with no doubt we all know that friday is the amongst the best days in ISLAM. so here are some facts about jumm,a FACT #1 Even if we wanted to, we
couldn’t count the blessings of
Allah. An obvious blessing is
the day of Jumu’ah
(congregational prayer for
Muslims). Friday is called Jummah. The Messenger of
Allah (peace and blessings be
upon him) said: “The best day
the sun rises over is Friday. On
it Allah created Adam. On it he
was made to enter paradise, on it he was expelled from it,
and the Last Hour will take
place on no other day than
Friday.”
[Ahmad and At-Tirmidhi]. FACT #2 “It was named Jumu’ah
because it is derived from the
word Al-Jam’ in Arabic which
means to gather, as Muslims
gather on this day every
week, and Allah has commanded the believers to
gather for His worship, as He
says that which means: “Oh
you who believe! When the
call is proclaimed for Jumu`ah
(Friday prayer), come fast to the remembrance of Allah.”
(meaning be keen to go and
attend it)
[Quran 62: 9] FACT #3 The congregational prayer
(Jumu’ah prayer) is one of the
obligatory acts in Islam and
one of the great gatherings of
Muslims. The angels sit in wait
for the arrival of people. Prophet Muhammad (peace
and blessings be upon him)
said: “On the day of Jummah,
the angels stand at the
entrance of that masjid in
which Jumuah salat is to be offered. They write down the
name of the person who
enters the masjid first, and
thereafter the name of the
person who follows, and they
continue doing this. The person who entered first will
receive the reward of
sacrificing a camel in the path
of Allah; the one who
followed him will get the
reward of sacrificing a cow, thereafter a chicken,
thereafter the reward of
giving an egg as charity in the
path of Allah.Once the
khutbah commences, the
angels close the register and begin listening to the
khutbah.”
[Bukhari and Muslim] FACT #4 The day of Jumu’ah includes
an hour during which all
supplications are accepted.
Abu Hurayrah, narrated that
the Messenger of Allah (peace
and blessings be upon him), said: “On (the day of) Jumu’ah
is an hour during which Allah
gives to a Muslim servant
standing in prayer whatever
he asks for.”
[Bukhari and Muslim] FACT #5 Giving your charity on
Jummah carries more virtue
than other days. Ka’b,
narrated that Prophet
Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him) said, “Charity given during the day
of Jumu’ah is greater (in
reward) than any other day.” FACT #6 Believers in Allah will see
Allah on Jummah. FACT #7 It is an Eid for muslims. This
holiday happens regularly and
frequently. Ibn Abbas,
narrated that the Messenger
of Allah (peace and blessings
be upon him) said, “Jumu’ah is a day of celebration, so
whoever attends it should
perform ghusl beforehand.”
[Ibn Majah] FACT #8 It is a day on which sins are
forgiven.
Salman narrated Prophet
Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him) said,
“Any man who performs ghusl on Friday, perfumes
himself if he has perfume,
wears the best of his clothes,
then goes to the mosque and
offers as many prayers as he
wishes while not harming anybody, then listens quietly
while the Imam speaks until
he offers the prayer, will have
all his sins between that
Friday and the next forgiven.”
[Al Bukhari] FACT #9 When walking to attend the
Friday sermon, a Muslim gets
the reward of both praying
qiyam (the night prayer) and
fasting a full year. Aws ibn
Aws narrated Prophet Muhammad (peace and
blessings be upon him) said,
“Whoever performs ghusl on
Friday after having sexual
intercourse with his wife,
then goes early to the mosque and attends from the
beginning of the khutbah and
draws near to the Imam and
listens to him attentively,
Allah will give him the full
reward of fasting all the days of a year and observing night-
vigil on each of its nights for
every step that he took
towards the mosque.”
[Ahmad] FACT #10 Dying on Friday, during the
day or night, is a sign of a
good end. Allah The Almighty
will enable the person to be
steadfast during it. Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said,
“Any Muslim who dies during
the day or night of Friday will
be protected by Allah from
the trial of the grave.” [At
Tirmidhi and Ahmad] SUBHANALLAH!!! Please Share ……Spread the
knowledge so it will be
Sadqa-e-Jaaria (everlasting
charity) for you and for us…
In’Shaa’Allah. The Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him) said:
“Whoever directs
someone to a good, then
he will have the reward
equal to the doer of the action.” [Muslim 1893]
