the day of Jumu'ah , or Friday . The Messenger of Allaah, , said: "The
best day the sun rises over is Friday; on it Allaah created Aadam. 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-At-Tirmithi].
Imaam Ibn Katheer , said, "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 Allaah has commanded the believers
to gather for His worship, as He says that which means : } "O you who
believe! When the call is proclaimed for Jumu`ah (Friday prayer), come
fastto the remembrance of Allaah" { [Quran, 62: 9] meaning be keen to
go and attend it."
Here are some other virtues and facts about the Day of Jumu'ah :
· It includes the congregational Jumu'ah prayer, which is one of the
obligatory acts in Islam and one of the great gatherings of the
Muslims. Allah The Almighty will seal the heart of whoever abandons
and slights this, according to the Prophet , in a Hadeeth (narration)
in the book of Imaam Muslim .
· The day of Jumu'ah includes an hour during which all supplications
are accepted. Abu Hurayrah , narrated that the Messenger of Allaah ,
said: "On (the day of) Jumu'ah is an hour during which Allaahgives to
a Muslim servant standing in prayer whatever he asks for."
[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim].
· Giving in charity during this day is more virtuous than any other
day. Ka'b , narrated that the Messenger, , said: "Charity given during
theday of Jumu'ah is greater(in reward) than any other day."
· The believers will see their Lord from Paradise on that day. Anas
ibn Maalik, said regardingthe saying of Allaah The Almighty (which
means): } "And We have more (i.e. a glance at the All-Mighty)" {
[Quran, 50: 35] "Allaah will appear to them on the day of Jumu'ah."
· It is an 'Eed , i.e., a recurrent holiday and celebration. Ibn
'Abbaas , narrated that the Messenger of Allaah said: "Jumu'ah is a
day of celebration, so whoever attends it should performGhusl
(bathing) beforehand." [Ibn Maajah].
· It is a day on which sins are forgiven, as narrated by Salmaan who
narrated that the Prophet, 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 Imaam
speaks until he offers the prayer, will have all his sins between that
Friday and the next forgiven." [Al-Bukhaari].
· When walking to attend the Friday sermon, a Muslim gets the reward
of both praying Qiyaam (i.e., the night prayer) and fasting a full
year. Aws ibn Aws narrated that the Prophet, , said: "Whoever performs
Ghusl on Friday after having sexual intercoursewith his wife, then
goes early to the mosque and attends from the beginning of the Khutbah
and draws near to the Imaam and listens to him attentively, Allaah
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." [Ibn Khuzaymah, Ahmad].
· Hell is fired-up during every day of the week except Friday, as a
mark of honour and respect for the day of Friday.
· Dying on Friday, during the day or night, is a signof a good end,
for the one who dies on that daywill be protected from the trial of
the grave (i.e.,Allaah The Almighty will enable such a person to be
steadfast during it). The Prophet, said: "AnyMuslim who dies during
the day or night of Fridaywill be protected by Allaah from the trial
of the grave." [At-Tirmithi and Ahmad].
