Dont MISS The Golden Opportunity !!
"There is a special hour on Friday, during which all prayers are accepted and answered by Allah, all Glory and Praise be to Him. This is part of the blessings that Allah has blessed this day with, over all the other days of the week."
It was narrated from Abu Hurraira that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioned Friday and said: “On this day there is a time when no Muslim stands and prays, asking Allah for something, but Allah will grant him it” – and he gestured with his hands to indicate how short that time is. [Bukhari 893 Muslim, 852]
Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said as to the exact hour of Friday during which this occurs is after the Asr prayer until the Magrib prayer because of the following hadith: "Friday has twelve hours (or part to it). There is one hour during which if a Muslim asks Allah anything, Allah will give it to him, so find it during the last hour after Asr." {Abu Dawud & An-Nasai}
5. Reading Soorat al-Kahf
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khduri that the Prophet (sallAllahu ályhi wasallam) said: “Whoever reads Soorat al-Kahf on Friday, he will be illuminated with light between the two Fridays.”
(Narrated by al-Haakim; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani)
6. Sending a lot of blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
According to a hadith by the Prophet (SAW) that was narrated that Fadaalah ibn ‘Ubayd (RA), the Prophet (SAW) said: “ Whilst the Messenger of Allah (SAW) was sitting, a man came in and prayed and said, “O Allah, forgive me and have mercy on me.” The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “You have been too hasty, O worshipper. When you have prayed and are sitting, praise Allah as He deserves to be praised, and send blessings upon me , then call upon Him.” [Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi, 3476]
According to another version [3477] of the hadith, the Prophet (SAW) said: “ When one of you prays, let him start with praise of Allah, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet (SAW), then let him ask whatever he likes after that.” Then another man prayed after that, and he praised Allah and sent blessings upon the Prophet (SAW). The Prophet (SAW) said: “O worshipper, ask and you will be answered.” [Classed as Saheeh by Al-Albaani in Saheeh Al-Tirmidhi, 2765, 2767]
The Prophet (SAW) said: “ Every dua is kept back until you send blessings upon the Prophet (SAW).” [Narrated by Al-Tabaraani in Al-Awsat, 1/220; classed as Saheeh by Al-Albaani in Saheeh Al-Jaami’, 4399]
In Sunan al-Tirmidhi (2381) it is narrated that Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, I send a great deal of blessings upon you. How much of my du’aa’ should I make for you? He said: “Whatever you wish.” I said: One-quarter? He said: “Whatever you wish, but if you do more it will be better for you.” I said: One half? He said: “Whatever you wish, but if you do more it will be better for you.” I said: Two-thirds? He said: “Whatever you wish, but if you do more it will be better for you.” I said: I will make all my du’aa’ for you. He said: “Then your worries will be taken care of and your sins will be forgiven.” [Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh Sunan al-Tirmidhi.]
According to another hadith from ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattaab (RA), the Prophet (SAW) said: “ Dua is suspended between heaven and earth and none of it is taken up until you send blessings upon your Prophet (SAW).” [Ibn Katheer said: Its isnaad is jayyid. It was classed as hasan by Al-Albaani in Saheeh Al-Tirmidhi, 486]
Note: Saying / Greeting / Congratulation to each other ‘Jummu’ah Mubaraka’ is a Bid’ah.
1. As for congratulating one another on the occasion of Friday, what seems to us to be the case is that it is not prescribed, because the fact that Friday is an Eid was known to the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them), and they were more knowledgeable than us about its virtues, and they were keen to respect it and give it its due, but there is no report to suggest that they used to congratulate one another on Fridays. And all goodness is in following them (may Allah be pleased with them).
Shaykh Saalih ibn Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) was asked: What is the ruling on sending text messages every Friday and ending with the phrase “Jumu‘ah mubaarak”?
He replied:
The early generation did not congratulate one another on Fridays, so we should not introduce anything that they did not do.
