A madinan view on the sunnah, courtesy, wisdom, battles and history by abu mu...docsforu
This Book
Malik said, “There is only one truth. Two contradictory statements cannot both
be correct," and “Knowledge is a light which Allah places wherever He wills. It
it not much narration of ahadith.” These apparently obvious but still powerful
statements set the tone for this book which gathers together tn one volume
matters which often challenge the cosy but fallacious consensus that modern
Muslims imagine to be so safely established. The beginning is an extensive
treatment of ‘aqidah according to the People of Madinah, and an examination
of the contentious subject of bid'ah - innovation in the deen. One of the
following chapters is an exposition of the relative merits of ahadith and amdl-
the practice of the People of Madinah - an argument which is rarely heard today.
A great deal of the book is on the noble qualities of character as exemplified by
men and women who held to them under extreme political pressure, in both
wealth and poverty.
The Author
Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani 310/922 - 386/996 at 17 years old wrote his
famous Risalah in response to a request from a friend for a book with which to
“teach children the deen as they learn the Qur’an” and that work went on to
become one of the key reference works for those concerned about the school of
the People of Madinah. He lived in Qayrawan under the shi’ah tyranny of the
Fatimids, where he resolutely kept alive the ‘aqidah and teachings of the people
of the Sunnah at great risk to his own life and safety.

This document discusses celebrating Mīlād, the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. It explains that Mīlād falls in the month of Rabī’-un-Nūr, which brings springtime joy. True Muslims express excitement for Mīlād, as the darkness of the pre-Islamic world was transformed by the birth of the Prophet, who brought mercy to all. The document encourages Muslims to celebrate Mīlād enthusiastically, as the Prophet would be pleased by those who celebrate his birth. It also provides reported benefits of celebrating Mīlād and outlines how Dawat-e-Islami encourages Mīlād celebrations.
The Dubai Fatwa states that celebrating Mawlid, the Prophet's birthday, is permissible in Islam and should be celebrated yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily. It provides arguments from hadiths and scholars to support this view, noting that not all innovations are forbidden, and good innovations that do not contradict the Quran or sunnah are allowed. Examples of practices instituted after the Prophet's time by companions like compiling the Quran and adding parts to prayers are given. Early accounts of Mawlid celebrations from the 10th century are also presented.

Excellence of invoking Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī on Friday
The Prophet of Raḥmaĥ, the Intercessor of Ummaĥ, the Owner
of Jannaĥ ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘The one who recites Ṣalāt 200
times upon me on Friday, his 200 years’ sins will be forgiven.’

Dear Islamic brothers! How fortunate we are as Allah has
blessed us with the favour of Jumu’a-tul-Mubārak for the sake
of His Beloved Rasūl ٖ ʋ ʄ . Regretfully, like other
ordinary days, we spend even Friday heedlessly whereas it is a
day of Eid, it is superior to all other days, the fire of Hell is not

blazed up on Friday and the gates of Hell are not opened on
Friday night. On the Day of Resurrection, Friday will be brought
in the form of a bride; the fortunate Muslim dying on Friday
attains the rank of martyrdom and remains safe from the torment
of the grave.
A renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Ḥakīm-ul-Ummat,
Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān has said, ‘The reward of
the Hajj performed on Friday is equivalent to 70 Hajj as the
reward of a single virtuous deed performed on Friday is enhanced
70 times.’ (As Friday is an immensely sacred day, therefore,)
The punishment of a sin committed on Friday is also increased
70 times. (Derived from Mirāĥ, vol. 2, pp. 323, 325, 336)
How words can express the excellence of Friday! By the name
of Jumu’aĥ, Allah has revealed a complete Sūraĥ that is
present in the 28th
part of the Holy Quran. Allah has said
in the 9th
verse of Sūraĥ Al-Jumu’aĥ:
ٰٓۡ ٰ ۡ ۡ ۡ ۡ ۡ ٰ ۡ ۤۡ ٰ ۡ
ۡ ۡ ٰۡ ٰۡۡۡۡ ۡۡ ۡ
O people who believe! When the call for Ṣalāĥ is given on (Friday)
the day of congregation, rush towards the remembrance of Allah
and stop buying and selling; this is better for you if you understand.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]

