Its Jumuah and

thats the adhan

Abi and the boys are off to the masjid for the
Jumuah prayer

Do you know why Jumuah is a special day for

Muslims?

Come with me

and learn a little about Jumuah and how to prepare

for the Jumuah prayer,
a very important part of the day

If you speak English,

you call the 6th day of the week,
1

Friday.
6

In Arabic,
the language of Islam,
the sixth day of the week is called . . .

Jumuah
7

The word Jumuah

comes from a word
which means
To gather

Muslims around the world

gather

every Jumuah at the masjid*.

*Masjid = mosque: a place of worship

Allah knows best why He chose Friday as this day of

gathering. . .

10

Some say that it is because this was the day that

creation was finished..*

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

11

Whatever the reason may be, there are some very

important events that have happened or will happen
on a Jumuah

12

Allah created Adam,

the first man,
on a Jumuah

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

13

Adam was placed in Jannah (Paradise) on a Friday.

(And was also taken out of Jannah on a Friday)

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

14

The Day of Judgment will be on a Friday

15

There is an hour on Jumuah where

no faithful servant asks Allah for something,
but Allah will give him what he asked for

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

16

Jewish people take Saturday

as their holy day . . .
Christians take Sunday
as their holy day . . .

17

These previous nations were informed about Friday

but chose different days.
Abu Hurayrah (radia Allahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but the first on the Day of Resurrection, though the former nations were given the
Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them, but they
differed about it. So, Allah gave us guidance to it, and all other people are coming after us: the Jews tomorrow and the
Christians the day after tomorrow.
(Muslim & Bukhari)

18

Why do we gather on Jumuah?

19

We gather together on Jumuah to worship Allah.

We listen to a khutbah (speech) given by the Imam to
remind us of Allah and about our worship to Him
(Allah).
20

How do we know that Jumuah is the day for this

gathering?
Allah tells us in the Quraan
O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the Salt on
Friday (Jumuah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allh and Salt
and leave off business.. That is better for you if you did but know!
62:9

21

As we are going to the masjid to pray on Jumuah, we

know that we must have wudhu
But there are other special preparations that we should make for Jumuah

22

It is recommended on Jumuah that we

23

1. Make Ghusl (take a bath)

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

24

2. Wear our best clothes

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

25

3. Apply perfume (oil)

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

26

4. Use miswak (a tooth stick)

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

27

5. Leave the house early

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

28

6. Sit close to the Imam

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

29

7. Listen

Without talking

*Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Tafsir Suratul Jumuah

30

When you are finished getting ready for Jumuah,

make your way to the masjid

(Whoever performs Ghusl

on the day of Jumu`ah,
leaves early,
walking not riding,
and sits close to the Imam
and listens without talking,
will earn the reward of fasting
and performing standing (in prayer)
for an entire year for every step he takes.)
(Muslim, Bukhari)
31

When the adhaan

for Jumuah is called,

32

We must leave off from

buying and selling

O you who believe (Muslims)!

When the call is proclaimed for the Salt on Friday,
come to the remembrance of Allh
and leave off business.
That is better for you if you did but know!

62:9
33

At the masjid,
the Imam will give two khutbahs (speeches)

reminding us about our worship to

Allah
34

Then we pray a prayer of two

rakaat..

35

When the prayer is over, we may go back to our

usual business . .

Then when the Salt is ended,

you may disperse through the land,
and seek the bounty of Allh,
and remember Allh much,
that you may be successful.
62:10
