All praise is due to Allah and May His choicest salutations continue to

descend upon ourLeaderand MasterMuhammad .

riday serves as the weekly eid for the Muslim community

throughout the world. It is a day that reinforces the

brotherhood of the community, it provides a sense of

belonging, it manifests the believer's unreserved submission when he

hastens to prayer in the midst of his mundane activities, it accords the

believer a spiritual retreat and demonstrates the pre -eminent position

of this Ummah. The Friday lecture is a platform to introspect, motivate,

educate and guide the Ummah. It is meant to galvanize the Ummah into

action.

The best day that the sun has ever shone

over is Friday- It was on this day that Adam

was created It was on this day that he

descended to earth- it was on this day that

his was excepted He also passed

away on a Friday- The day of will

also take place on a Friday, There is nocreation besides man and jinn except that

they out of awe expect to hear the blowing

of the trumpet from the time the sun rises

In it is a moment wherein no Muslim slave

is found praying except that his will be

accepted. (Muslim)

It is a day that affirms man as the

most sublime creation of Allah

It

is a day casts our thoughts to our

original and permanent abode in Jannah

It is day that offers man

enormous hope in the mercy of Allah

If life on earth began on

this day it will cease to on this day

Allah is willing to give to those willing to

ask

A learned person from among the Jews saidto Umar : In the Quran you people read

a certain verse; if that verse had been

revealed to us, we would have celebrated

that day annually. Umar asked, Which verse is that? The man

replied:

(Quran

5:3) Umar said: Verily I remember the day and the place where this

verse was revealed. It was already a double celebration for us. Firstly it

was Friday-a day of Eid (celebration) for all Muslims and secondly, it

was the day of Arafat the most important day of the Hajj.

Abu Hurairah reports: We are the last Ummah (in terms of the time

line) yet we will be the first on the day of qiymah despite the fact that

they have been given the Book before us and we have received the Book

after them. Just as this was the original day made obligatory on them-

But they disputed therein- So Allah guided us to it- and rest of man will

follows us in celebrating the day The Jews on Saturday and the

Christians on Sunday.

We are the last to appear but lead every other

faith in celebrating the 'big day' of the week

If we do not value the blessings we enjoy

Allah may take it away from us just as He deprived the Jews and

Christians of this great favour.

The five daily Salaat, one Jummah Salaah till the next Jummah Salaah

and one Ramadhan till the next Ramadhan are all expiations for the time

between them provided that major sins are abstained from. (Muslim)

Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can,

then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house,

then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two

persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah

has) written for him and then remains

silent while the Imam is delivering the

Khutba, his sins in-between the present and

the last Friday would be forgiven.

(Bukhari)

Any person who takes a bath on Friday

like the bath of Janaba and then goes for theprayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if

he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause);

and whoever goes in the second hour it is

as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever

goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had

sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in

the fourth hour, then it is as if he had

sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the

fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an

egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts

delivering the Khutba), the angels present

themselves to listen to the Khutba.

(Bukhari)

He

who recites Surah Al Kahf on a Friday, Allah

will provide him with light from one Friday

to the next Friday. (Nasai)

Recite

Durood upon me in abundance on the day

of Jummah since they are presented to me.

(Ibn Majah)

"There is such an

hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes

dua in it, his dua will definitely be

accepted. (Bukhari, Muslim)

There is no Muslim

who dies during the day of Friday or the

night of Friday but Allah will protect him

from the trial of the grave. (Tirmidhi)

May Allah Ta'la give us the opportunity to value and appreciate our

special day of the week.

O You who believe! When the call is given to the prayer of the day of

Jummah then hasten towards the remembrance of Allah and leave

all buying and selling. (62:9)

My Favor upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.
