Praise be to Allaah.
It should be noted that the entire life of a Muslim is worship of
Allaah; there is no special day for worship, for the Muslim is
worshipping Allaah all the time. But there is a day which Allaah has
made special for this ummah (nation), the nation of Muhammad (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him), andwhich Allaah has favoured
above all the other days of the week. That day is Friday. There are a
number of hadeeths which speak ofthe virtue of this day, including the
following:
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "We (Muslims) are the last
(of the nations) but (we will be) the foremost on the Day of
Resurrection, although the former nations were given their scriptures
before us and we were given our after them. And this (Friday) is the
day concerning which they disputed. So Allaah guided us (to it),
tomorrow (i.e., Saturday) is for the Jews and the day after (i.e.,
Sunday) is for the Christians." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Jumu'ah,
847).
It was also narrated (by al-Bukhaari) that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The best day on
which the sun rises is Friday. On this day Adam was created, on this
day he entered Paradise and on this day he was expelled from it."
(Narrated by Muslim, al-Jumu'ah, 1410)
It was narrated that Taariq ibn Shihaab said: "A Jewish man said to
'Umar, 'O Commander of the faithful, if this aayah – 'This day, I have
perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and
have chosen for you Islam as your religion' [al-Maa'idah 5:3 –
interpretation of the meaning] – had been revealed to us, we would
have taken that day as an 'Eid (festival)." 'Umar said, "I know on
which day this aayah was revealed; it was revealed on the Day of
'Arafaah, which was a Friday." (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, Al-I'tisaam
bi'l-Kitaab wa'l-Sunnah, 6726).
Among the hadeeth which explain the reward for this day is that which
was narratedby Abu Hurayrah, which says that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Each of the five
daily prayers and from one Jumu'ah prayer to the next is an expiation
for the time in between, so long as one does not commit any major
sin." (al-Tahaarah, 342).
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: "The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: 'When Friday comes,
at each door of the mosque there are angels who write down the first
ones to come to the mosque. Then when the imaam sits down they close
their books and come to listen to thesermon. The one who comes early
(for Friday prayer) is like who sacrificed a camel, then those who
come after him (in order of their coming) are like one who sacrificed
a cow, then one who sacrificed a horned ram, then one who sacrificed a
chicken, then like one who offered an egg." (narrated by al-Bukhaari,
al-Jumu'ah, 1416).
It was also narrated in a hadeeth that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "One of the best of your days
is Friday. On it Adam was created and on it he died. On it the Trumpet
will be blown and on it all creatures will perish (prior to the
Resurrection on the Last Day). So send many blessings upon me on that
day, for your blessings will be shown to me." They said, "How will our
blessings be shown to you when yourbody will have become dust?" He
said, "Allaah has forbidden the earth to consume our [Prophets']
bodies." (Narrated by Abu Dawood and al-Nasaa'i; classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb, no. 695).
It was narrated in a hadeeth that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever makes his wife do ghusl and does
ghusl himself [i.e., has intercourse] on Friday and goes out early,
walking not riding, and comes close to the imaam and listens [to the
sermon] without interrupting, will have for each step he takes a
reward equal to that of fasting and praying at night for one year."
(Narrated by Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
Saheeh al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb, no. 687)
It was narrated from AbuHurayrah that the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) mentioned Friday and said: "On
this day there is an hour when no Muslim slave stands and prays and
asks Allaah forsomething, but Allaah will give it to him," and he
gestured with his hand to indicate that whatever he asks fo , is as
nothing to Allaah. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Jumu'ah, 883)
It was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Seek the hour in which there
is hope that prayers will be answered, on Friday after 'Asr
(mid-afternoon) prayer, until the sun goes down." (Narrated by
al-Tirmidhi; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb
wa'l-Tarheeb, no. 700).
And Allaah knows best.
