He sent a Messenger from among the unlettered people to recite His verses, purify them, and teach them the Book and wisdom, though they were previously in clear error.

Żālika faḍlullāhi yu'tīhi may yasyā'(u), wallāhu żul-faḍlil-‘aẓīm(i).

مَثَلُ الَّذِيْنَ حُمِّلُوا التَّوْرٰىةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوْهَا كَمَثَلِ الْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ اَسْفَارًاۗ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِيْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ ۗوَاللّٰهُ لَا يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ

Those entrusted with the Torah but failed to uphold it are like donkeys carrying heavy books. Wretched is the example of those who deny God’s signs. God does not guide the unjust.

Say, O Muhammad, to the Jews, If you claim to be God’s chosen over others, then long for death if you are truthful.

وَلَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهٗٓ اَبَدًاۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ اَيْدِيْهِمْۗ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيْمٌۢ بِالظّٰلِمِيْنَ

wa lā yatamannaunahū abadam bimā qaddamat aidīhim, wallāhu ‘alīmum biẓ-ẓālimīn(a).

They will never long for death due to the sins their hands have committed. God knows well the wrongdoers.

O believers, when the call for Friday prayer is made, hasten to remember God and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

فَاِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلٰوةُ فَانْتَشِرُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَثِيْرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُوْنَ

fa iżā quḍiyatiṣ-ṣalātu fantasyirū fil-arḍi wabtagū min faḍlillāhi ważkurullāha kaṡīral la‘allakum tufliḥūn(a).

When the prayer is finished, disperse in the land, seek God’s bounty, and remember Him often so you may succeed.

وَاِذَا رَاَوْا تِجَارَةً اَوْ لَهْوًا ۨانْفَضُّوْٓا اِلَيْهَا وَتَرَكُوْكَ قَاۤىِٕمًاۗ قُلْ مَا عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ خَيْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّهْوِ وَمِنَ التِّجَارَةِۗ وَاللّٰهُ خَيْرُ الرّٰزِقِيْنَ ࣖ

wa iżā ra'au tijāratan au lahwaninfaḍḍū ilaihā wa tarakūka qā'imā(n), qul mā ‘indallāhi khairum minal-lahwi wa minat-tijārah(ti), wallāhu khairur-rāziqīn(a).

When they see trade or amusement, they rush to it, leaving you, O Muhammad, standing. Say, What is with God is better than amusement or trade. God is the best provider of sustenance.
