5 The likeness of those who were charged with the Torah, then they observed it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Evil is the likeness of the people who reject the messages of Allāh. And Allāh guides not the iniquitous people. |
6 Say: O you who are Jews, if you think that you are the favourites of Allāh to the exclusion of other people, then invoke death, if you are truthful. |
7 But they will never invoke it because of what their hands have sent before. And Allāh is Knower of the wrongdoers. |
8 Say: The death from which you flee, that will surely overtake you; then you will be sent back to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, so He will inform you of that which you did. |
9 O you who believe, when the call is sounded for prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allāh and leave off traffic. That is better for you, if you know. |
10 But when the prayer is ended, disperse abroad in the land and seek of Allāh’s grace, and remember Allāh much, that you may be successful. |
11 And when they see merchandise or sport, they break away to it, and leave thee standing. Say: What is with Allāh is better than sport and merchandise. And Allāh is the best of Providers. |
1 When the hypocrites come to thee, they say: We bear witness that thou art indeed Allāh’s Messenger. And Allāh knows thou art indeed His Messenger. And Allāh bears witness that the hypocrites are surely liars. |
2 They take shelter under their oaths, thus turning (men) from Allāh’s way. Surely evil is that which they do. |
3 That is because they believed, then disbelieved; thus their hearts are sealed, so they understand not. |
