Jummah is known as Friday in English Calendar is considered the holiest day of the week in the Islamic Calendar.

On this day, many Muslims around the world gathered in mosques for prayer. Many Muslims spend the day with their family, attend prayer, and rest on this day, however, habits vary. Commercial activity always resumes following Friday prayers, although most individuals in Muslim-majority nations take the day off.

Crowded cities are frequently vacant and silent until the prayers when filling up with people having fun. Quran and Hadith show a strong emphasis on the prayer of Jummah. What does Quran says about Jummah is mentioned in this article below,

dua to recite after jumma prayer

  • ”O Allah, I am resorting to You with my needs, and I am putting in Your presence my poverty, my indigence, and my deprivation. Verily, I hope for Your forgiveness more than I rely on my deeds. Indeed, Your forgiveness and Your mercy are more inclusive than my sins are. So, (please) embark on settling all my needs out of Your power over them, out of the easiness for You to do that, and out of my urgent need for that. Verily, I have not gained any good thing save from You and none could ever repel evil from me save You. I hope for none to stand for me in my affairs of this world and the Next World and on the day of my poverty, when people will leave me alone in my hole (i.e. grave) and I will then confess my sins before You, except You.” (Al Quran)

Religious Significance of Jummah

The importance of Friday as a hallowed day of prayer is mentioned in the Qur’an in a chapter called “Al-Jumah,” which means “the day of assemblage,” and is also the Arabic term for Friday. “O you who believe!” it says.

When invited to congregational (Friday) prayer, rush to God’s memory and abandon the trade. That would be better for you if you only knew.” This verse of the Quran mentions the importance of Jummah and the Jummah prayer.

Many Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also show the importance of Jummah prayer.

  • According to Abu Huraira, Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) said: “When any of you performs prayer after Jumu’a, he should observe four rak’ahs”. (The term minimum is not documented in the hadith delivered by Jarir).
  • Suhail narrated on Abu Huraira’s authority that the Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) said: When you observe prayer after (the two required raklabs) of Jumu’a, you should observe four rak’ahs (and ‘Amr in his narration has added that Ibn Idris stated this on the authority of Suhail): If you are in a hurry, you should do two rak’ahs at the mosque and two when you come home (to your house).

These Hadiths show the importance of Jummah prayer. Many caliphs organize the Jummah prayers by themselves. They usually stop their work and meetings on Jummah day and pray and after prayer, they resume their work.
