Al-Jumuʿah الجمعة "Friday"

Holy Quran

Al-Jumuʿah is the 62nd chapter of the Quran, with 11 verses

The chapter is named al-jumu`ah ("Friday") because it is the day of assembly, when the community abandons trade, transactions, and other diversions in favor of assembling to seek the all-encompassing truth and most beneficent and seek the "bounty of God" exclusively (Verse 9)

This is an Al-Musabbihat surah because it begins with the glorification of God.

Hadith about Surah Al-Jumua

The first and foremost exegesis/tafsir of the Qur'an is found in hadith of Muhammad.[3] Although some scholars, including ibn Taymiyyah, claim that Muhammad has commented on the whole of the Qur'an, others including Ghazali cite the limited amount of narratives, thus indicating that he has commented only on a portion of the Qur'an.[4] Ḥadīth (حديث) is literally "speech" or "report", that is a recorded saying or tradition of Muhammad validated by isnad; with Sirah Rasul Allah these comprise the sunnah and reveal shariah. According to Aishah,[5][6] the life of Muhammad was a practical implementation of Qur'an.[7][8][9] Therefore, mention in hadith elevates the importance of the pertinent surah from a certain perspective.

• In the Friday prayer he (Muhammad) would recite Surah Al-Jumua and Surah Al-Munafiqun (63).[10][11]

• Al-Dahhak b. Qais asked al-Nu'man b. Bashir: What did the Messenger of Allah recite on Friday after reciting the Surah Al-Jumua. He replied: He used to recite, "Had the story of overwhelming event reached you?" (Al-Ghashiyah (88)).[12][13][14][15][16]

Ibn Abi Rafi' said: Abu Hurairah led us in the Friday prayer and recited Surah Al-Jumua and "When the hypocrites come to you" (Al-Munafiqun 63) in the last rak'ah. He said: I met Abu Hurairah when he finished the prayer and said to him: You recited the two surah that Ali ibn Abi Talib used to recite at Kufa. Abu Hurairah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah reciting them on Friday.[17][18][19]

Translation by Abdul Haleem (Quran.com)

1. Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies God, the Controller, the Holy One, the Almighty, the Wise.
2. It is He who raised a mes-senger, among the people who had no Scripture, to recite His revelations to them, to make them grow spiritually and teach them the Scripture and wisdom––before that they were clearly astray––
3. to them and others yet to join them. He is the Almighty, the Wise:
4. such is God’s favour that He grants it to whoever He will; God’s favour is immense.
5. Those who have been charged to obey the Torah, but do not do so, are like asses carrying books: how base such people are who disobey God’s revelations! God does not guide people who do wrong.
6. Say [Prophet], ‘You who follow the Jewish faith, if you truly claim that out of all people you alone are friends of God, then you should be hoping for death.’
7. 
   But because of what they have stored up for themselves with their own hands they would never hope for death––God knows the wrongdoers very well––
8. so say, ‘The death you run away from will come to meet you and you will be returned to the One who knows the unseen as well as the seen: He will tell you everything you have done.’
9. Believers! When the call to prayer is made on the day of congregation, hurry towards the reminder of God and leave off your trading––that is better for you, if only you knew––
10. then when the prayer has ended, disperse in the land and seek out God’s bounty. Remember God often so that you may prosper.
11. Yet they scatter towards trade or entertainment whenever they observe it, and leave you [Prophet] standing there. Say, ‘God’s gift is better than any entertainment or trade: God is the best provider.’
