Sunnats of Jumu'ah (4)
9. If possible, walk to the musjid for Jumu’ah Salaah. For every step taken, you will receive the reward of one year’s fasting and Tahajjud.
Hazrat Aws bin Aws Thaqafi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) says, “I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mention, ‘The one who performs ghusl on the day of Jumu’ah and proceeds early to the musjid by walking, and he does not go via a conveyance, and he sits near the imaam and attentively listens to the khutbah, and does not engage in any vain activity, for him will be the reward of one year’s fasting and standing in Tahajjud for every step he takes while walking to the musjid.’” [1]
1. Recite Surah Dukhaan on Thursday night.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who recites Surah Haa-meem Ad-Dukhaan on the night of Jumu’ah (i.e. Thursday night), his sins will be forgiven.” [1]
Forgiveness of Sins Through Performing Jumu’ah
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The sins committed between two Jumu’ahs, provided they are not major sins, will be forgiven by Allah Ta‘ala (upon the performance of both Jumu’ahs).” [1]
The day of Jumu’ah holds great importance and significance in Islam. It is among the great favours of Allah Ta‘ala upon this Ummah and it is a salient feature of Islam. [1]
Hazrat Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said:
“The day of Jumu’ah is sayyidul ayyaam (i.e. the leader of all days), and the greatest day (from the days of the week) in the sight of Allah Ta‘ala. It is more virtuous than the day of Eidul Adha and the day of Eidul Fitr in the sight of Allah Ta‘ala.
