The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The best prayer in the sight of Allah is the congregational Fajr prayer on Friday.”<\/p><\/div>\n

Many of us go to the mosque on Friday as a matter of tradition and habit, without making the intention of worship, whereas an intention is a precondition for the Jumu`ah prayer and all other acts of worship.<\/p>\n

Increasingly, we see people staying up late, which causes them to miss Down (Fajr) prayer, leaving them to start their day having committed a great major sin, while the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “The best prayer in the sight of Allah is the congregational Fajr prayer on Friday.” (Graded as Sahih by Al-Albani)<\/p>\n

People might commit mistakes out of ignorance or negligence, among which are the following:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Slighting the attendance of the Jumu`ah sermon (khutbah<\/i>); some people arrive during the sermon and others arrive while people are praying.<\/p>\n

2. Abandoning or slighting praying the Jumu`ah prayer. The Prophet said: “Let those who abandon attending the Jumu`ah prayer refrain from doing so, or Allah will seal their hearts and they will become heedless.”(Muslim)<\/p>\n

3. Neglecting bathing, perfuming, wearing ones best clothing and using the siwak<\/i>.<\/p>\n

4. Shopping or engaging in trade after the Adhan<\/i> (call for prayer) has been called for the Jumu`ah sermon, while Allah the Almighty says:<\/p>\n

O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) on Friday (Jumu`ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumu`ah religious talk (Khutbah<\/i>) and Salat (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if you did but know.<\/strong> (Al-Jumu`ah 62:9)<\/p>\n

Ibn `Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “It is forbidden to buy or sell at that time.”<\/p>\n

5. Some people commit certain sins while thinking they doing something praiseworthy, such as those who shave their beards on Friday because it looks “cleaner “.<\/p>\n

6. Sitting in the courtyard of the mosque while there is space for inside.<\/p>\n

7. Making people move and sitting in their place. Jabir(may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Let no one move his brother on the day of Jumu’ah and sit in his place, instead he should say: ‘make space.'”(Muslim)<\/p>\n

8. Passing over people’s shoulders, forcefully separating people in order to sit between them, and harming people by forcing them into cramped spaces. The Prophet said to a man who was passing over people’s shoulders during the Jumu`ah sermon: “Sit down, because you have harmed people.” (Graded as Sahih by Al-Albani)<\/p>\n

9. Talking or reciting the Qur\u2019an in a loud voice and thereby disturbing others who are praying or reciting the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>\n

10. Leaving the mosque after the adhan<\/i> has been called without a valid excuse.<\/p>\n

11. Not paying attention to what the Khatib<\/i> is saying during the sermon.<\/p>\n

12. Praying two rak`ahs<\/i> (units of prayer) between the two sermons, whereas the Sunnah is to supplicate and seek forgiveness until the imam<\/i> stands up to deliver the second sermon.<\/p>\n

13. Unnecessary movements during prayer, hastening to leave the mosque immediately after praying and pushing people at the door to leave without finishing the prescribed supplications after praying.<\/p>\n

Mistakes of Imams:<\/b><\/p>\n

1. Making the sermon long and shortening the prayer.<\/p>\n

`Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he heard the Prophet saying: “The lengthening of the prayer (by the imam) and the shortness of the khutbah<\/i> (sermon) is the sign of his understanding (of faith), so prolong your prayers and shorten your speech; indeed some khutbahs<\/i> have the effect of magic (i.e., they are very powerful).” (Muslim)<\/p>\n

2. Not being well prepared for the sermon and not choosing the correct topic that addresses people’s concerns.<\/p>\n

3. Having numerous linguistic errors in the khutbah<\/i>.<\/p>\n

4. Using narrations that are weak or fabricated, and quoting disliked opinions without denouncing them.<\/p>\n

5. Limiting the second sermon to contain supplications only.<\/p>\n

6. Not using any verses from the Qur\u2019an during the sermon, which opposes the Sunnah.<\/p>\n

7. Failing to deliver a stirring sermon, while it is reported by Jabir when he described the Prophet (peace be upon him), he said, “Whenever the Prophet used to deliver the Jumu`ah sermon, he would raise his voice; his eyes would become red and he would become excited as though he was warning people against a conquering army which was just about to attack them.” (Muslim)<\/p>\n
