1. Introduction: Importance of Jumma in Islam

Jumma, or Friday, holds a special position in Islam. It is not just the end of the working week, but a day filled with spiritual blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ called it the “Eid of the week”, a day where Muslims gather for prayer, reflection, and remembrance of Allah.

🌙 Every Jumma is an opportunity to renew faith, seek forgiveness, and strengthen family and community ties.

2. Quranic Verses About Jumma

Allah Ta’ala says in the Qur’an:

“O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the prayer on Friday, hasten earnestly to the remembrance of Allah and leave off business. That is best for you if you only knew.”
(Surah Al-Jumu’ah 62:9)

This ayah highlights that the Friday prayer is not optional but obligatory, and worldly matters must be left aside for worship.

“Indeed, the remembrance of Allah is greater.”
(Surah Al-Ankabut 29:45)

3. Hadith on the Virtues of Friday

  • “The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On it, Adam was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise, on it he was expelled, and the Last Hour will take place on no day other than Friday.” (Sahih Muslim 854)
  • “On Friday, there is an hour when no Muslim slave stands in prayer and asks Allah for something but He will give it to him.” (Bukhari & Muslim)

  • Unity: Muslims gather in congregation, strengthening brotherhood and sisterhood.

5. Jumma Prayer (Salat al-Jumu’ah) Explained

The Friday prayer is a weekly congregational prayer replacing Zuhr.

  • Two Khutbahs (sermons) are delivered by the Imam.
  • Two rak’ahs of prayer are performed in congregation.