When did our Prophet offer his first Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ?
‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Sayyid Muhammad Na’īmuddīn Murādābādī
ۡ ȹ ۡ has said, ‘When the Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ
was on his way to Madīnaĥ for migration, he stopped at a place
called Qubā at the time of Chāsht on Monday, 12th
Rabī’-ul-
Awwal. He ٖ ʋ ʄ stayed there for four days (Monday
to Thursday); during the stay, he ʋ ʄ ٖ laid the
foundation stone of a Masjid. On Friday, he ٖ ʋ ʄ
proceeded towards Madīnaĥ. When they reached the area of
the Banī Sālim Ibn ‘Awf, it was time to offer the Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ;
people consecrated that place as Masjid where the Holy Prophet
ٖ ʋ ʄ offered the (first) Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ and delivered
a sermon. (Khazāin-ul-‘Irfān, pp. 884)
ȹ ! The glorious Masjid-ul-Jumu’aĥ still exists there;
the visitors behold the Masjid for the attainment of blessings
and offer Nafl Ṣalāĥ over there.
Meaning of the word ‘Jumu’aĥ’
The renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Ḥakīm-ul-
Ummat Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān has stated, ‘As all
the creatures assembled in their beings on this day and the
completion of the creation took place on the very same day,
clay for Sayyidunā Ādam ʎ ʄ was also collected
on this day; similarly, people congregate and perform the Friday
Ṣalāĥ on this day; therefore, it is called Jumu’aĥ on account of
11. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ

the aforementioned reasons. Before the advent of Islam, the
Arabs used to call it ‘Arūbaĥ.’ (Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 2, pp. 317)
How many times Holy Prophet offered Jumu’aĥ
Ṣalāĥ?
A renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Ḥakīm-ul-Ummat
Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān has stated, ‘The Rasūl of
mankind, the Peace of our heart and mind, the Most Generous
and Kind ٖ ʋ ʄ offered almost 500 Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ as
offering of Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ commenced subsequent to the
migration after which the total period of the apparent life of
the Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ is ten years and there are 500
Fridays in ten years’ period. (Mirāĥ, vol. 2, pp. 346 – Lam’āt lish-Shaykh
‘Abdul Ḥaq Diĥlvī, vol. 4, pp. 190, Ḥadīš 1415)

Seal on heart
The Beloved Rasūl ٖ ʋ ʄ has said, ‘Allah will
seal off the heart of the one abandoning three Jumu’aĥ’s Ṣalāĥ
out of laziness.’ (Jāmi’ Tirmiżī, vol. 2, pp. 38, Ḥadīš 500)
Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ is Farḍ-e-‘Ayn and its Farḍiyyat (obligation) is
more emphatic than that of Ṣalāt-uẓ-Ẓuĥr; the denier of its
obligation is Kāfir (unbeliever). (Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 5 –
Baĥār-e-Sharī'at, vol. 1, pp. 762)
12. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ

Excellence of wearing ‘Imāmaĥ on Friday
The Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘Indeed, Allah
and His angels send Ṣalāt upon those who wear ‘Imāmaĥ
(turban) on Friday.’ (Majma’-uz-Zawāid, vol. 2, pp. 394, Ḥadīš 3075)
Cure is bestowed
Sayyidunā Ḥumayd Bin ‘Abdur Raḥmān ʝȹ has
narrated via his father, ‘The one who trims his nails on Friday,
Allah removes his disease and bless him with cure.’
(Muṣannaf Ibn Abī Shaybaĥ, vol. 2, pp. 65)
Protection from afflictions up to ten days
Ṣadr-ush-Sharī’aĥ Badr-uṭ-Ṭarīqaĥ ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā
Muhammad Amjad ‘Alī A’ẓamī ȹ ۡ has said: It is
stated in a blessed Ḥadīš that the one who trims his nails on
Friday, Allah will protect him from afflictions up to the
next Friday including three more days, i.e. ten days in total. In
accordance with one more narration, ‘The one trimming his
nails on Friday, mercy will approach (him) and (his) sins will be
removed.’ (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, part 16, pp. 226 – Durr-e-Mukhtār, Rad-dul-
Muḥtār, vol. 9, pp. 668-669)
A cause of reduction in sustenance
Ṣadr-ush-Sharī’aĥ Badr-uṭ-Ṭarīqaĥ ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā
Muhammad Amjad ‘Alī A’ẓamī ȹ ۡ has said,
‘Although it is preferable to trim nails on Friday, yet if the nails
13. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ

