Al Jumma Mubarak

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

.

O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off business; that is better for you, if you know. (Qur'an 62:9)

فَإِذَا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَانتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَابْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

And when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful. (Qur'an 62:10)

Jumu'ah Salaat is FARZ and more emphasis has been laid on it than on Zohar. There is no Zohar Farz Salaat on Friday. The Jumu'ah salaat has been fixed in place of Zohar Salaat.

Jumu'ah Salaat is FARZ on all FREE, MAJOR, SANE, HEALTHY and MUQEEM MEN.

It is NOT Farz on MINOR CHILDREN, SLAVES, MAD, SICK and BLIND PERSONS, MUSAFIRS, WOMEN and those who have some VALID EXCUSE e.g. fear of an enemy or very heavy hard rain. They should perform their ZOHAR Salaat instead.

Abu Hurayrah reported that Muhammad said: "When it is Friday, the angels stand at every door of the mosque and record the people in order of arrival, and when the Imam sits on the pulpit for delivering the sermon, khutba, they fold up their sheets and listen to the mention of Allah, the speech."

A person who goes to Friday prayer is said to have his sins between that Friday and last forgiven.

Things not allowed during the khutba

1. Talking.
2. Offering SUNNAT and NAFL Salaat.
3. Eating.
4. Drinking.
5. To reply to any TALK.
6. Reciting the QURAAN SHARIF, etc.

All those things, which DISTURB the Khutba, become MAKROOH from the minute the Imam prepares to deliver the Khutba.
