English Translation of Al-Quran

[62] Surah Al-Jama’ah [The Friday]

Ayat 6. Say (O Muhammad   [SAWW](PBUH): "O you Jews! If you pretend that you are friends of Allah, to the exclusion of (all) other mankind, then long for death if you are truthful."

Tafseer of Surah Al-Jama’ah (The Friday) Ayat 6. 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!" Standing in Judaism is a very different thing from following the Law and Will of Allah. An arrogant claim to be a chosen people, to be the exclusive possessors of divine teaching, to be exempt from any punishment for breaches of the divine law, (Cf. 2:88), is presumptuous blasphemy. It may be Judaism, but it is not in the spirit of Moses. Cf. 2:94-96. If they claimed to be special friends of Allah, why do they not eagerly desire death, which would bring them nearer to Allah? But of all people, they are the most tenacious of this life and the good things of this life! And they know that their grasping selfish lives have run up a score of sin against them, which will meet its recompense.

English Translation of Hadith

Hazrat Nawwas bin Saman (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ  [SAWW](PBUH) about virtue and sin, and he said, "Virtue is noble behavior, and sin is that which creates doubt and you do not like people to know about it.''

[Muslim 32, Chapter 03, Hadith # 6195]

Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Juma’ah Ayat 06. “Then long for death if you are truthful" An important principle enshrined in this Hadith says that courtesy is a virtue, because a refined mind cultivates good habits, performs good deeds, and shuns all that is bad and corrupt. Also, a simple and understandable principle is laid down about sin. Man feels the pricking of conscience over every bad deed and is also afraid of the reproach of fault-finders, provided he has not reached the lowest point of moral depravity. But a seared conscience is least disturbed even by a heinous and deadly sin or by public censure. We can understand it by the example of man's smelling sense. If it is not dead, man can feel a stink and repugnant Oduor. But a long association with a dung heap robs away one's smelling sense and feeling of refuse.