are very long; one should not wait till Friday as growing long
nails is a cause of reduction in sustenance.’ (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, part
16, pp. 225)
Angels write the names of the fortunate ones
The Beloved Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘At the onset of the
day of Friday, the angels register the names of comers at the
gateway of the Masjid. They record names in chronological
order. The early comer is like the one who gives Ṣadaqaĥ of a
camel in the path of Allah. The next comer is like the one who
gives a cow and then the next one is like the donor of a sheep;
then the next one is like the donor of a hen and then the next
one is like the donor of an egg. When the Imām sits (to deliver
the sermon), the angels close the Books of Deeds and come to
listen to the sermon.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī, vol. 1, pp. 319, Ḥadīš 929)
The renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, Ḥakīm-ul-
Ummat Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān Na’īmī ʋ has stated,
‘Some scholars have said that the angels stay (at the doors of
the Masjid) from dawn whereas some other opine they stay
from sunrise; the stronger opinion, however, is that they come
and stay when the sun begins to decline (from zenith) because
it is the instant when timing of Jumu’aĥ (Ṣalāĥ) begins.’ The
foregoing narration also clearly indicates that those angels know
the names of every comer. It is noteworthy that if 100 people
enter the Masjid initially, they all would be regarded as the
first-comer. (Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 2, pp. 335)

The enthusiasm for offering Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ in the
first century
Ḥujjat-ul-Islam Sayyidunā Imām Muhammad Bin Muhammad
Bin Muhammad Ghazālī ۡ ȹ ۡ has said, ‘During the
first century, people used to proceed towards the Jāmi’ Masjid
at the time of Saḥarī and after Ṣalāt-ul-Fajr holding lamps in
their hands for offering Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ. There used to be so
huge crowd in the streets that it would seem as if it was the day
of Eid, but gradually, this spirit died out. Thus, it is said that
the very first Bid’aĥ (innovation) that evolved in Islam is the
abandonment of early proceeding towards the Jāmi’ Masjid.
Regretfully, the Muslims do not feel ashamed that Jews proceed
towards their places of worship in the early morning on
Saturday and Sunday; further, seekers of worldly luxuries also
head towards the marketplace in the early morning for trading
and earning wealth; so, why don’t the seekers of the Hereafter
compete with such people!’ (Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, vol. 1, pp. 246) A Masjid
where Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is offered, is called a Jāmi’ (main)
Masjid.

Ḥadīš 11108-11109)
Proceeding for Jumu’aĥ Ṣalāĥ early is equivalent to Hajj
The Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘No
doubt, there is one Hajj and one ‘Umraĥ for you on every Friday.
Therefore, early proceeding for Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is (equivalent
to) Hajj and waiting for Ṣalāt-ul-‘Aṣr having offered Ṣalāt-ul-
Jumu’aĥ is (equivalent to) ‘Umraĥ.’ (As-Sunan-ul-Kubrā, vol. 3,
pp. 342, Ḥadīš 5950)
Reward of Hajj and ‘Umraĥ
Ḥujjat-ul-Islam Sayyidunā Imām Muhammad Bin Muhammad
Bin Muhammad Ghazālī ۡ ȹ ۡ has said, ‘(Having
offered Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ) one should remain in the Masjid till
Ṣalāt-ul-‘Aṣr and staying in the Masjid till Ṣalāt-ul-Maghrib is
even more preferable.
It is said that the one who offers Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ in the Jāmi’
Masjid, stays there afterwards and offers Ṣalāt-ul-‘Aṣr in the
same Jāmi’ Masjid, there is the reward of Hajj for him, and the
one who stays till Ṣalāt-ul-Maghrib and offers Ṣalāt-ul-Maghrib
in the same Masjid, there is the reward of Hajj and ‘Umraĥ for
him.’ (Iḥyā-ul-‘Ulūm, vol. 1, pp. 249)

