Is Jumu'ah prayer obligatory for women too, or only for men? How
should a woman pray? I am a woman andI do not have any place in the
mosque. Can I pray Jumu'ah at home by myself? Will I attain the reward
for Jumu'ah?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The scholars are agreed that Jumu'ah prayer is not obligatory for
women, and that they may pray four rak'ahs of Zuhr in their homes.
Ibn al-Mundhir (may Allaah have mercy on him) says in al-Ijmaa' (no. 52):
They are unanimously agreed that Jumu'ah is not obligatory for women.
End quote.
The evidence for that is the hadeeth of Taariq ibn Shihaab (may Allaah
be pleased with him) according to which the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Jumu'ah is a duty that
isrequired of every Muslimin congregation, except four: a slave, a
woman, achild or one who is sick."Narrated by Abu Dawood 91067).
Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo' (4/482): its isnaad is saheeh according
to the conditions of the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhaari and Muslim). Ibn
Rajab said in Fath al-Baari (5/327): its isnaad is saheeh. Ibn Katheer
said in Irshaad al-Faqeeh (1/190): its isnaad is jayyid. It was also
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami' (3111).
The reason why Jumu'ahis not obligatory for women is that
sharee'ahdoes not encourage women to attend places where men gather,
because of the negative consequences to which that may lead, as
happens nowadays in many workplaces where men and women mix. See also
Badaa'i' al-Sanaa'i' (1/258).
If a woman adheres to the shar'i conditions for her going out to the
mosque, such as not wearing adornments and perfume, then thereis
nothing wrong with her attending Jumu'ah prayers in the mosque and
praying two rak'ahs behind the imam, in which case she does not need
to pray Zuhr.
Ibn al-Mundhir (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Ijmaa' (no. 52, 53):
They are unanimously agreed that if women join the imam and pray with
him, that is sufficient for them. End quote.
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in al-Mughni (2/88):
But if she prays Jumu'ah it is valid, because for women to pray in
congregation is valid, as the women used to pray with the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in congregation. End
quote.
With regard to praying Jumu'ah in the home on one's own, this is not
valid for either a man or a woman, because Jumu'ah prayer is only
valid when done in congregation, as stated in the hadeeth of the
Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) quoted above:
"Jumu'ah is a duty that is required of every Muslim in congregation."
If a group wanted to pray Jumu'ah in the house, this is also not
valid, because Jumu'ah prayer is prescribed in order for the Muslims
to gather together in one place for prayer and to listen to the
khutbah and benefit from it. Hence it is not permissible for there to
be numerous Jumu'ah prayers in one city unless there is a need
forthat, such as if the city is very large or there is no jaami'
mosque that can hold all the people.
Based on this, if you do not go to the mosque to pray Jumu'ah, then
you should pray Zuhr at home.
It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah (7/337):
If a woman prays Jumu'ah with the imam, that is sufficient and she
does not have to pray Zuhr; it is not permissible for her to pray Zuhr
that day. But ifshe prays on her own then she can only pray Zuhr, and
she cannot pray Jumu'ah. End quote.
It is better for a woman to pray Zuhr in her house, because of the
general meaning of the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him): "Donot prevent your womenfrom going to the
mosques, although their houses are better for them." Narrated by Abu
Dawood (567); classed assaheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
If she wants to go to Jumu'ah, then she has toavoid perfume and
adornments, and not crowd together with men in the streets.
And Allaah knows best.

