Discover the significance of Friday in Islam and how to make the most of this blessed day.
Friday (Jummah) holds a special place in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best day on which the sun rises is Friday."
On this day, Muslims are obligated to attend the Jummah prayer, which replaces the Dhuhr prayer. The prayer is preceded by a khutbah (sermon) that provides guidance and reminds the congregation of their duties.
There are many recommended acts for Friday, including taking a bath, wearing clean clothes, applying perfume, arriving early at the masjid, and sending abundant blessings upon the Prophet.
There is an hour on Friday when prayers are more likely to be accepted. While scholars differ on the exact time, many believe it is the last hour before Maghrib.
Make the most of this blessed day by increasing your worship, reading Surah Al-Kahf, and spending quality time with family.
