THE BELIEVER’S LIVELIHOOD
Believers, when you are summoned to Friday
prayer, hasten to the remembrance of God and
cease your trading. That would be best for you, if
you but knew it. Then, when the prayer is ended,
disperse and go your ways in quest of God’s
bounty. Remember God always, so that you may
prosper. But when they see some merchandise or
passing delight, they flock to it eagerly, leaving you
(The Prophet) alone. Say: “That which God has in
store is far better than and passing delight or
merchandise. God is the best of providers.”
(62:9-11).
