~ VIRTUES OF FRIDAY PRAYER ~

Allah, the Exalted, says:

"O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew!"

"Then when the (Jumu`ah) Salat is ended, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah (by working), and remember Allah much: that you may be successful." (Al-Qur'an: Surah-62 Al-Jumuah ~ Ayah 9-10)

The Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him) said:

"The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On that day Adam was created, he was admitted to Jannah, and he was expelled therefrom.''
[HdithMuslim] .

"If a man takes bath on Friday, (or) purifies himself as much as he can with Wudu', oils his hair, applies whatever perfume available in his house, sets forth for the mosque, does not separate two people (to make a seat for himself), performs Salat what is prescribed for him, remains silent when the Imam speaks, his (minor) sins between that Friday and the following Friday will be forgiven."
[Hadith-Al-Bukhari] .

"A person who leaves 3 Friday prayers consecutively, Allah puts a seal on his heart."
(Hadith-Ahmad, Tirmizi, abu Dawud).
