What Is The Merits Of Friday Over Other Days? And Why?
Praise be to Allah.
Friday has many distinguishing features and virtues that Allah has bestowed upon this day and not others.
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah and Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Allah led those who came before us away from Friday. The Jews had Saturday, and the Christians had Sunday. Then Allah brought us and Allah guided us to Friday. So there is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and thus they will follow us on the Day of Resurrection. We are the last of the people of this world, but we will be the first on the Day of Resurrection, and we will be dealt with before all others.”
Narrated by Muslim, 856.
Al-Nawawi said: Al-Qaadi said: The apparent meaning is that it was obligatory for them to venerate Friday, but this was not stated clearly; the matter was left to their own reasoning. But they did not manage to work it out and Allah did not guide them to it. It was enjoined clearly upon this ummah and was not left to their own reasoning, thus they were blessed with it. It was narrated that Moosa enjoined Friday upon them and told them of its virtues, but they disputed with him and argued that Saturday was better, and it was said to him, “Let them be.” Al-Qaadi said: that if there had been a clear command, their arguing with him would not have been valid, rather it would have been said to him that they were going against the command. I say: it may be that that was clearly enjoined upon them, but they disputed whether it was something they had to adhere to or they could change it to another day; they decided to change it to another day, and they erred greatly thereby.
It comes as no surprise that Friday was specifically enjoined upon them, and they went against that.
Al-Hafiz said: How can it be otherwise when they are the ones who said “We hear, and we disobey”
It was narrated from Aws ibn Aws that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The best of your days is Friday. On that day Adam (peace be upon him) was created; on that day he died; on that day the Trumpet will be blown and on that day all of the creation will swoon. So send a great deal of blessings upon me, for your blessings will be shown to me.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, how will our blessings upon you be shown to you when you have turned to dust” He said, “Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets, peace be upon them.”
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1047; classed as saheeh by Ibn al-Qayyim in his comments on Sunan Abi Dawood, 4/273; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 925.
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise, and on it, he was expelled therefrom.”
Narrated by Muslim, 1410.
This hadith includes some of the reasons why Friday is regarded as special.
Al-Nawawi said: Al-Qaadi Iyaad said: The apparent meaning is that these virtues do not mean that Friday is regarded as special because Adam was expelled on a Friday and the Hour will begin on a Friday. Rather, it is meant to explain what momentous events took place and will take place on this day, so that people will make the most of this day to do righteous deeds, so to attain the mercy of Allah and ward off His punishment. This is the view of al-Qaadi. Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi said in his book al-Ahwadhi fi Sharh al-Tirmidhi: All of these events are good and add to the virtue of Friday. The expulsion of Adam from Paradise is the reason why his offspring and the Messengers, the Prophets, the righteous, and the awliya exist. He was not expelled from it as such, but rather it was for a purpose, then he will return to it. Concerning the Hour beginning on a Friday, the reason is so that the reward may be hastened for the Prophets, believers in truth, awliya, and others, and their honor and high status may be made manifest. This hadith points to the virtues of Friday and its high status in relation to the other days.
It was narrated that Abu Lubaabah ibn Abd al-Mundhir said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Friday is the master of days, and the greatest of them before Allah. It is greater before Allah than the day of al-Adha and the day of al-Fitr. It has five characteristics: on this day Allah created Adam, on it, He sent Adam down to the earth, on it Allah caused Adam to die, on it there is a time when a person does not ask Allah for anything, but He gives it to him, so long as he does not ask for anything haram, and on it the Hour will begin. There is no angel who is close to Allah, no heaven, no earth, no wind, no mountain, and no sea that does not fear Friday.”
Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 1084; classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, no. 2279
Al-Sanadi said: “They fear Friday” which means they fear the onset of the Hour. This indicates that all created beings are aware of the days, and they know that the Day of Resurrection will come on a Friday.”
The virtues of this day include the following:
1 On it is Salaat al-Jumu’ah (Friday prayer), which is the best of prayer.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salah (prayer) on Friday (Jumu’ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jumu’ah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salah (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing). That is better for you if you did but know!”