Chief of all days
The Noble Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has said, ‘Friday is chief of
all days; it is most magnificent [among all days] in the court of
Allah . It is superior to even Eid-ul-Aḍḥā and Eid-ul-Fiṭr
in the court of Allah . It has five particular features:
1. Allah created Sayyidunā Ādam on this day.
2. Sayyidunā Ādam descended upon the earth on
this day.
3. Sayyidunā Ādam passed away on the same day.
4. On Friday, there is one such moment in which if someone
prays for anything, he will be granted whatever he asked
for, provided he does not ask for anything Ḥarām.
5. The Judgement Day will take place on Friday.
There is no such distinguished angel, the sky, the earth, wind,
mountain and river that does not fear Friday.’ (Sunan Ibn Mājaĥ,
vol. 2, pp. 8, Ḥadīš 1084)
Fear for the Judgement Day among animals
According to another narration, the Beloved and Blessed Rasūl
ٖ ʋ ʄ has said, ‘There is no animal that does not
scream from dawn to sunrise every Friday out of the fear of the
Day of Judgement, except man and jinn.’ (Muwaṭṭā Imām Mālik,
vol. 1, pp. 115, Ḥadīš 246)
17. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ

Supplications are fulfilled
The Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘On Friday, there is
one such a moment which if a Muslim gets and asks Allah
for anything in that moment, Allah will definitely grant
him. That moment is very short.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, pp. 424, Ḥadīš 852)
Seek between ‘Aṣr and Maghrib
The Beloved Rasūl ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘On Friday, look for
the moment that is desired from ‘Aṣr to the sunset.’ (Jāmi’ Tirmiżī,
vol. 2, pp. 30, Ḥadīš 489)
Saying of the author of Baĥār-e-Sharī’at
Ṣadr-ush-Sharī’aĥ Maulānā Muhammad Amjad ‘Alī A’ẓamī
ȹ ۡ has stated, ‘There are two very strong statements
concerning the instant in which supplication is fulfilled (on
Friday):
1. From the moment when the Imām sits for the sermon to
the end of the Ṣalāĥ.
2. The last instant of Friday.’ (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 754)
Which is the moment of acceptance?
The renowned commentator of the Holy Quran Ḥakīm-ul-
Ummat Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān Na’īmī ʋ has stated,
‘At night there comes a moment during which supplication is
18. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ
11
answered but Friday is the only day which has such a moment
during the daytime. However, it is not known for sure as to
which moment it actually is. The strong likelihood is that it is
either between two sermons or a short while before Maghrib.’
Commenting on another Ḥadīš, the reverent Muftī has said
that there are forty different opinions of scholars regarding this
moment, out of which two are the most likely; as per one opinion,
it is between two sermons while, according to the other, it is at
the time of sunset. (Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 2, pp. 319-320)
A parable
Sayyidatunā Fāṭima-tuz-Zaĥrā ʝ used to sit in her
Ḥujraĥ (small room) a short while prior to sunset and would ask
Fiḍḍaĥ ʝ , her maid, to stand outside; as the sun begins
to set, Fiḍḍaĥ ʝ would inform her about it and Sayyidaĥ
would raise her blessed hands for supplication. (ibid, p. 320)
It is better to ask a concise supplication at that moment; for
instance the following Qurānic supplication:
ٰ ٰۤۡ ۡ
Our Rab! Give us good in the world and good in the Hereafter,
and save us from the torment of fire!
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
(Part 2, Sūraĥ Al-Baqaraĥ, verse 201) (Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 2, pp. 325)
19. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ
12
One can recite Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī as well with the intention of
supplication as Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī is itself a magnificent
supplication. It is preferable to supplicate between both sermons
by heart without raising hands and without uttering anything
verbally.
14 Million 400 thousands released from Hell
every Friday
The Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘There are 24 hours in
day and night of Friday, there is not a single such hour in
which Allah does not release six hundred thousand (such
sinners) from Hell for whom Hell had become due.’ (Musnad Abī
Ya’lā, vol. 3, pp. 291, 235 Ḥadīš 3421, 3471)
Security from grave torment
The Beloved and Blessed Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ has said,
‘The one who dies during the day or night of Friday, he will be
saved from the torment of the grave and will be resurrected on
the Day of Judgement with the seal of martyrs.’ (Ḥilyat-ul-Auliyā,
vol. 3, pp. 181, Ḥadīš 3629)
Sins between two Fridays forgiven
Sayyidunā Salmān Fārsī ʝ has narrated that the Holy
Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘The one who takes bath on

