Friday The Day Of Celebration

غسل الجمعة يبدأ من طلوع الفجر، لكن الأفضل أن لا يغتسل إلا بعد طلوع الشمس

● [فتاوى ١٦\١٠٠]

‎“Whoever seeks honour, let him seek it by obedience to Allāh - through good speech and righteous work.”

‎“Enough as a punishment for sins is that it prevents you from worshipping Allāh,

‎even if you wanted to.”

1 - Bathing (Ghusl) on the day of Jumumah (Bukhari 877)

2 - To wear nice clothes (Abu Dawood,)

3 - Use perfume ('Perfume' refers to men only, as it's not permissible for women in public) and use the Miswaak. (Ibn Majah)

4 - Going early to Jumuah Prayer (Bukhari 929 & Muslim 1964 )

5 - Walking to Masjid for Jumuah Paryer (Al-Tirmidi, 496)

6 - If the Saffs (rows) are already filled, one should not jump over the shoulders of the musallies in order to get to the front. (Abu Dawood)

7 - Try to sit as close as possible to the Imam. (Majah, Tirmidhi)

8 - Listening attentively to Khutba (Sermon) (Bukhari 934)

9 - Making a lot of du’aa’. [al-Bukhaari, 893; Muslim, 852]

10 - Seek the Hour: Rasulallah (sallahu allayhe wasalam) said: “There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua (Supplication) in it, his dua will definitely be accepted.” (Bukhari 935, Muslim)

11- Sins Forgiven: The five daily prayers, and from one Jumuah to the next, are an expiation for whatever sins come in between, so long as one does not commit any major sin. (Muslim, 233)

12- Increase your Durood (example: Durood Ibrahim)

“Recite Durood upon me in abundance on the day of Jummah since they are presented to me.” (Ibn Majah)

13- Recite Soorat al-Khaf

“Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.”

(Narrated by al-Haakim, 2/399; al-Bayhaqi, 3/249. Al-Albani Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6470)

Allah says:

O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if you only knew.

(Soorat Al-Jumu'ah, 9)

Don't Forget Allah:

Allah says: And when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful.

(Soorat al-Jumu'ah, 10)

Make sure to share this to others and tell your friends:

"Whoever revives a Sunnah from my Sunnah and the people practice it, will have the same reward of those who practice it without their reward diminishing" (Sunan ibn Maajah, 209)

Sheikh Muhammad bin Saleh al ‘Uthaymeen mentioned:

It is incumbent upon the student of knowledge to act upon his knowledge. This includes belief, worship, manners, character and dealings with others. This is the fruit and result of knowledge. The carrier of knowledge is similar to the carrier of a weapon. This weapon could either defend him or harm him. It is because of this that the Prophet (may the Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ

The Quran is a proof for you or against you. (Sahih Muslim)

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah [‫رضى الله عنه‬] that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Do not single out the night of Friday for qiyaam al-layl, and do not single out the day of Friday for fasting, unless that is part of the habitual fasting of any one of you.”

(Narrated by Muslim, 1144).

Al-San’aani (رحمه الله) said in Subul al-Salaam: This hadeeth indicates that it is haraam to single out the night of Friday for worship or reading Qur’aan that is not one’s regular custom, apart from that which is indicated in the texts, such as reading Soorat al-Kahf.

Al-Nawawi (رحمه الله) said: This hadeeth clearly states that it is forbidden to single out the night of Friday for prayer or the day of Friday for fasting. It is agreed (among the scholars) that this is makrooh.

❝The reward is doubled in accordance with one perfecting his Islaam and with his perfecting the strength of Ikhlaas, in that action.❞
