Transliteration:( Fa-izaa qudiyatis Salaatu fantashiroo fil ardi wabtaghoo min fadlil laahi wazkurul laaha kaseeral la'allakum tuflihoon )
28. This tells us that after performing Jumu'ah Salaah, one should not perform Zohr Salaah, because Allah Almighty has commanded that after performing the Friday Prayer, one should disperse to seek one's sustenance.The person on whom is obligatory, Zohr is not Otherwise, six Salaahs would become obligatory. Some people, after performing Jumu'ah, perform Zohr Salaah as a precaution, taking it to be Nafl and perform it like Nafl. There is nothing wrong in this.
29. This means after having performed your Jumah Salaah, you are given permission to engage in worldly business. This order is for permission and not for obligation. It should be remembered that Jumu'ah Salaah is obligatory upon males, those who are free, those who have attained the age of maturity, intelligent, healthy, one residing in a city. It is not obligatory upon the blind, the lame, villager,slave, woman, a child, a traveller and one who is demented.
30. This means besides the Salaah, remember Allah Almighty under all conditions Rememberance of Allah Almighty should become you routine.
The tafsir of Surah Jumuah verse 10 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Jumuah ayat 9 which provides the complete commentary from verse 9 through 10.
16. This does not mean that after the Friday is over, it is obligatory to go in search of livelihood, but it only implies permission. As it was ordered to stop all worldly business as soon as the call was made for the Prayer, so it is allowed that after the Prayer is over, the people may dispose and resume or pursue whatever occupation or business they may like. It is just like the prohibition of hunting in the state of ihram, but after ihram is put off, one is told to hunt. (Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 2). That does not mean that one must hunt, but that one may hunt if one so likes. Or, for instance, in Surah An-Nisa, permission to marry more than one wife has been given, saying: Marry two or three or four women whom you choose. Here, although the verb is in the imperative mood, no one has taken it in the meaning of a command. This gives the principle that the imperative form of the verb does not always imply an obligation or command. It sometimes implies the permission and sometimes exercise of choice or preference. The context determines where it implies the command, where the permission and where Allah’s approval of the act, and not that the act is obligatory. Immediately after this very sentence itself, it has been said: And remember Allah much. Here also the verb is in the imperative mood, but obviously it implies exercise of one’s choice and not that it is a duty or compulsion.
Here, another thing worthy of mention is that although in the Quran, Friday has not been declared a public holiday like the Jewish Sabbath and the Christian Sunday, yet no one can deny that Friday is a symbol of the Muslim community precisely in the same way as Saturday is a Jewish and Sunday a Christian symbol. And if declaring a day in the week a public holiday be a cultural necessity, then just as the Jews naturally select Saturday for it and the Christians Sunday, so a Muslim (if he has any Islamic feeling) will necessarily select only Friday for this purpose. The Christians did not even hesitate to impose their Sunday on some other countries where Christian population was negligible. When the Jews established their state in Palestine, the first thing they did was to announce Saturday as the weekly holiday instead of Sunday. In pre-partitioned India one conspicuous distinction between British India and the Muslim states was that in one part