[al-Jumu’ah 62:9]
Muslim (233) narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The five daily prayers and from one Jumu’ah to the next is an expiation for whatever sins come in between them, so long as one does not commit a major sin.
2 Praying Fajr in the congregation on Fridays is the best prayer that the Muslims can pray during the week.
It was narrated that Ibn Umar said: The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The best prayer before Allah is Fajr prayer on Friday in the congregation.”
Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Eemaan; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami, 1119
One of the special features of Fajr prayer on Friday is that it is Sunnah to recite Soorat al-Sajdah in the first rakah and Soorat al-Insaan in the second.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite in Fajr prayer on Fridays Alif-Laam-Meem Tanzeel (Soorat al-Sajdah) in the first rakah and Hal ata alal-insaan heenun min al-dahr lam yakun shay’an madhkooran (Soorat al-Insaan) in the second.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 851; Muslim, 880.
Al-Haafz Ibn Hajar said: It was said that the reason why these two surahs are recited is that they mention the creation of Adam and what will happen on the Day of Resurrection because that will come to pass on a Friday.
3 Whoever dies during the day or night of Friday, Allah will protect him from the trial of the grave. It was narrated that Abd-Allah ibn Amr said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “There is no Muslim who dies during the day of Friday or the night of Friday, but Allah will protect him from the trial of the grave.”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1074; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Ahkaam al-Janaa?iz, p. 49, 50
These are some of the virtues of Friday. We ask Allah to help us to please Him.
And Allah knows best.

The Day Of Arafah: The Day That Allah Completed His Favor Upon Us
A day preferred over all other days; a day in which sins are forgiven and supplications are answered; a day in which Allah descends from His throne and says to the angels:‘What do these people desire and seek?’
It is befitting therefore that we, as Muslims, know about this day and appreciate its virtue.
Corresponding to 9th Dhul Hijjah, wherein our brothers and sisters who have departed to perform Hajj stand together, Arafah remains the core and essence of Hajj. This day Allah descends to the nearest heaven, and He is proud of His slaves on the earth and says to those in heaven:“Look at My servants. They have come from far and near, with hair disheveled and faces covered with dust, to seek My mercy…”
Virtues
1. Allah perfected His religion on this day and completed his favor upon us.
“This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion”(Quran 05:03)
Umar(may Allah be pleased to him) said regarding the above ayah, ‘We know the day and place in which [this verse] was revealed to the Prophet(salAllaahu alayhi wa sallam). It was when he was standing in Arafah on a Friday.’
2. Allah took an oath on this day. He said:{By the witnessing day, and by the witnessed day}(Quran 85:03)
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet(sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “The witnessed days are the Day of Arafah.”
It is known that Allah would only take an oath by something of great importance.
3. It is the best day and the most beloved day to Allah in the year.
Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allaah(sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “And there is no day better in the sight of Allah than the Day of `Arafah…”.
4. Allah frees more people from the hellfire.
Muslim and others have reported from Aisha that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Allah frees more people from the Hellfire on the Day of ‘Arafah than on any other day, and Allah draws closer this day and proudly says to the angels, ‘What do these people want and seek?’”
5. It is a day held dear to ALL the prophets before us.
The Messenger of Allaah(sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “The best supplication is that of the Day of ‘Arafah, and the best thing that I and other Prophets before me said, is: ‘La ilaaha ill Allahu,wahdahu la shareeka lahu. Lahul mulk wa lahul hamd wa huwa ‘alaa kulli shayin qadeer.'”
For those not performing Hajj
To attain the reward of this blessed day, and thereby follow the example of the Prophets who came before, one should:
1. Fast the day of Arafah
Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (salAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “Fasting the day of Arafah expiates the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one.”
One should therefore fast on this day, and encourage friends and family to fast so that our sins may be forgiven, and we may be favored amongst the righteous servants of Allah.
2. Supplicate to Allah
The prophet(sal Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “The best of supplications is the supplication on the Day of Arafah”
3. Make remembrance of Allah -praising and glorifying him.
Ibn Umar states:‘we were with the Prophet on the Day of Arafah. Some of us would glorify Allah (by saying Allah Akbar) whilst others would praise Allah (by sayingLaa ilaaha illa Allaah).
