Recommended Acts of Worship on Friday
There are many acts of worship which are prescribed for the Muslim to do on this day. These include:
1 โ€“ Salat al-Jumuโ€™ah (Friday prayer)
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
โ€œO you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salaah (prayer) on Friday (Jumuโ€˜ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumuโ€˜ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salaah (prayer)]
and leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if you did but know!โ€ [Al-Jumuโ€™ah 62:9]
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Zad al-Maad (1/376):
Friday prayer is one of the most important obligations in Islam, and one of the greatest gatherings of the Muslims. Gathering on Friday is more important and more obligatory than any other gathering apart from Arafah. Whoever neglects it, Allah will place a seal on his heart.
It was narrated from Abuโ€™l-Jaโ€™d al-Damari โ€“ who was a Companion of the Prophet ๏ทบ โ€“ that the Prophet said: โ€œWhoever neglects three Jumuโ€™ahs, Allah will place a seal on his heart.โ€ (Narrated by Abu Dawud, 1052; classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih Abi Dawud, 928)
It was narrated from โ€˜Abd-Allah ibn โ€˜Umar and Abu Hurayrah that they heard the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ say on the pulpit:
โ€œLet people stop neglecting Jumuโ€™ah, or Allah will place a seal on their hearts, then they will be among those who are neglectful.โ€
(Narrated by Muslim, 865)
2 โ€“ Making a lot of duโ€™aaโ€™
On this day there is a time when a personโ€™s Lord will answer his duโ€™a โ€“ by Allahโ€™s leave.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah ุฑุถูŠ ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุนู†ู‡ that the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ mentioned Friday and said: โ€œOn this day there is a time when no Muslim stands and prays, asking Allah for something, but Allah will grant him itโ€ โ€“
and he gestured with his hands to indicate how short that time is. (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 893; Muslim, 852)
3 โ€“ Reading Surat al-Kahf
It was narrated from Abu Saโ€™id al-Khduri that the Prophet ๏ทบ said: โ€œWhoever reads Surat al-Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays.โ€ (Narrated by al-Hakim; classed as sahih by al-Albani in Sahih al-Targhib, 836)
4 โ€“ Sending a lot of blessings upon the Prophet ๏ทบ.
It was narrated from Aws ibn Aws that the Prophet ๏ทบ said: โ€œThe best of your days is Friday. On that day Adam (peace be upon him) was created; on that day he died; on that day the Trumpet will be blown;
and on that day all of creation will swoon. So send a great deal of blessings upon me (i.e. on Friday), for your blessings will be shown to me.โ€ They said, โ€œO Messenger of Allah, how will our blessings upon you be shown to you when you have turned to dust?โ€
He said, โ€œAllah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets, peace be upon them.โ€ (Narrated by Abu Dawud, 1047; classed as sahih by Ibn al-Qayyim in his comments on Sunan Abi Dawud, 4/273; classed as sahih by al-Albani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 925.
He said in โ€˜Awn al-Maโ€™bud:
Friday is singled out because it is the best of days and the chosen day. So there is an advantage to sending blessings upon him on that day that is not present on any other day.
Along with these virtues and acts of worship, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade singling out Friday for fasting, or singling out the night of Friday for doing acts of worship that are not narrated in shareeโ€™ah.
