Friday: A Unique Day

Assalamu Alaykum,

Today's personal post will stay short, insha Allah.

Today is Friday. My favorite day of the week for many reasons. Mainly because I get to listen to a Khutbah in person instead of listening to something online and I get to spend some good time with people who remind me of Allah and His Prophet.

A short reminder on the importance of Friday - Yawn al Jum'ah

"Friday is the best of days. It was on this day that Hadrat Aadam alayhis salaam was created, it was on this day that he was granted entry into jannah, it was on this day that he was removed from Jannah (which became the cause for man's existence in this universe, and which is a great blessing), and the day of resurrection will also take place on this day. " (Sahih Muslim)

"There is such an hour on Friday that if any Muslim makes dua in it, his dua will definitely be accepted. " (Bukhari, Muslim) 

The Prophet Muhammad (God bless him and grant him peace) said: "Of all the days, Friday is the most virtuous. It is on this day that the trumpet will be blown. Send abundant durood upon me on Fridays because they are presented to me on that day. " The Sahabah  radiallahu anhum asked: "O Rasul Allah! How will they be presented to you when even your bones will not be present after your death?" The Prophet (God bless him and grant him peace) replied: "Allah has made the earth haraam upon the prophets forever . " (Abu Dwaud)

Whoever commits ten verses from the beginning Surat al-Kahf will be protected from the Dajjal. [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasai, and others]
