Al-Jumu'ah
Al-Jumuʿah is the 62nd chapter of the Quran, with 11 verses. The chapter is named al-jumu`ah 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 Allah" exclusively. This surah is an Al-Musabbihat surah because it begins with the glorification of Allah.
