Translation — Tafsir

Key Words and Their Meanings:

"Nūdiya" (نُودِيَ): The call (Adhan) is made.
"Fas'aw" (فَاسْعَوْا): Proceed with intention, earnestness, and haste — not necessarily running, but moving purposefully.
"Dhikr Allah" (ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ): The remembrance of Allah, specifically referring here to the Friday sermon (Khutbah) and the congregational prayer.
"Dharū al-Bay'" (ذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ): Abandon and leave off all trade and transactions (buying and selling).

Explanation of the Verse:

O you who have truly believed in Allah and His Messenger and who strive to live by His guidance! When the call to prayer is proclaimed on the day of Jumu'ah (Friday) — after the Imam has ascended the pulpit — then hasten with sincere intention and due seriousness to the remembrance of Allah, which is the sermon and the obligatory congregational prayer. And immediately cease all worldly transactions, whether buying or selling, and everything else that might distract you from this great act of worship. This command — to leave your trade and rush to the prayer — is far better for you than any worldly profit, for it brings the forgiveness of your sins, immense reward from your Lord, and success in this life and the Hereafter. If you truly knew the wisdom and blessings behind this command, you would never hesitate to obey it.

A Call to Reflection and Action:

Dear believer, reflect on the immense mercy of your Creator in this verse. He does not ask you to abandon your livelihood entirely — rather, He simply pauses your worldly engagements for a brief, blessed moment each week to reconnect with Him. This is a divine invitation to purify your heart, renew your faith, and strengthen your bond with your fellow Muslims in the congregational prayer. The temporary loss of a few sales or transactions is nothing compared to the eternal gain you secure: the pleasure of Allah, the light of guidance in your heart, and the peace that descends upon those who answer His call. When you hear the Adhan on Friday, let your heart leap with joy — for it is an opportunity to reset your spiritual compass and draw closer to the One who has given you everything. Respond to His call with love and eagerness, and you will find that He never lets your obedience go unrewarded, both in this world and in the everlasting Hereafter.

📜 Verse 7-11 — Al-Jumu'ah

7وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُ أَبَدًا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ

But they will not wish for it, ever, because of what their hands have put forth. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

8قُلْ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ الَّذِي تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مُلَاقِيكُمْ ۖ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَىٰ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

Say, "Indeed, the death from which you flee - indeed, it will meet you. Then you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, and He will inform you about what you used to do."

9يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

10فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَانتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

And when the prayer has been concluded, disperse within the land and seek from the bounty of Allah, and remember Allah often that you may succeed.

11وَإِذَا رَأَوْا تِجَارَةً أَوْ لَهْوًا انفَضُّوا إِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوكَ قَائِمًا ۚ قُلْ مَا عِندَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ التِّجَارَةِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ

But when they saw a transaction or a diversion, [O Muhammad], they rushed to it and left you standing. Say, "What is with Allah is better than diversion and than a transaction, and Allah is the best of providers."
