Jummah Is Like an Eid For Momineen

Jummah is the best day of the week. This day is full of blessings. Muslims celebrated two Eid in a year. Rest of these celebrations the celebration of Jummah are there in Islamic society. Jummah is just an Eid for Momineen. In many Ahadith it is said that Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) celebrated this day like an Eid.  It is a blessed day for Momineen. In a Hadith it is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-

“Jummah is the best of days. It was on this day that Prophet Adam (AS) was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into Jannah, it was on this day that he was removed from Jannah (which is a precursor for human existence in this universe, and Alhamdulillah is a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will also be evidenced on this day.”

In another Hadith which is narrated by Hazrat Abu Hurrairah it is said that:-

“We (Muslims) are Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Jummah) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they differed about it. So ALLAH gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in this respect: the Jews’ the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians’ (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday).”
How should we celebrate the Day of Jummah?

In Quran E Hakeem the command is given that what we should do on that Day of Jummah. In Surat Al-Jumu`ah it is said by Allah Almighty that:-

“O those who have believed! When the call to Prayer is proclaimed on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trade. That is better for you if you but knew.”

·        So the first think which we should do on the day of Jummah is that we listen the Azaan for Jummah prayer we should leave our work and be prepared for Jummah’s prayer.
·        To take bath on the day of Jummah and use Miswak is Sunnat. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that :-

O Muslims! ALLAH SWT has made this day a day of Eid. So take bath on this day, whoever has perfume should apply it, and use the miswaak.”

·         Men should try to go in mosque in early hours. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-
Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah’s cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg. When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba.”


·         To recite Darood E Pak is very much important. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-
“Recite Durood upon me in abundance on the day of Jummah since they are presented to me.”

·         We should recite Surah e Al kahf on the day of jummah. All the sins between the two days will be forgiven. It is said by Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) that:-
“One who memorizes the first ten verses of Surah Kahf will be secure against the Dajjal”

These are some characteristics of the Day of Jummah. So celebrate this Day as an Eid because for Momin that day is Eid in which he does a lot of worship to please Allah Almighty.
