The Sunnahs of Friday

 The Sunnah's of Friday

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the MercifulSunnah of Friday
Below are few of the Sunnah’s of Friday.

 

Abu Hurraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Pbuh) said: 

( The five daily prayers, and from one Jummah to the next, are an expiation for whatever sins come

 in between, so long as one does not commit any major sin.) 

 (Muslim, 233)

1.
Taking a shower on Friday (Ghusul)

It was narrated from Abu Hurraira that the Prophet (Pbuh) said:
''Whoever does Ghusl then comes to Jummah, and prays as much as Allah decrees for him, then listens attentively until the khutbah is over, then prays with him (the imam), will be forgiven for (his sins) between that and the next Jummah and three more days. '' 

(Muslim, 857)

2.

Wearing of clean and nice clothes

(Abu Dawood, Chapter of Ghusl on the day of Jummah)

 

3.
To put Attar & Miswaak on Friday

(it can also be done on regular days)

On one Friday, Rasulallah said:
"O Muslims! Allah Ta'ala has made this day a day of Eid. So have a bath on this day, whoever has perfume should apply it, and use the Miswaak.“
(Ibn Majah)

4.

Arriving well before time in the masjid

To proceed early as possible to the Masjid for Jummah 

Abu Hurraira (Ra) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Pbuh) said:
    “Whoever does Ghusl on Friday like Ghusl for janaabah, then goes to the prayer (in the first hour, i.e., early), it is as if he sacrificed a camel. Whoever goes in the second hour, it is as if he sacrificed a cow; whoever goes in the third hour, it is as if he sacrificed a horned ram; whoever goes in the fourth hour, it is as if he sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour it is as if he offered an egg. When the imam comes out, the angels come to listen to the khutbah.” 

(Bukhari, 814 and Muslim, 850)

5.
Reciting Surah Kahf

 There is a great reward for a person who recites Surah Kahaf on Friday, anyone who recites it on Jumuah will be bestowed with a Noor from under the Throne of Allah Almighty, which will extend from sky to earth and will help the person who recites the surah on the day of Qayyamah. Moreover, the minor sins committed between the two Jumuahs are also forgiven by read Surah Kahaf on Friday. Thus, people who do Quran teaching must set Surah Kahaf aside for the day of Jumuah.

6.

Multiply the prayer for the Prophet Salla Allah Alayhi Wa Sallam
The hadith of Prophet (PBUH) says,

 “Recite Durood upon me in abundance on the day of Jumua’h since they are presented to me.”

7.

Making abundant dua on Jummah
Rasulallah (Pbuh) said: 

“There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be accepted.” (Bukhari, Muslim)

&

In short, for a true Muslim it is imperative that he or she reveres the day of Jummah as a special day and act upon as much sunnahs of Prophet (PBUH) as much possible. Moreover, besides other Sunnahs, a Muslim must ensure that he dresses neat and clean on Jumuah
