Friday prayer has special significance in Islam. It is made obligatory for Muslim men to attend Friday prayer, which includes listening to two sermons, if certain conditions are met like being an adult male resident in the community. Key aspects of Friday prayer include listening to two sermons between the Zuhr prayer times, which must praise Allah, send blessings upon the Prophet, enjoin good and recite Quran. Those attending early are rewarded more. It is sunnah to arrive early, bathe, wear nice clothes and trim nails before attending.

1. FIQH OF SALAH
The Friday Prayers

2. Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) as saying: We
who are the last shall be the first on the
Day of Resurrection, except that every
Ummah was given the Book before us and
we were given it after them. It was this
day which Allah prescribed for us and
guided us to it and the people came after
us with regard to it, the Jews observing the
next day and the Christians the day
following that.

special, it has its own merits. Refer to following
hadith:

5. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s
Messenger (PBUH) said, “The best day on
which the sun rises is Friday; on it Adam
(AS) was created; and on it, he
descended on earth; and on it, his
repentance was accepted; and on it, he
died; and on it, the Hour will be
established…..”

the angels stand at every door of the mosque
and record the people in the order of their
arrival, and when the Imam sits (on the pulpit for
delivering the sermon) they fold up their sheets
(manuscripts of the Qur’an) and listen to the
mention (of Allah). And he who comes early is
like one who offers a she-camel as a sacrifice,
the next like one who offers a cow, the next a
ram, the next a hen, the next an egg.
