In the eyes of Islam, Holy Friday is of immense importance. Friday is called the weekly Eid day. So it is important to observe this day properly. Friday prayer is an important worship.
Almost all Muslims perform Friday prayers. But during this namaz we do something wrong, which should not be done at all.
Going to Juma without being clean
It is very important to take a bath before going to the Friday prayer. Many people are so busy on this day that they perform some form of Jumu’ar Farz two rakats and leave. But on the authority of Abu Saeed Khudri (RA), I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “Ghusl is wajib (necessary) for every adult on Friday.” And will do miswak and use perfume if possible. ’ (Bukhari, Hadith: 880, Muslim, Hadith: 846)
Being late to the mosque
Jumuah prayer is not enough to perform only two rakat prayers. It is also important to listen to the Friday sermon. In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA), the Prophet (PBUH) said, ‘Whoever performs ablution on Friday like Janabat (after coitus) and comes for prayer, it is as if he sacrificed a camel. A person who reaches the second stage is like sacrificing a cow. He who reaches the third stage, sacrifices a horned Dumba. He who has reached the fourth stage is like sacrificing a chicken. The one who reached the fifth stage, it was as if he had sacrificed an egg. (Bukhari, Hadith: 881)
Doing other things during Friday prayers
It is forbidden to do any other work during the Friday prayer. It is important to go to the mosque as soon as possible. As soon as the first call of Jumu’ah is heard, business or other work should be stopped or there should be a break for prayer. On the authority of Yahya Ibn Said (RA), Aisha (RA) said, People used to do their own work. When they went for Jumma after noon, they would leave in that condition. So they were told, if you had better take bath… (Bukhari, Hadith: 903, Muslim, Hadith: 847)
Not listening to the sermon with attention
Listening to the sermon is an important part of the Friday prayer. So it is important to listen to the sermon properly. However, if the sound of the sermon cannot be heard due to the number of worshipers or for any other reason, it is customary to remain silent.
In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA), Rasulullah (SAW) said, ‘Whoever comes to Friday prayer with good ablution and listens to the sermon in silence, then his sins are forgiven until the next Friday and three additional days. And whoever touches the pebble (unnecessarily) has done a futile, void, abominable and reprehensible act. (Muslim, Hadith: 1873)
Speaking during the sermon
It is obligatory to listen to the sermon. The Prophet (PBUH) forbade talking during the sermon. In a hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA), the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘On Friday, when you tell the worshiper next to you to be quiet, while the Imam is delivering the sermon, then you have said a useless thing. (Bukhari, Hadith: 934, Muslim, Hadith: 851)
If someone speaks during the sermon, he should not be asked to be quiet. That is, I want to keep my mouth completely closed during the sermon. May Allah Ta’ala grant us Tawfiq to perform Friday prayers correctly.
