THE IMPORTANT OF JUM'AH PRAY
Jum’ah: The Friday Prayer
“O Believers! When the call to prayer is made on the day of congregation, hurry towards the reminder of God and leave off your business––that is better for you, if only you knew!”

JUM'AH PRAYER
The Holy Quran and the Hadith speak highly of the blessings of Jumu‘ah Prayer. If a Muslim spends Friday in the remembrance of God Almighty, supplicating before his Lord, he is abundantly rewarded by Allah.
Friday Prayer is an occasion for the assembly of the Muslims of a whole city or a town. In a large city, Friday Prayer can be offered in more than one place for the convenience of the Muslim community.
Salatul-Jumu‘ah or Friday Prayer is offered in congregation. It is offered in place of Zuhr Prayer. Each week on Friday, Muslims are required to take a bath, dress in their best clean clothes, wear perfume and assemble in the mosque for Friday Prayer.
Muslims are required to listen to the sermon attentively. Any type of conversation during the sermon is prohibited. After the Imam has delivered the second part of the sermon, the Iqamah is recited and the Imam leads the congregational two Rak‘at of Jumu‘ah Prayer.

Ibn Maajah narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Whoever builds a
mosque for the sake of Allah, like a sparrow’s nest or even smaller, Allaah will build for him a
house in Paradise.”
