The Seriousness Of Jummah In Islam
For the vast majority, Friday speaks to the start of the weekend. To Muslims, on the other hand, Fridays mean much more. In the Islamic connection, Friday or Jummah is the heavenly day. Not only Friday is a holy day for the Muslims on which thousands of people gather on one place to kneel down before Allah Almighty, but it is also accepted to have different paragons of virtues. In every mosque around the globe, Muslims accumulate for the Jummah prayer, as directed in the accompanying verses of the Quran:
“O ye who accept, when the call is declared to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), rush truly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off worldly matters and activity, that is best for you if ye yet knew. And when the Prayer is done, then may ye scatter through the area, and look for of the Bounty of Allah: and commemorate the Praises of Allah (and without spell) that ye might prosper (Chapter 62, Verse 9 and 10)
Unalike to the Jewish Sabbath, for instance, Friday is a sacred day, however, Muslims still proceed with their daily routine as this verse shows. This prayer is in the spot of the afternoon prayer (the second of the five prayers) and incorporates a Khutbah, or a sermon. The Khutbah is given in the dialect of most of the attendees at the mosque. Muslim men are obliged to go to the Jummah prayer. In the United States that implies that Muslim men properly divide the time of different activities and make sure they do not miss going to mosque. Whereas in Muslim nations, Friday is given an off.
This is pretty much known to all the Muslims that Islams give too much importance to cleanliness and purity. And especially when a man takes shower on Friday, similar to the shower for formal purity, and after that go to the mosque, he is similar to one who offers a camel as an oblation to look for the Pleasure of Allah. Then he who cleans himself at the second hour is similar to one who offers a cow to win the Pleasure of Allah. Then the one who takes a shower at the third hour is similar to one who presents a ram with horns as a sacrifice and he who takes a bath at the fourth hour is similar to one who offers a hen and at last he who finally purifies himself at the fifth hour is similar to one who offers an egg. Moreover, when the Imam rises the podium, the holy messengers of Allah (who note the names of the individuals who go to the mosque before the arrival of the Imam) close their record so as to listen to the Khutbah.