him, applies oil and lawful perfume available at home, heads

between two people, i.e. does not sit between two people by
intrusion, offers the Ṣalāĥ ordained for him and stays silent
during the Imām’s sermon, his sins committed between this
Friday and the previous one will be forgiven.’ (Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī,
vol. 1, pp. 306, Ḥadīš 883)
Reward of 200 years’ worship
Sayyidunā Ṣiddīq Akbar and Sayyidunā ‘Imrān Bin Ḥaṣīn
ʝȹ have narrated that the Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ
said, ‘The one taking bath on Friday, his sins and misdeeds are
removed; when he proceeds (to offer Ṣalāĥ) 20 virtuous deeds
are written for his every step.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabīr, vol. 18, pp. 139,
Ḥadīš 292)
According to another narration, the reward of 20 years’ virtuous
deeds is written for his every step. When he finishes the Ṣalāĥ,
he is given the reward of 200 years’ worship. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsaṭ,
vol. 2, pp. 314, Ḥadīš 3397)

Jumu’aĥ, fasts (on the same day), visits a sick person, participates
in a funeral and attends a Nikah (marriage) ceremony, Heaven
will become due for him.’ (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Kabīr, vol. 8, pp. 97,
Ḥadīš 7484)

Avoid fasting on Friday alone
It is Makrūĥ Tanzīĥī to fast specifically on Friday or Saturday
alone. However, if Friday or Saturday falls on any sacred date
such as 15th
Sha’bān or 27th
Rajab etc., there is no harm in fasting
on these days. The Noble Prophet ʋ ʄ ٖ said, ‘Friday
is Eid for you. Do not fast on this day unless you add another
fast on its preceding or succeeding day. (Attarghīb Wattarĥīb, vol. 2,
pp. 81, Ḥadīš 11)
Reward of 10,000 years’ fasts
A’lā Ḥaḍrat Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān has said, ‘It is
narrated that the fast of Friday together with that of Thursday
or Saturday is equivalent to 10,000 years’ fasts.’ (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ
(referenced), vol. 10, pp. 653)
In which case is it Makrūĥ to observe fast on Friday?
To observe fast on Friday is not always Makrūĥ. It is Makrūĥ
only when one has observed it considering Friday a special
occasion for it.
Presented here is a question with its answer, extracted from page
559 of the 10th
volume of the referenced Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ,
regarding the issue of the fast of Friday being Makrūĥ.
Question: What is the verdict of Islamic scholars as regards
observing Nafl fast on Friday? A person observed fast on Friday
but another person forced him into breaking the fast in the
23. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ
16
afternoon saying that Friday is an Eid for the Muslims and it is
Makrūĥ to observe fast on this day.
Answer: To observe fast on Friday with the intention that
fasting on Friday is specifically desirable, is Makrūĥ [disapproved]
but its disapproval is not strong enough to necessitate breaking
the fast. Further, if the intention of Friday was not specified,
then there is no disapproval at all. If the objecting person was
unaware of the Makrūĥ intention, then his objection is a silly
act altogether and breaking the fast is a severe daring in matters
of Sharī’aĥ. Even if he was aware [of the Makrūĥ intention],
mere conveying the ruling was sufficient. There was no need at
all to force the fasting person into breaking his fast and that
too in the afternoon, which is not authorized to anyone except
for parents provided the fast is Nafl. The one breaking the fast
and the other person forcing him into breaking it – both are
sinners. Qaḍā [of that fast] is obligatory for the one breaking
the fast. No expiation is required. م

