Friday..the Importance Of Jumuah.. by Mathematical(f): 11:39am On Jan 09, 2015

Friday is the sixth day in Islamic week. The literal meaning of Friday is congregation. In islam, this day is given the most importance than any other days of the week. Every Friday, Prayer of Jummah is offered and for this prayer special time is taken. Imams of all masjids deliver khutbah on a special topic every Friday.

From various hadith, it is proven that Prophet Muhammad used to celebrate this day and he declared jummah as weekly eid for muslims. He used to wear clean and new (washed) clothes, used to take bath, wear fragrance, wear surmah for this day specially.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad described the virtues of Jummah prayer in the following hadith with these words;

”When the Friday comes, at every door of the Masjid there stands Angels who write down (the names of) those who come First, then who comes next. When the Imam sits down, the records are closed and they come to listen to the reminder , i.e. the Khutba….”

From authentic hadith, it is taken that Prophet Muhammad advised Muslims to recite surah al-Kahf on every Friday to keep safe from the fitnah of dajjal.

While the fast on Jummah is forbidden i.e. the single fast in a week cannot be observed on jummah but it can be observed in pair i.e. with Thursday or with Saturday.

From the history, it is proven that Jummah was most important day for the previous nations as well. It is still considered a blessed day in many religions for example Hinduism. Thus, Friday is considered a special and important day right from the very beginning of humanity.



HAPPY JUMAAH FELLOW MUSLIM BROTHERS AND SISTER'S
