standing there. Say, ‘God’s gift is better than any entertainment or trade: God is the best provider.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:1

When the hypocrites come to you [Prophet], they say, ‘We bear witness that you are the Messenger of God.’ God knows that you truly are His Messenger and He bears witness that the hypocrites are liars––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:2

they use their oaths as a cover and so bar others from God’s way: what they have been doing is truly evil––

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:3

because they professed faith and then rejected it, so their hearts have been sealed and they do not understand.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:4

When you see them [Prophet], their outward appearance pleases you; when they speak, you listen to what they say. But they are like propped-up tim-bers––they think every cry they hear is against them––and they are the enemy. Beware of them. May God confound them! How devious they are!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:5

They turn their heads away in disdain when they are told, ‘Come, so that the Messenger of God may ask forgiveness for you,’ and you see them walking away arrogantly.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:6

It makes no difference whether you ask forgiveness for them or not, God will not forgive them: God does not guide such treacherous people.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:7

They are the ones who say, ‘Give nothing to those who follow God’s Messenger, until they abandon him’, but to God belong the treasures of the heavens and earth, though the hypocrites do not understand this.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:8

They say, ‘Once we return to Medina the powerful will drive out the weak,’ but power belongs to God, to His Messenger, and to the believers, though the hypocrites do not know this.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

63:9

Believers, do not let your wealth and your children distract you from remembering God: those who do so will be the ones who lose.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
