Jumma Mubarak Messages to All

It’s Jumma, Friday as it is called in Urdu the language of Indians. Jumma is a special day for Muslims as Saturday is special for Jews and Sunday to Christians. Muslims offer special afternoon prayers at a Masjid (Mosque).

Friday (Jumma) is called as Yawm Al-Jumu’ah.

The Prayer that Muslims offer on Friday (Jumma) is called as ṣalāt al-Jum`ah/Salat al-Jumah in Arabic, Jumma Namaz or Jumah Namaz in Urdu, Hindi, and Persian.

Mention of Friday Prayer/Salat al-Jumah/Jumah Namaz in the Holy Quran:

“O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly, yawm al-jumu’ah), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew!
And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.”

— Qur’an, Sura 62 (Al-Jumua), āyāt 9-10.

 

Mention of Friday Prayer/Salat al-Jumah/Jumah Namaz in the Hadith:

 

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “On every Friday the angels take their stand at every gate of the mosques to write the names of the people chronologically (i.e. according to the time of their arrival for the Friday prayer) and when the Imam sits (on the pulpit) they fold up their scrolls and get ready to listen to the sermon.”

— Collected by Muhammad al-Bukhari, Sahih al-Bukhari
