These previous nations were
“informed about Friday” but chose
different days.
Abu Hurayrah (radia Allahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi
wa sallam) said:
“We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but the first on the Day of Resurrection,
though the former nations were given the Scriptures before us. And this was their
day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them, but they
differed about it. So, Allah gave us guidance to it, and all other people are
coming after us: the Jews tomorrow and the Christians the day after tomorrow. “
(Muslim & Bukhari)

How do we know that Jumuah is
the day for this gathering?
O you who believe! When the call is

prayer), come to the remembrance of Allâh
and Salât and leave off business.. That is
better for you if you did but know!

on the day of Jumu`ah,
leaves early,
walking not riding,
and sits close to the Imam
and listens without talking,
will earn the reward of fasting
and performing standing (in prayer)
for an entire year for every step he takes.)
(Muslim, Bukhari)
33. 33
We must leave off from

Then when the Salât is ended,
you may disperse through the land,
and seek the bounty of Allâh,
and remember Allâh much,
that you may be successful.
