The Importance of Yawm ul Jumuah (Friday)


v Friday is the best day of the week.
v Imam Muslim, Abu Dawud, Al-Nisai, and Al-Tirmidhi, that Rasoolillah (SAW) had said, "The best day during which the sun have risen is Friday. It is the Day Adam was created. It is the day when Adam entered paradise and also when he was taken out from it. It is also the day on which the day of judgment takes place."
v Final Day on the earth, will only fall on the day of Jumuah (Muslim)

Allah answers prayers
As reported by Imam Bukhari,
"There's an hour, on the day of al-jumuah, during which Allah answers the prayers and supplications. Most scholars agree that this hour is the last hour of the day, after the Salatul Asr,
Ask of Allah in the last hour after the Asr prayer." (Naas'i
)

Actions to be performed on Jumuah
Leave off Business When Call (Adhan ) is said
v Men are obligated to participate in Friday Prayer. Allah (SWT) said in Surah Al-Jumauah, (verse 9), what can be translated as,
"O' you who believe! When the call is proclaimed to Prayer on Friday hasten earnestly to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off business. That is best for you if you but knew. "
Bath and Wear Best Cloth
v Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "Every Muslim is obligated to wash on Fridays and wear his best cloth. Also, he should use perfume if he has any."

Warning of Prophet Muhammed pbuh
Leaving Three Jumuahs
v Prophet (SAW) said, "Who ever does not attend three Friday prayers, (without a valid excuse) Allah will set a seal on his heart"
v Rasoolillah (SAW) said about people who do not attend Friday Prayer, "I wanted to ask a man to lead people in the prayer so that I may go and burn houses of men who did not attend the Friday Prayer with us"
Speak not during Khutbah
v Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "If you told your friend to pay attention on Friday while the Imam is delivering the speech then you committed a sin of vain talk."

Difference between Jews and Christians
Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.) said:
Those before us were misled from al-Jumuah. The Jews had Saturday and the Christians had Sunday.Then Allah guided us to al-Jumuah, preceding Saturday and Sunday, as will be the case with the Muslims on the Final Day, when they will precede the Jews and Christians.
We are the last of the People in the world and the first to be dealt with on the day of Judgement." (Muslim)
