Wise.

Y: It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered a messenger from among
themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to
instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom,- although they had been, before,
in manifest error;-
P: He it is Who hath sent among the unlettered ones a messenger of their
own, to recite unto them His revelations and to make them grow, and to
teach them the Scripture and wisdom, though heretofore they were indeed
in error manifest,
S: He it is Who raised among the inhabitants of Mecca a Messenger from

them, and teaches them the Book and the Wisdom, although they were

062.003
Y: As well as (to confer all these benefits upon) others of them, who
have not already joined them: And He is exalted in Might, Wise.

is of Infinite Bounty.

062.005
Y: The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of
the) Mosaic Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is
that of a donkey which carries huge tomes (but understands them not).
Evil is the similitude of people who falsify the Signs of Allah: and
Allah guides not people who do wrong.
P: The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet
apply it not, is as the likeness of the ass carrying books. Wretched is
the likeness of folk who deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah
guideth not wrongdoing folk.
S: The likeness of those who were charged with the Taurat, then they did
not observe it, is as the likeness of the ass bearing books, evil is
the likeness of the people who reject the communications of Allah; and
Allah does not guide the unjust people.
062.006
Y: Say: "O ye that stand on Judaism! If ye think that ye are friends to
Allah, to the exclusion of (other) men, then express your desire for
Death, if ye are truthful!"
P: Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured
of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are
truthful.
S: Say: O you who are Jews, if you think that you are the favorites of
Allah to the exclusion of other people, then invoke death if you are
truthful.
062.007
Y: But never will they express their desire (for Death), because of the
(deeds) their hands have sent on before them! and Allah knows well
those that do wrong!
P: But they will never long for it because of all that their own hands
have sent before, and Allah is Aware of evil-doers.
S: And they will never invoke it because of what their hands have sent
before; and Allah is Cognizant of the unjust.
062.008
Y: Say: "The Death from which ye flee will truly overtake you: then will
ye be sent back to the Knower of things secret and open: and He will
tell you (the truth of) the things that ye did!"
P: Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Lo! the death from which ye shrink will
surely meet you, and afterward ye will be returned unto the Knower of
the Invisible and the Visible, and He will tell you what ye used to do.
S: Say: (As for) the death from which you flee, that will surely
overtake you, then you shall be sent back to the Knower of the unseen
and the seen, and He will inform you of that which you did.
062.009
Y: O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday
(the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah,
and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but
knew!
P: 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.
S: O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then
hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is
better for you, if you know.
062.010
Y: And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the
land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of
Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.
P: 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.
S: But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and
seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be
successful.
062.011
Y: But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse
headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say: "The (blessing) from the
Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! and Allah is
the Best to provide (for all needs)."
P: 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.
S: And when they see merchandise or sport they break up for It, and
leave you standing. Say: What is with Allah is better than sport and
(better) than merchandise, and Allah is the best of Sustainers.
