Jumma Prayer: Why Muslims select Friday to pay special Namaaz
Share:

Muslims pray daily and not only on Fridays. However, particularly on Fridays, they are called for a special gathering prayer at noon in the mosque, called Jumaa prayer. Friday and the Friday prayer are among the greatest principles and signs of Islam. Since Friday prayer is performed every week, it is of great importance for Muslims because it makes them come together on a festival day like Eid. During this mosque gathering, Muslims listen to a religious sermon from the mosque leader (known as Imam), followed by a special Friday noon prayer.

Friday Prayer is an occasion for the assembly of the Muslims of a whole city or a town. It gives them an opportunity to meet together to discuss and solve their individual as well as community problems. Getting together once a week develops unity, co-operation and cohesiveness among Muslims. The logic that Friday Prayer is a demonstration of equality is also reasonable. It gives the Imam a chance to advise all Muslims at the same time on urgent matters that face them. The Imam's sermon gives them guidance in Islamic teachings. Friday Prayer is an obligatory Prayer for every adult male Muslim. There are two Adhans for Friday Prayer. The first Athan is recited when the sun begins to decline and the second is recited just before the Imam stands up before the congregation to deliver his sermon.

Among the seven days of the week, Friday is the day when Allah's special mercies are granted. It is a day of gathering for the Muslims when rewards are increased. Many great events took place on this day. Let's take a look at some more facts that highlight the importance of Jummah… It was the teaching of the Prophet to venerate this day, honour it and single it out for special acts of worship that belong exclusively to this day. The Prophet used to recite two specific soorahs (chapters) in the Fajr prayer on Friday because they refer to what happened and will happen on that day, for they speak of the creation of Adam, the resurrection and the gathering of mankind, all of which happened or will happen on a Friday.
