Salatul Jumuah/Friday prayer

Description of Jumu'ah Prayer

Introduction: Jumu'ah means the aggregate day of the week or the day of gathering. Since everyone gathers on this day, it is called Jumu'ah prayer. Instead of the Zuhr prayer on Friday, the prayer that everyone has to perform together with the Jamaat in the mahalla mosque is called the Friday prayer.

Time: The time of Zuhr prayer is the same time as Jumu'ah prayer. Naming: There are many reasons for naming this day Jumua. E.g.-

1. In the book, it is narrated from Hadrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas in Ain that this day is called Jumu'ah because he gathered all the materials for the creation of Adam (AS).

2. Khozayma (R) narrates from Salman Farsi (R), the Prophet (SAW) said, Adam and Eve (AS) came together on this day.

3. Ibn Hazam (R) said that it is called Jumu'ah because people gather on this day.

The significance of Friday prayers

Allama Shaykh Alauddin (R) said that the reason and significance of introducing Jumu'ah prayer is that it is difficult for all Muslims to gather in the same place at the same time every day. Therefore, it is necessary to set a time so that everyone can gather at a certain place. That is why a special day of the week has been chosen so that everyone can come together. This is the significance of introducing Friday prayers.

The virtues of Friday

Prayer is the most beloved act of worship to Almighty Allah. That is why the most urgent prayer has come. Friday is the best day of the week. Because, on this day, Allah Ta'ala has bestowed the most blessings for the people. It is wonderful to describe the virtues of this day. So here is a brief discussion-

* Adam (AS) was created on this day.

* On this day he was given to live in heaven.

* On this day he was taken out of heaven and sent to earth.

* Musnad Ahmad has - the virtue of this day is more than Shabe Qadr. Because on that day the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to the womb of his mother Amina. In the coming of the Messenger lies the infinite good of the Hereafter. This is the day the world was created, and this is the day it will be destroyed.
