Verses 1-8 describe that Muhammad (PBUH) was sent to unlettered people and to the future generations. An example of Jews has been given as donkeys laden with books. They could not live their lives as per the teachings of Torah. God asks forms Jews because of their claim that they are favorites of God, that if you are truthful then pray for your death but they will not wish for death as God is aware of their evil deeds.
Verses 9-10 describe that believers have been directed to hasten to the remembers of God at the time of Friday prayer and give up all the trading at the time. It is better for the believers if they understand. When the prayer is finished, believers must be disbursed in the land and seek God's bounties and remember God.
In 11th concluding verse God says, that which is with God is for better than amusement and trading. God is the best provider of sustenance.
