1. That he is the best of days.
From Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu from the Prophet Shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam he said,
The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise, on it he was expelled from it, and the Hour will not be established except on Friday
" The best day on which the sun rises (a clear day) is Friday, (because) on this day Adam was created, this day Adam was put into heaven and expelled from it, and the Day of Judgment will not come except on Friday 'at .” (Muslim HR).
2. Today contains the obligation of Friday prayers
The obligation to pray Friday is the biggest Islamic obligation that is emphasized the most and the greatest gathering of Muslims. Whoever leaves him (performing Friday prayers) because he belittles him, Allah will close his heart as in the authentic hadith narrated by Muslim.
3. There is a time when people pray during which it is accepted .
From Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu 'anhu said, the Messenger of Allah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said,
There is an hour in Friday that does not coincide with a Muslim servant while he is standing praying, asking God for something, but He will give it to him
" Indeed on this Friday, there is a time when a Muslim does not meet him (Friday) while he is standing praying asking Allah for something, but Allah will give him ." ( Muttafaq 'alaihi )
Ibnul Qayyim said after mentioning the existence of a dispute regarding the determination of this time specification, "The most rajih (strong) opinions are two opinions which are both contained in a hadith which is thabit (shahih). Namely, the first opinion, that (the time of the ijabah ) starts from the sitting of the imam until the prayer is performed, as in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet Shallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam said,
It is between the time when the imam sits until the prayer is over
"(The time of the ijabah) is between the sitting of the imam until the prayer is performed ." (Muslim HR).
The second opinion, namely after the time of 'Asr. And these are the two strongest opinions. ( Zadul Ma'ad I/389-390).
4. Giving charity in it is better than giving charity on other days.
Ibnul Qayyim said, "Giving charity on Fridays compared to other days of the week, is like giving charity in Ramadan compared to other months."
And in the hadith of Ka'ab (it was said),
Charity during it is greater than charity on all days
" Giving charity in it is greater (reward) than giving charity on other days ." (sahih mauquf hadith but has the rule of marfu ').
5. It is the day when Allah Azza wa Jalla glorifies in it His trustees the believers in heaven.
From Anas bin Malik radhiyallahu 'anhu , he said about the words of Allah Azza wa Jalla ,
((And we have more))
" And on our side there is an addition ." (QS Qaf, 35)
He said, " Allah glorifies them every Friday ."
6. It is the day of 'Ied (celebration) which is repeated every week.
dir="ltr">From Ibn 'Abbas radhiyallahu 'anhuma said, Rasulullah Shallallahu 'alaihi wa Salam said,
This is a feast day that God has made for the Muslims, so whoever comes on Friday should take a bath...
" Indeed today is the day of 'Id that Allah has made for the Muslims, whoever finds Friday should take a bath ..." (HR Ibnu Majah in Sahih at-Targhib I/298).
7. It is the day that wipes out sins.
From Salman, he said, the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, said,
A man does not take a bath on Friday and purifies himself as much as he can of purification and applies some of his oil or touches the perfume of his house, then goes out and does not separate between two people, then prays what is written for him and then listens when the imam speaks, but he will be forgiven for what happened between him and the next Friday.
" There is no servant who takes a bath on Friday and purifies himself with the best purification, then he oils his hair or perfumes himself with perfume, then he goes out (performs the Friday prayer) and does not separate two people (who are sitting), then he performs the prayer that is obligatory on him and he remains silent when the Imam preaches, but all his sins will be forgiven between this Friday and the next Friday ." (HR Bukhari).
8. People who walk to perform Friday prayers, at every step of his feet there is a reward for fasting and praying for a year.
According to the hadith of Aus bin Aus , may Allah be pleased with him, he said, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
Whoever washes and performs ghusl on Friday, gets up early and innovates, and draws closer to the imam and listens carefully, for every step he takes, he will fast for a year and pray for it, and that is easy for God.
" Whoever bathes and performs ablution on Friday, then he hastens and rushes (for prayer), then he approaches the imam and remains silent, then for every step he takes (there is a reward) of fasting and prayer for a year, and who thus this is something easy for Allah ." (HR Ahmad and Ashhabus Sunnan , authenticated by Ibn Khuzaimah).
Allahu Akbar ! Every step taken towards Friday prayers is worth a year of fasting and praying?!
Where are the people who want to hurry to get to this greatness?! Where are the people who want this boon?!
((This is the bounty of God, He gives it to whom He wills, and God is the Possessor of great bounty))
" That is God's gift, He gives it to whomever He wants and God has a great gift ." (QS al-Hadiid, 21)
9. Jahannam is lit -that is, the fire is inflamed - every day of the week except on Friday.
Which is (a form of) glorification of this great day. (See Zaadul Ma'ad I/387).
10. Dying on Friday or its night is a sign of husnul khotimah .
Where the person who died on this day will be safe from the torment of the grave and from the questioning of two Angels. From Ibnu 'Amr , may God be pleased with him, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said,
There is no Muslim who dies on Friday or Friday night but that God Almighty will protect him from the trial of the grave
" No Muslim dies on Friday or on Friday night, unless Allah Ta'ala protects him from the fitnah of the grave ." (R Ahmad and Turmudi, authenticated by al-Albani).