Dear Islamic brothers! The one who visits the grave of either of
or both of his deceased parents on Friday and recites Sūraĥ
Yāsīn over there, he will be successful. ȹ , there are 5

Thursday and Friday) will be forgiven.’ (Attarghīb Wattarĥīb, vol. 1,

Souls congregate
Since souls congregate on Friday, one should visit graves on this
day; further, Hell is not blazed up on this day. (Durr-e-Mukhtār,
vol. 3, p. 49)
A’lā Ḥaḍrat Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān has stated,
‘The best time of visiting (graves) is the time after morning
Ṣalāĥ on Friday.’ (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ (referenced), vol. 9, pp. 523)
Excellence of reciting Sūraĥ Al-Kaĥf

(As-Sunan-ul-Kubrā lil-Bayĥaqī, vol. 3, pp. 353, Ḥadīš 5996)
Nūr up to the Ka’baĥ
It is stated in another narration: ‘For the one reciting Sūraĥ
Al-Kaĥf on Friday-night (i.e. the night between Thursday and
Friday), Nūr will be brightened from where he is present up to
the blessed Ka’baĥ.’ (Sunan Dārimī, vol. 2, pp. 546, Ḥadīš 3407)
Excellence of Sūraĥ Ḥā-Mīm Ad-Dukhān

Post-Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ activities
Allah has said in the 10th
verse of Sūraĥ Jumu’aĥ (part 28):
ٰۡ ۡ
ۡ ۡ
ۡ ٰٰۡۡۡۡۡۡۡ ۡ
And when the Ṣalāĥ ends, spread out in the land and seek
Allah’s munificence, and profusely remember Allah, in the hope
of attaining success.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
Commenting on the foregoing verse, ‘Allāmaĥ Maulānā Sayyid
Muhammad Na’īmuddīn Murādābādī ۡ ȹ ۡ has
written in Khazāin-ul-‘Irfān, ‘Having offered Friday Ṣalāĥ, it is
permissible for you to occupy yourselves in earning livelihood,
or earn reward by acquiring (religious) knowledge, visiting the
sick, attending funerals, visiting scholars or performing other
such righteous deeds.’
28. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ

Attending a gathering of Islamic knowledge
Attending a gathering of religious knowledge after Friday
Ṣalāĥ is preferable. Therefore, Ḥujjat-ul-Islam Sayyidunā
Imām Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Muhammad Ghazālī
ۡ ȹ ۡ narrated that Sayyidunā Anas Bin Mālik ʝ
has said, ‘This verse does not refer to worldly trade and business
(only), rather, it refers to seeking (Islamic) knowledge, visiting
brothers, visiting the sick, attending funerals and carrying out
other such activities.’ (Kīmiyā-e-Sa’ādat, vol. 1, pp. 191)
Dear Islamic brothers! There are eleven preconditions for
rendering Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ Wājib; if either of them is not
found, it will no longer remain Farḍ. However, if someone still
offers it, his Ṣalāĥ will be valid; and it is preferable for a sane,
adult male to offer Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ. If a minor offers Ṣalāt-ul-
Jumu’aĥ, it will be regarded as Nafl because Ṣalāĥ is not Farḍ
for him. (Durr-e-Mukhtār, Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 3, pp. 30)

11 Pre-conditions for the obligation of Ṣalāt-ul Jumu’aĥ
1. Being settled in city
2. Health (Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is not Farḍ for a patient. Here,
patient refers to the person who cannot get to the Masjid
where Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is held or even though he can get
29. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ
22
to the Masjid, it will result in the prolongation of his
disease or delay in cure. The ruling of patient applies to
Shaykh-e-Fānī as well).
3. Being a free person (Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is not Farḍ for a
slave; his master can prevent him).
4. Being a man
5. Being an adult
6. Being sane (the foregoing two conditions, i.e. adulthood
and sanity are necessary not only for the obligation of
Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ but also for every other worship).
7. Having the faculty of sight
8. Having the capability to walk
9. Not being imprisoned
10. Not having the fear of the king, thief etc. or that of any
oppressor.
11. Not having the valid fear of harm due to rainfall, snowfall,
tornado or cold weather. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 770-772)
Those for whom Ṣalāĥ is Farḍ but Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is not Farḍ
on account of any Shar’ī exemption, are not exempted from
Ṣalāt-uẓ-Ẓuĥr on Friday; such people have to offer Ṣalāt-uẓ-
Ẓuĥr in lieu of Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ.
30. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ

