Virtues of Jumuah

Publisher: Jamiatul Ulama, Talimi Board, South Africa

About the book:

• A concise book regarding the background of the day of Jumu’ah as well as virtuous deeds and actions to do on this blessed day.
• Among the greatest favours of Allah Taala on this Ummat is the day of Jumuah. It is a very special and mubaarak day in the life of a Muslim. Allah Taala showers His special blessings, mercy and rahmat upon us on this great day. Every Muslim should take special care to reap the great rewards that Allah Taala has promised us on the day of Jumuah.
• Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم has mentioned, "Certainly Friday is the leader of all days. It is a day greater and more honoured by Allah Taala than the two Eids (Eidul-Adha and Eidul-Fitr). The father of all mankind, Hadhrat Aadam (alayhis salaam) was created on this day."
• Allah Taala had specified this day as a day of ibaadah (worship) for the previous nations. However, because of their ill fate, they disputed and differed with regards to it. The result of this dispute was that they were deprived of this great bounty and this Ummah has been favoured with it. The Jews set aside Saturday on the basis that Allah Taala had completed creating the entire universe prior to this day. The Christians set aside Sunday thinking that this is the day when Allah Taala commenced with the creation.
• The Muslims wholeheartedly accepted Allah Taalas decision and reserved the Jumuah as a day of worship. The day of Jumuah has great virtues and anyone who respects and reveres this great day will gain maximum blessings from Allah Taala. We have been commanded by Allah Taala to respect and revere the Shaaair (great signs) of Allah Taala and the day of of Jumuah is indeed amongst the great Shaaair of Islam.
