Prayers
Special rituals of Fridays
Do you know which day is the best among the days?
No doubt! It’s the very day in which all the Muslims gather in masjids for Jumua.
Prophet ﷺhad taught us about a particular timing on Fridays in which Allah never
neglects a person if he ask for something to Him. Everyone should come to masjid for
Jumua. It is not compulsory for travellers, patients and ladies. They just have to pray
ُ as usual.
ظ َهر
It is sunnah particularly on Friday, to use perfume, to take bath and to clean your
teeth. It is good to clip your nails on Fridays. It has special virtues to arrive early in
the masjid and to spend the time for Quran recitation and for prayers.
In the masjid
Prophet ﷺhad taught us that whoever sit and wait for the prayer in the masjid
after doing ablution is like the one who perform salah. It is virtuous to involve in
activities like saying dhikr, reciting quran and sitting in the masjid with the intention
of I’thiqaaf. Everyone should sit in swaff in masjid. Mu’addin will do the adhaan
when Qateeb enters the mimber by saying salam.
When he departs
سفَ َر َ اللﱠ ُه ﱠم إِ ْط ِو لَهُ ا ْلبُ ْع َد َو َه ّ ِو ْن
علَ ْي ِه ال ﱠ
O Allah, Shorten the distance for him and make the journey easy for him.''
َ َو ِإ ْن أ َ ْر،ار َح ْم َها
س ْلت َ َها ْ َسي ف َ فَ ِإ ْن أ َ ْم،ُ َو ِبكَ أ َ ْرفَعُه،ض ْعتُ َج ْن ِبي
ِ س ْكتَ نَ ْف َ س ِمكَ َر ِبّي َو ْ ِبا
صا ِل ِحي َن
ظ ِب ِه ِعبَاد ََك ال ﱠ ُ َ ِب َما ت َ ْحف،فَا ْحفَ ْظ َها
With Your name my Lord, I lay myself down; and with Your Name I rise. And if you
take my soul, have mercy on it, and if you release it, protect it as you protect your
righteous slaves.
It is also good to recite Surah Al Fatiha, Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq, and Annaas along with
Aayathul Qursi. Then wipe your hands all over your body (as much as you can reach,
beginning with the head and the face, then the entire front of your body).
