The Virtues of Friday
Friday (Jumu'ah) is the most virtuous day of the week in Islam. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Friday is the best of days. It was on this day that Hadrat Adam (peace be upon him) was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into Paradise, and the day of resurrection will also take place on this day." (Sahih Muslim)
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes du'a in it, his du'a will definitely be accepted." (Bukhari, Muslim)
The Importance of Friday Prayer
Friday prayer is personally obligatory upon every free, adult, sane Muslim male who is a resident. It has been established from the Quran, Hadith, and the consensus of the ummah. Allah Most High says:
"O you who believe! When the call for Friday prayer is made, hasten towards the remembrance of Allah Most High and leave all transactions. This is best for you if only you know." (Surah Al-Jumu'ah 62:9)
Etiquette of Friday (Adab)
- Make preparations from Thursday — clean clothes, apply perfume if available
- Perform ghusl (full bath) on Friday morning
- Wear the best clothing you possess and apply perfume
- Clip nails and use the miswaak
- Go early to the mosque — the earlier you go, the more reward you receive
- Recite Surah Al-Kahf on Friday for abundant light on the Day of Judgment
- Send abundant blessings (salawat) upon the Prophet ﷺ on Fridays
- Remain silent and attentive during the khutbah (sermon)
