Al-Jumu’ah 62:10
The Congregation, Friday · Medinan · Juz 28 · Page 554
Disperse in the Land
فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةُ فَٱنتَشِرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱبۡتَغُواْ مِن فَضۡلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرࣰا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ ١٠
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.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
When the prayer is finished, disperse in the land and seek Allah’s bounty.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, the obligatory Friday prayer is two units; once it ends, one may disperse in the land for lawful earnings, but should remember Allah much.
Reflect
Don’t forget to remember Allah while you work.