Sunnaĥs of Friday
The Mustaḥabbāt of Jumu’aĥ include proceeding to offer
Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ in initial time, using Miswāk, wearing nice
white clothes, applying oil and fragrance sitting in the first Ṣaf
(row); while having a bath is Sunnaĥ. (Fatāwā 'Ālamgīrī, vol. 1,
pp. 149 – Ghunyaĥ, pp. 559)
Time for Ghusl on Friday
Ḥakīm-ul-Ummat Muftī Aḥmad Yār Khān has
stated, ‘Some scholars ȹ say that having a bath on
Friday is a Sunnaĥ for Friday Ṣalāĥ, not for Friday itself,
(therefore) having a bath on Friday is not a Sunnaĥ for those
for whom Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is not Farḍ.
According to some scholars ȹ , one should have bath
on Friday close to the time of Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ so that he offers
the Ṣalāĥ with the same Wuḍū (made during the bath). However,
the most authentic verdict is that the time for Friday’s bath
starts from the break of dawn.’ (Mirāĥ, vol. 2, pp. 334)
The foregoing account also clarifies that Friday’s bath is not
a Sunnaĥ for women, travellers etc. for whom Friday Ṣalāĥ is
not Wājib.

Friday’s bath is Sunnat-e-Ghayr Muakkadaĥ
‘Allāmaĥ Ibn ‘Ābidīn Shāmī öʗ has said, ‘Having a bath
for Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is one of the Sunan-e-Zawāid; (and
therefore) the abandoner of Friday’s bath will not be objected
to.’ (Rad-dul-Muḥtār, vol. 1, pp. 339)
Excellence of sitting closer during sermon
Sayyidunā Samuraĥ Bin Jundab ʝ has narrated that
the Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘Be present at the time
of the sermon and sit close to the Imām because the farther a
person remains from the Imām, the later he will enter Heaven,
though he (a Muslim) will definitely enter the Heaven.’ (Sunan
Abū Dāwūd, vol. 1, pp. 410, Ḥadīš 1108)
No reward of Jumu’aĥ
The Holy Prophet ٖ ʋ ʄ said, ‘The one who talks on
Friday, whilst the Imām is delivering the sermon, is like a
donkey carrying the books and at that time, the one asking him
‘keep silent’ will not be rewarded with the reward of Jumu’aĥ.’
(Musnad Imām Aḥmad, vol. 1, pp. 494, Ḥadīš 2033)
Listening to the sermon silently is Farḍ
The acts that are Ḥarām during Ṣalāĥ such as eating, drinking,
greeting, saying Salām, replying to Salām and even calling
someone to righteousness are also Ḥarām during the sermon
as well. However, the Khaṭīb (the deliverer of sermon) can call
32. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ
25
someone to righteousness. It is Farḍ for all the attendees to
listen and remain silent while the sermon is being delivered.
Staying silent is Wājib even for those present so far from the
Imām that they cannot listen to the sermon. If someone is seen
committing any misdeed, he may be prevented either by the
gesture of hand or nod of head; preventing him by uttering any
word or sound is not permissible. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 774 –
Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 39)
Listener of sermon is not allowed to recite even
Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī
If the Khaṭīb mentioned the blessed name of the Holy Prophet
ٖ ʋ ʄ during the sermon, the listeners may recite
Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī in their hearts; reciting Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī verbally
at that time is not allowed. Likewise, uttering ‘ ُ ّٰ

Listening to the Nikah sermon is Wājib
In addition to the sermon delivered for Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ, it is
also Wājib to listen to other sermons such as the ones delivered
for Eid Ṣalāĥ, Nikah etc. (Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 40)

