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."
