The Establishing of Jumu’ah in Madinah Munawwarah
In the same year (the 12th year of nubuwwah), Hazrat As’ad bin Zuraarah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) established Jumu’ah in Madinah Munawwarah.
When Hazrat As’ad (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) observed that the Jews and Christians have a special day of the week in which they congregate; the Jews on Saturday and the Christians on Sunday, then he reflected that the Muslims should also stipulate a day of the week to congregate, remember Allah Ta‘ala, express their shukr (appreciation) before Him, perform salaah and worship Him.