Trading also becomes impermissible as soon as the
first Ażān is called
As soon as the first Ażān is called, it is Wājib to start making
effort to get to the Masjid for offering Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ; it is also
Wājib to put off trading and other activities contrary to the
preparations for Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ. Similarly, sale and purchase
while proceeding to Masjid is also impermissible and trading
in the Masjid is a severe sin. If the one having meal hears the
voice of Ażān for Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ and fears that he may miss
Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ in case of having meal, he has to stop eating
and proceed to the Masjid for offering Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ. One
should get to the Masjid in a dignified manner for Ṣalāt-ul-
Jumu’aĥ. (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 775 – ‘Alamgīrī, vol. 1, p. 149 –
Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 42)
These days, people are far away from the path of religious
knowledge; like other worships, people commit sins as a result
of making mistakes in listening to sermon. Therefore, it is my
humble request that the Khaṭīb (deliverer of sermon) make
following announcement every Friday prior to the Ażān of
Khuṭbaĥ before sitting on the pulpit and earn hoards of reward:
Seven Madanī pearls of sermon
1. It is stated in a Ḥadīš, ‘The one, who crosses over people’s
necks on Friday, makes a bridge towards Hell.’ (Jāmi’ Tirmiżī,
vol. 2, pp. 48, Ḥadīš 513) One of the explanations of this Ḥadīš
34. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ
27
is that people will enter the Hell trampling over him.
(Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 761-762)
2. To sit facing the Khaṭīb is Sunnaĥ of the blessed
companions ʝȹ ۡ .
3. Some of our past saints ȹ said, ‘One should listen
to the sermon in the sitting-posture (as one sits in Qa’daĥ),
folding hands (under navel) during the first sermon and
placing them on thighs during the second; ˠ ȹ
he will earn the reward of offering two Rak’āt Ṣalāĥ.
(Mirāt-ul-Manājīḥ, vol. 2, pp. 338)
4. A’lā Ḥaḍrat Imām Aḥmad Razā Khān has said,
‘When one hears the blessed name of the Beloved Prophet
ٖ ʋ ʄ during the sermon, he should recite
Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī in his heart as it is Farḍ to remain silent
during sermon.’ (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ (referenced), vol. 8, pp. 365)
5. It is stated in Durr-e-Mukhtār: During the sermon, eating,
drinking, talking (even saying
ۡبُسَنٰح
ّٰ
ا ), replying to someone’s
greeting, and inspiring others towards righteousness, all
are Ḥarām.’ (Durr-e-Mukhtār, vol. 3, pp. 39)
6. A’lā Ḥaḍrat ȹʋ has said, ‘Walking during the
sermon is Ḥarām. The reverent scholars ȹ even
say that if someone enters the Masjid during the sermon,
he must stop wherever he is without proceeding further as
35. Blessings of Jumu’aĥ
28
walking would be an act and no act is permissible during
the sermon.’ (Fatāwā Razawiyyaĥ (referenced), vol. 8, pp. 333)
7. A’lā Ḥaḍrat ʋ has said, ‘During the sermon, even
looking somewhere turning the head is Ḥarām.’ (ibid, pp. 334)
An important ruling for leading Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ
With regard to the leading of Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ there is an
important issue about which people are quite inattentive. Ṣalāt-ul-
Jumu’aĥ is being considered like other Ṣalāĥ and everyone is
being allowed to lead Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ; it is impermissible as
leading Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ is essentially the duty of the Islamic
ruler or his deputy.
In the states where Islamic sovereignty does not exist, the
greatest Sunnī scholar having correct beliefs should lead Ṣalāt-ul-
Jumu’aĥ as he is the substitute of the Islamic ruler in executing
Shar’ī rulings; Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ cannot be held without his
permission. If there is no such scholar, the one appointed by
common people can lead the Ṣalāĥ. In spite of the presence of
an Islamic scholar, people cannot themselves appoint anyone
else, nor can just a few people appoint someone as the Imām
on their own behalf. Holding Ṣalāt-ul-Jumu’aĥ in this way is
not proven (in Islamic history). (Baĥār-e-Sharī’at, vol. 1, pp. 764)
