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]
