All praise is due to Allah and May His choicest salutations continue to
descend upon ourLeaderand MasterMuhammad .
riday serves as the weekly eid for the Muslim community
throughout the world. It is a day that reinforces the
brotherhood of the community, it provides a sense of
belonging, it manifests the believer's unreserved submission when he
hastens to prayer in the midst of his mundane activities, it accords the
believer a spiritual retreat and demonstrates the pre -eminent position
of this Ummah. The Friday lecture is a platform to introspect, motivate,
educate and guide the Ummah. It is meant to galvanize the Ummah into
action.
The best day that the sun has ever shone
over is Friday- It was on this day that Adam
was created It was on this day that he
descended to earth- it was on this day that
his was excepted He also passed
away on a Friday- The day of will
also take place on a Friday, There is nocreation besides man and jinn except that
they out of awe expect to hear the blowing
of the trumpet from the time the sun rises
In it is a moment wherein no Muslim slave
is found praying except that his will be
accepted. (Muslim)
It is a day that affirms man as the
most sublime creation of Allah
It
is a day casts our thoughts to our
original and permanent abode in Jannah
It is day that offers man
enormous hope in the mercy of Allah
If life on earth began on
this day it will cease to on this day
Allah is willing to give to those willing to
ask
A learned person from among the Jews saidto Umar : In the Quran you people read
a certain verse; if that verse had been
revealed to us, we would have celebrated
that day annually. Umar asked, Which verse is that? The man
replied:
(Quran
5:3) Umar said: Verily I remember the day and the place where this
verse was revealed. It was already a double celebration for us. Firstly it
was Friday-a day of Eid (celebration) for all Muslims and secondly, it
was the day of Arafat the most important day of the Hajj.
Abu Hurairah reports: We are the last Ummah (in terms of the time
line) yet we will be the first on the day of qiymah despite the fact that
they have been given the Book before us and we have received the Book
after them. Just as this was the original day made obligatory on them-
But they disputed therein- So Allah guided us to it- and rest of man will
follows us in celebrating the day The Jews on Saturday and the
Christians on Sunday.
We are the last to appear but lead every other
faith in celebrating the 'big day' of the week
If we do not value the blessings we enjoy
Allah may take it away from us just as He deprived the Jews and
Christians of this great favour.
The five daily Salaat, one Jummah Salaah till the next Jummah Salaah
and one Ramadhan till the next Ramadhan are all expiations for the time
between them provided that major sins are abstained from. (Muslim)
Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can,
then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house,
then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two
persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah
has) written for him and then remains
silent while the Imam is delivering the
Khutba, his sins in-between the present and
the last Friday would be forgiven.
(Bukhari)
Any person who takes a bath on Friday
like the bath of Janaba and then goes for theprayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if
he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause);
and whoever goes in the second hour it is
as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever
goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had
sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in
the fourth hour, then it is as if he had
sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the
fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an
egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts
delivering the Khutba), the angels present
themselves to listen to the Khutba.
(Bukhari)
He
who recites Surah Al Kahf on a Friday, Allah
will provide him with light from one Friday
to the next Friday. (Nasai)
Recite
Durood upon me in abundance on the day
of Jummah since they are presented to me.
(Ibn Majah)
"There is such an
hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes
dua in it, his dua will definitely be
accepted. (Bukhari, Muslim)
There is no Muslim
who dies during the day of Friday or the
night of Friday but Allah will protect him
from the trial of the grave. (Tirmidhi)
May Allah Ta'la give us the opportunity to value and appreciate our
special day of the week.

O You who believe! When the call is given to the prayer of the day of
Jummah then hasten towards the remembrance of Allah and leave
all buying and selling. (62:9)
This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed
My Favor upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.
