The Virtues Of Jumu'ah Friday by Xz11z4u(m): 6:29am On Sep 30, 2016 |
The Virtues of Jumu’ah
1 . Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace)
said: “Friday is the best of days. It was on this
day that Hadrat Aadam alayhis salaam was
created, it was on this day that he was granted
entry into jannah , it was on this day that he was
removed from jannah (which became the cause
for man’s existence in this universe, and which is
a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will
also take place on this day. ” (Sahih Muslim)
2 . It is related from Imam Ahmad
rahmatullahialayh that he said that in certain
aspects the rank of the night of jumu’ah is even
higher than Laylatul Qadr One of the reasons for
this is that it was on this night that Rasulullah
(Allah bless him & give him peace) appeared in
the womb of his mother Rasulullah’s (Allah bless
him & give him peace) appearance in this world
was a cause of so much good and blessings
both in this world and in the hereafter that they
cannot be enumerated. (Ash’atulLama’aat)
3 . Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace)
said: “There is such an hour on Friday that if any
Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be
accepted. ” (Bukhari, Muslim) The ulama have
differed in specifying that hour which has been
mentioned in the Hadith . Shaykh Abdul Haq
Muhaddith Dehlawi rahmatullahialayh has
mentioned 40 different opinions in his
book Sharh Sifrus Sa’aadah . However, from
among all these opinions he has given preference
to two opinions: (1) That time is from the
commencement of the khutbah till the end of the
salaat, (2) That time is towards the end of the
day . A big group of ulama have given preference
to this second opinion and there are many
Ahadith which support this opinion . Shaykh
Dehlawi rahmatullahialayh says that this
narration is correct that Hadrat Fatimah
radiallahuanha used to order her maid on Fridays
to inform her when the day is about to end so
that she could occupy herself in
making zikr and duas. (Ash’atulLama’aat)
4 . Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace)
said: “Of all the days, Friday is the most
virtuous. It is on this day that the trumpet will
be blown. Send abundant durood upon me on
Fridays because they are presented to me on
that day. ” The Sahabah radiallahu anhum
asked: “O Rasulullah! How will they be presented
to you when even your bones will not be present
after your death?” Rasulullah (Allah bless him &
give him peace) replied: “Allah Ta’ala has made
the earth haraam upon the prophets forever .
” (Abu Daud)
5 . Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace)
said: “The word “shaahid” refers to Friday .
There is no day more virtuous than Friday. There
is such an hour in this day that no Muslim will
make dua in it except that his dua will be
accepted. And he does not seek protection from
anything except that Allah Ta’ala will grant him
protection . ” (Tirmidhi) The
word “shaahid” appears in Surah Burooj . Allah
Ta’ala has taken an oath of that day. He says in
the Quran:
“By the sky in which there are constellations .By
the promised day (of judgement). By the day
that witnesses (Friday), and the day that is
witnessed (day of Arafah). ”
6 . Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace)
said: “Friday is the “mother” of all days and the
most virtuous in the sight of Allah Ta’ala. In the
sight of Allah Ta’ala it has more greatness
than Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Ad’haa . ” (Ibn Majah)
7 . Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace)
said: “The Muslim who passes away on the
night or during the day of Friday, Allah Ta’ala
saves him from the punishment of the grave .
” (Tirmidhi)
8 . Once Hadrat Ibne Abbas radiallahu anhu
recited the following verse: “This day, I have
completed your Deen for you. ” A Jew was sitting
near him. On hearing this verse being recited he
remarked: “If this verse was revealed to us, we
would have celebrated that day as a day of eid .
” Ibne Abbas radiallahu anhu replied: “This verse
was revealed on two eids , i. e . on the day
of jumu’ah and the day of arafah . ” In other
words, what is the need for us to make that day
into a day of eid when it was already a day of
two eids ?
9 . Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace)
used to say that the night of jumu’ah is a
lustrous night, and the day of jumu’ah is a
lustrous day. (Mishkaat)
10 . After qiyaamah , Allah Ta’ala will send those
who deserve paradise into paradise, and those
who deserve hell into hell . The days that we
have in this world will also be there. Although
there will be no day and night, Allah Ta’ala will
show us the extent of days and nights and also
the number of hours. So when Friday will come
and that hour when the people used to go for
jumu’ah will approach, a person will call out
saying: “O dwellers of jannah ! Go into the jungles
of abundance, the length and breadth of which
are not known to anyone besides Allah Ta’ala.
There will be mounds of musk which will be as
high as the skies. The prophets alayhimus
salaam will be made to sit on towers of light,
and the believers on chairs of sapphires. Once
everyone is seated in their respective places,
Allah Ta’ala will send a breeze which will carry
that musk. That breeze will carry the musk and
apply it to their clothing, faces and hair . That
breeze will know how to apply that musk even
better than that woman who is given all the
different perfumes of the world. Allah Ta’ala will
then order the carriers of His throne to go and
place His throne among all these people. He will
then address them saying: “O my servants who
have brought faith in the unseen despite not
seeing Me, who have attested My Rasul (Allah
bless him & give him peace), and who have
obeyed My laws! Ask Me whatever you wish for .
This day is the day of giving abundantly . ” They
will all exclaim in one voice: “O Allah! We are
pleased with You, You also be pleased with us. ”
Allah Ta’ala will reply: “O dwellers of jannah ! If I
were not pleased with you all, I would not have
kept you in My jannah . Ask for something
because this is the day of giving in abundance. ”
They will all say in one voice: “O Allah! Show us
Your beauty, that we may be able to look at
Your noble being with our very eyes . ” Allah
Ta’ala will lift the veil and will become apparent
to these people and His beauty will engulf them
from all sides . If this order was not given from
before hand that the jannatis will never get
burnt, without doubt they would not have
endured the heat of this light and they would all
have got burnt. He will then ask them to go
back to their respective places . Their beauty
and attractiveness will double through the effects
of that Real beauty. These people will then go to
their wives. They will not be able to see their
wives nor will their wives be able to see them.
After a little while, the nur which was concealing
them will be removed and they will now be able
to see each other. Their wives will tell them that
how is it that you do not have the same
appearance which you had left with? That is,
your appearance is a thousand times better now.
They will reply that the reason for this is that the
noble being of Allah Ta’ala was made apparent
to us and we saw His beauty with our very eyes
. (Sharh Sifrus-Sa’aadah) See what a great
bounty they received on the day of jumu’ah.
11 . Every afternoon, the heat of jahannam is
increased. However, through the blessings of
jumu’ah, this will not be done on Fridays . (Ihyaa
ul-Uloom)
12 . On one Friday, Rasulullah (Allah bless him &
give him peace) said: “O Muslims! Allah Ta’ala
has made this day a day of eid . So have a bath
on this day, whoever has perfume should apply it,
and use the miswaak . ” (Ibn Majah) |
