Importance of Juma’ah

Posted on 2/21/2014


What happen on Juma'ah?

The Friday prayer (Juma’ah Salat) is very important for each Muslim, male and female,
because it is their weekly Salat and it is a blessing that Allah bestowed on the people of
Muhammad (SAW).






The chosen one (SAW) has said, “Whoever makes an ablution, and makes it well, then 
comes to the Masjid on Friday for Juma’ah, and listens to the Khutbah attentively and 
keeps silent, his minor sins between that Friday and the following Friday will be forgiven, 
with the addition of three more days. But, he who touches pebbles (during the Salat or 
Khutbah) has caused an interruption.” It is clear from this that one should listen 
attentively to the Imam during the Khutbah, and not play with anything, such as a watch, 
prayer beads, or anything else, or you will lose your reward. 

The Prophet (SAW) said, “The five daily prayers, and praying one Friday prayer and the 
next, and the fasting of Ramadan, result in the expiation of the sins committed between 
them, so long as major sins are avoided.” This does not, however, mean that the Muslims 
should come to the Masjid only on Fridays, neglecting it at other times. This does not 
mean either that Muslims should indulge in sins at will, thinking that they will be 
forgiven anyhow. 

“If a man takes a bath on Friday, or purifies himself as much as he can with ablution, oils 
his hair, applies whatever perfume (or oil) available in his house, sets forth to the Masjid, 
and does not separate two people (to make space for himself), offers Salat that is 
prescribed for him, remains silent when the Imam speaks, his minor sins between that 
Friday and the following will be forgiven,” the Prophet (SAW) has said. It is Sunnah to oil 
the head and beard, put on perfume, and pay attention during the Khutbah. 

The Prophet (saw) also said, “The best day on which the sun has ever risen is Friday; on 
that day, Adam was created, he was admitted to Paradise, and he was expelled from 
there.” He has also said, “Among the best of your days is Friday. On that day, invoke 
blessings on me frequently, for your blessings are presented to me.” Rasul-Allah (SAW) 
said, “The Sun does not rise nor set on a day that is better than Friday, and there is no 
creature that is not scared of Friday except for humans and jinns.” They are afraid 

because Judgment Day will be on a Friday.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet (SAW) said, “There is a time on Friday at which a 
Muslim, while he is offering Salat and is supplicating, will be granted whatever he is asking for.” He indicated with his hands that this period of time is very short, the 
duration kept unknown to induce Muslims to worship throughout Friday

MasyaAllah. So lucky who the one pray to Allah and ask something from Allah on Jumu'ah .. Allah will fulfill what you're asking for.

So what are you waiting for?  Today is Jumu'ah right? Go prepare and don't forget to do Jumu'ah Salat.

Wallahu A'lam