-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

Jumma Prayers - Jumu’ah prayer is not obligatory for women
Jumma Prayers - The virtue of listening attentively to the Jumu’ah khutbah
Will a man be rewarded for listening attentively to the Jumu'ah khutbah?.
Praise be to Allaah.
Listening attentively to the khateeb on Friday is an obligation, and
it is not permissible for the Muslims to be careless about that and
fidget, talk or ignore the khutbah. The following ahaadeeth have been
narrated concerning the virtues of listening attentively to the
khutbah.
1 – Expiation for sins committed between this Friday and the previous Friday.
It was narrated from AbuHurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever does ghusl, then comes to Jumu'ah, and prays what is decreed
for him, then listens attentively until the khutbah is over, then
prays with him (theimam), will be forgiven (his sins) between that and
the next Jumu'ah, and three days more."
Narrated by Muslim (857); a similar report was narrated from Salmaan
al-Faarisi by al-Bukhaari (883).
2 – For every step he takes to the mosque, thereward of fasting and
praying qiyaam for one year will be recorded forhim.
It was narrated that Aws ibn Aws said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever washes his head and his body (ghusl) on Friday, then sets out
early, is present at the beginning of the khutbah and is close (to the
imam), then listens attentively, for every step he takes he will have
the reward of fasting and praying qiyaam for one year."
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (496) who said: it is a hasan hadeeth. It was
classed as saheeh by al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan al-Kubra (3/227) and by
al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
3 – The reward for praying Jumu'ah depends on listening attentively.
It was narrated from AbuHurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"If you say to your companion, 'Listen attentively' on a Friday, when
the imam is delivering the khutbah, then you have engaged in idle
speech."
Narrated by al-Bukhaari (934) and Muslim (851).
4 – The one who listens attentively will have twokafl of reward.
'Ali ibn Abi Taalib delivered a khutbah in Kufah and said in his khutbah:
If a man sits in a place where he can hear and see (the imam) and
listens attentively and does not engage in idle speech or fidgeting,
he will have two shares of reward. If he stays far away and sits in a
place where he cannot hear but he listens attentively and does not
engage in idle speech or fidgeting, he will have one share of reward.
If he sits in a place where he can hearand see but he engages in idle
speech or fidgets and does not listen attentively, then he will have
one share of sin."
And at the end of that hesaid: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say that.
Narrated by Abu Dawood (1051) and classed as da'eef (weak) by
al-Albaani. A similar report was narrated from Abu Umaamah in a
marfoo' report in al-Mu'jam al-Kabeer (8/165) and in a mursal report
from Yahya ibn Abi Katheer in Musannaf 'Abd al-Razzaaq (3/223).

Islamic Stories - The Quran amazes a sailor
"(The unbelievers' state) is like a vast deep ocean,overwhelmed with
waves, one over the other, and above it is a cloud of darkness upon
darkness, one above another; if a man stretches out his hand, he can
hardly see it; For anyone to whom Allah gives no light, there is no
light." Al Quran, Surah An-Noor ( 24:40)
Gary Miller in his book,"The Amazing Quran" stated the following
story: A Muslim gave a copy of the Holy Quran to a man who was a
merchant marine. This man knew nothing about the history of Islam.
When he finished reading the Holy Quran, he asked his Muslim friend:
"This man Muhammad RasulAllah (SAW), was he a sailor? When he was told
that Muhammad RasulAllah (SAW) lived in a desert and probably did not
even see an ocean during his whole life, he embraced Islam on the
spot. He acknowledged that this description of the Holy Quran could
only be described by onewho had actually seen sea storms many times,
whereas Muhammad RasulAllah (SAW) never witnessed this phenomenon.

Islamic Stories - Unfolding a rose
A young, new ustadh (teacher) was walking with an older, more seasoned
ustadh (teacher) in the garden one day. Feeling a bit insecure about
what Allah had for him to do, he was asking the older ustadh for some
advice. The older ustadh walkedup to a rosebush and handed the young
ustadh a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any
petals. The young ustadhlooked in disbelief at theolder ustadh and was
trying to figure out whata rosebud could possiblyhave to do with his
wanting to know the will of Allah for his life and ministry.
But because of his great respect for the older ustadh, he proceeded to
try to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact... It wasn't
long before he realized how impossible this was to do. Noticing the
younger ustadh's inability to unfold the rosebud without tearingit,
the older ustadh began to recite the following poem...
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of Allah's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
ALLAH opens this flower so sweetly,
Then in my hands they die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of Allah's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Allah for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to Allah for Hisguidance
Each step of the way.
The pathway that lies before me,
Only Allah knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.
