Merits of Friday in Islam - Importance of Jumma

Merits of Friday

Friday prayer is one of the most important obligations in Islam, and one of the greatest gatherings of the Muslims.

Allah Says:
 
 �O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the prayer on the day of Friday,  come to the remembrance of Allah and leave off business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you but knew! Then when the prayer is finished, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful.� [62:9-10]

Hadth related Friday

Prophet said: �The most virtuous of your days is Jumu�ah. On that day, Adam was created and on that day he died, (on that day) the horn will be blown and the people will be dumbfounded! Increase your prayers upon me as your prayers upon me will be presented to me.� The people said: �O Messenger of Allah, how will our prayers be presented to you when you have passed away?� He said: �Allah has prohibited the earth from eating the bodies of the Prophets.� [This is related by the five, except for at-Tirmizhi.]

 The Messenger of Allah said while talking about the merits of Friday, �There is a time on Friday at which a Muslim, while he or she is performing prayer and is supplicating,
will be granted whatever he or she is supplicating for.� And the Prophet indicated with his hand that this period of time is very short. [Bukhari & Muslim]

The Prophet said, �The five daily prayers and Friday  prayer to the next Friday prayer, and the fasting of Ramadan to the next Ramadan, is expiation of the sins committed in between them, so long as major sins are avoided.� [Muslim]

The Messenger of Allah (sa) said, �Prayer in congregation is superior to praying individually twenty-seven times.� [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

 The Messenger of Allah (sa) said, �Whoever leaves his home in a state of purity to perform obligatory prayer, his reward is like that of a pilgrim (while) in the state of ihram [i.e. he receives reward similar to that of spending time in ihram during Hajj].� [Abu Dawud, classed as Saheeh by Al-Albani]

Surah al Kahf is the 18th Surah of Qur'an and it tells the story of the believers in ancient time who when received the message of Truth accepted it. However, they were to face retaliation from the society they lived in and hence the flee from the city and found protection in a cave where Allah Almighty gave them sleep that lasted for centuries and till then their whole city had converted into believers.

Friday - Importance of Jumma - Hadith related Friday

FRIDAY

In Islam, Friday is a holy day. Friday is a very important day for Muslims.  Friday observance includes attendance at a mosque for congregation prayer or Salat AlJumu'ah. As well as a day of rest it is considered a day of peace and mercy. Directly before the prayer they listen to a lecture designed to empower them with valuable knowledge about Allah and the religion of Islam.

A believer's entire life is one worship; even celebrations are conducted as worship. While there is no special place or special time to worship God, there are moments, days, or time that God has made more superior; Friday is one of those times.

HADITH RELATED TO FRIDAY 

Imam Bukhari and Muslim reported:
 Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) had said, "We (Muslims) came last and yet we are the first on the day of judgment. They have received the books before us (meaning Torah and Injil). We have received the book after them (meaning the Qur�an). Friday was their day to be glorified. However, they disputed on that while Allah had told us Friday is the day to glorify. Thus they will follow us. The Jews glorify Saturday, and the Christians glorify Sunday."

Muslims Have to Do The Following Works On FRIDAY

 Narrated Abdullah bin Umar:
Allah's messenger (P.B.U.H) said, "Anyone of you attending the Friday (prayers) should take a bath."

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said, " The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every male (Muslim) who has attained the age of puberty."

Narrated Abu Hurairah:
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said, " Any person who takes bath on Friday like the bath of Janabe and then  goes for the prayer ( in the first hour i.e. early) , it is as if he had sacrificed a camel ( in Allah's cause): and however goes in second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (start delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba."

 Narrated Salman-Al-Farsi:
The Prophet of Allah (P.B.U.H) said," Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jummah prayer) and does not separate two person sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam in delivering the Khutba, his sis in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven."

 THE MERITS OF THE FRIDAY

(1) Allah created Adam (A.S) on Friday
(2) Hazrat Adam (A.S) entered in Paradise on  Friday
(3) Hazrat Adam (A.S) was sent to the Earth on Friday as his vicegerent.
(4) Hazrat Adam  (A.S) died on Friday.
(5) There is a blessed hour on Friday during which a person is granted anything lawful and good by Allah that he prays for.
(6) The Day of Judgment will be on a Friday.

Reported by Imam Muslim, Abo-Dawod, Al-Nesaii, and Al-Termithi:
Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) had said, "The best day during which the sun have risen is Friday. It is the Day Adam was created. It is the day when Adam entered paradise and also when he was taken out from it. It is also the day on which the day of judgment takes place."

Abu Huraira reported that Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) said:
" The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam war created .On it he was made to enter the Paradise, On it he was expelled from it and the last hour will take place on no day other then Friday."

COMMAND FOR FRIDAY

Friday Prayer is obligatory and this is supported by the Qur�an, the Sunnah and the consensus of the Muslims. It occupies an important place among the distinctive features of Islam. A person who does not believe in the obligatory status of the Friday Prayer falls outside the pale of Islam, and the one who abandons it due to negligence and carelessness, without a genuine reason, becomes a sinner. The Qur�?n says:

O Believers! When you hear the call to the Friday Prayer, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave your trading; this is better for you only if you know it. (62 9)

Here remembrance means the Friday Sermon and the congregational service, and hastening implies that one should make necessary preparations for it and attend the mosque promptly.

This unusual stress throws light on the unique importance of the Friday Prayer.
