Walexz02:
Thanks for the reply. In your second post idont understand point number 12, please can you expatiate?

When Rasulallah (Pbuh) name is mentioned in the khutba then it is permissible to recite durood in the heart only without the movement of the lips or tongue.

The Virtues and Sunnah's of Jummah

Hadhrat Ali Ibn Abu Taalib (RA) narrated: on the pulpit in the mosque of Kufah: When Friday comes, the devils go to the markets with their flags, and involve people in their needsand prevent them from the Friday prayer. The angels come early in the morning, sit at the door of the mosque, and record that so-and-so came at the first hour, and so-and-so came at the second hour until the imam comes out (for preaching). When a man sits in a place where he can listen (to the sermon) and look (at the imam), where he remains silent and does not interrupt, he will receive a double reward. If he stays away, sits in a place where he cannot listen (to the sermon), silent, and does not interrupt, he will receive the reward only once. If he sits in a place where he can listen (to the sermon) and look (at the imam), and he does not remain silent, he will have the burden of it. If anyone says to his companion sitting besides him to be silent (while the imam is preaching), he is guilty of idle talk. Anyone who interrupts (during the sermon) will receive nothing (no reward) on that Friday. Then he (the narrator) says in the end of this tradition: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) say so. (Abu Dawood 1046)

In the narration above, there is nothing to suggest that silently doing dhkr (with tesuba/rosary) is unlawful. What we don't do is talking as speculated above. Shaking hands and or making gesture to fellow Muslim who may greet you, i think it's better to just shake head in acknowledgement. But I rarely see muslims greet while khutba is on. Just come in and take your sit or stand up for the two rakat and remain silent until after jumah is over.

The above hadith is common knowledge. You dont talk during khutba. You do more listening than talking. Period

Hope it helps.

Thank you for your replies, "it is highly recommended to listen to the kuthba attentively..." So as to learn lessons from it. But when on start performing dhikr may be with tesuba, isn't that person dividing his attention? Would that person concentrate on the uthba as suggested? I think it would be preferable to keep mute and jist listen to the uthba.. Allah knows best.

Empiree:
To be honest with you, I personally do not say anything, nor use rosary until after jummah altogether. The reason I said earlier that using tesuba may be ok was because if it meet standard highlighted in #12.

I seldom see muslims use rosary or make dhikr during khutba. Those I saw count tesuba without opening their mouth.

Yes, attention is needed 100% during khutba. But that's way better than young guys today who even receive incoming calls on their cellphone. That's gross.

oyoman:
The ideal thing for a muslim is to listen attentively to the sermon with no distraction whatso ever, reading of Quran and other dhikr can be done at a later time
May Allah assist us
amin
barka jumah to all muslims

dragnet:
...in addition, counting prayer beads isn't part of islam.

kalybaly:
There is no big deal in both. When counting prayer beads.. You probably doing zikr or glorifying Allah or asking for forgiveness which probably even soften your heart the more to digest the message. And even if u shake hands... How long does that take? Doesn't and shouldn't stop you from listening get to the sermon. You dont have to be so rigid about Islam and that's the problem nowadays especially for us that live in secular countries. Tend to your heart and establish your faith with the fear of Allah and other things would fall in line naturally. Salaam aleikum.
