Importance of Friday/Jumma

 Importance and Significance of Jumma in Islam

Imam Bukhari and Muslim reported that Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) had said, "We (Muslims) came last and yet we are the first on the day of judgment. They have received the books before us (meaning Torah and Injil). We have received the book after them (meaning the Qur’an). Friday was their day to be glorified. However, they disputed on that while Allah had told us Friday is the day to glorify. Thus they will follow us. The Jews glorify Saturday, and the Christians glorify Sunday."

 By Sheikh Amin Abu Anas

The Friday prayer (Juma’ah Salat) is very important for each Muslim, male and female,

because it is their weekly Salat and it is a blessing that Allah bestowed on the people of

Muhammad (SAW).

Also reported by Imam Muslim, Abo-Dawod, Al-Nesaii, and Al-Termithi, that Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) 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."

Rasulallah (P.B.U.H) is Reported to have said, “Recite Durood upon me in abundance on the day of Jummah since they are presented to me.” (Ibn Majah)