Through the above, the benefits, blessings, and favors of the pilgrim are shared and Allah draws near; His Generosity and Kindness overflowing, as He boasts to His angels:
“He says, My slaves have come to me so lovingly,
and indeed I am, to them, most Kind and Merciful,
Bear witness, I have forgiven their sins,
blessed them and granted them their hopes.”
[Ibn Al-Qayyim Al Jawziyyah]

With Whom Is Allah?
(1) Allah Is With Those Who Patiently Persevere (Saabireen)
O ye who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere. [2:153]
And obey Allah and His Messenger. And fall into no disputes, lest ye lose heart and your power depart; and be patient and persevering: For Allah is with those who patiently persevere: [8:46]
Now Allah has lightened your burden, for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are a hundred steadfast among you, they will overcome two hundred. And if there be one thousand, they will overcome two thousand, by Allah’s Will. And Allah is with the steadfast. [8:66]
When Talut set forth with the armies, he said: “(Allah) will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand is excused.” but they all drank of it, except a few. When they crossed the river,- He and the faithful ones with him,- they said: “This day We cannot cope with Goliath and his forces.” but those who were convinced that they must meet Allah, said: “How oft,
by Allah’s will, Hath a small force vanquished a big one? Allah is with those who steadfastly persevere.” [2:249]
(2) Allah Is With Those Who Believe (Mumineen)
If you [disbelievers] seek the victory – the defeat has come to you. And if you desist [from hostilities], it is best for you; but if you return [to war], We will return, and never will you be availed by your [large] company at all, even if it should increase; and [that is] because Allah is with the believers. [8:19]
(3) Allah Is With Those Who Restrain Themselves (Muttaqeen)
O ye who believe! Fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him. [9:123]
[Fighting in] the sacred month is for [aggression committed in] the sacred month, and for [all] violations is legal retribution. So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you. And fear Allah and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.. [2:194]
(4) Allah is with those who those who do good. (Muhsinoon)
For Allah is with those who restrain themselves, and those who do good. [16:128]

The Prophet Mohammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon him) And His Companions Real Life Story
1. SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB: Just as the Prophet (S.A.W.), and his companions landed from their rides, and
laid the loads down, it was decided that they would sacrifice a lamb for dinner.
One of the companions volunteered: “I will sacrifice the lamb.” Another: “I will skin it.” Third: “I will cook it.”
Fourth: ” I will….” The Prophet (S.A.W.): “I will gather the wood from the desert.”
The group: “O Messenger of Allah, it is not becoming of you to discomfort yourself as such. You rest. We will be honored to do all this on our own.”
The Prophet (S.A.W.): “I know that you are eager to do it all, but Allah isn’t pleased with the slave who distinguishes between himself and his companions and considers himself better than others.”
Then he went to the desert, and gathered some wood, and brought it to the group.
2. TYING THE CAMEL: The caravan had been traveling for a few hours now. Signs of fatigue were obvious on their faces. They arrived at a point and stopped. The Prophet (S.A.W.) who was also in the caravan, stopped the camel and landed. Before anything, they were in search of water to prepare for prayer.
The Prophet (S.A.W.) also started searching for water. But soon, returned to his camel, without saying anything to anyone. The companions were surprised that the Prophet (S.A.W.) had ordered stopping here, and now perhaps he would like to move again. Eyes and ears were awaiting his order. But the surprise of the group increased as they saw him approach his camel, tie its knees, and return in search of water.
Noises were raised from every corner: “O Prophet of Allah! Why didn’t you order us to do this for you, and instead you put yourself in discomfort? We would have proudly done that service for you.”
The Prophet (S.A.W.) responded: “Never seek others’ help in your affairs, don’t lean on others, even if it is a small piece of Miswak (the wood used for brushing teeth).”
- TELLING THE TRUTH: Telling the truth is a very good habit. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble! Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him.
Once a man came to the prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) and said, “Oh prophet of Allah, I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?” The prophet said, “Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth.” The man promised to do so and went home. At night the man was about to go out to steal. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise he made with the prophet. “If tomorrow the prophet asks me where have I been, what shall I say? Shall I say that I went out stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth,
everyone will start hating me and call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing.”
