JUMAH (Friday Prayer)

IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDING FRIDAY PRAYER


Friday Prayer is very important in Islam. It has got its own moral, social and political benefits. It is obligatory for every Muslim expect women, children, seriously ill people and travelers. They can pray Jumah but it is not obligatory on them.

Prophet Muhammad (saw) has given a strong warning to a person who leaves his Jumah prayer without a good reason. In one hadith Abdullah Bin Masud (ra) narrates what the Messenger of Allah (saw) once said about the people who did not come to the Friday Prayer without a good reason.

"I wish to appoint someone to lead the prayer and myself go to the house of those who missed the Friday Prayer and set fire to their houses with the occupants in them." (Muslim, Ahmad)


Another hadith states, "A person who leaves 3 Friday Prayers consecutively, Allah puts a seal on his heart." (Ahmad, Tirmizi, Abu Dawud)

Hadith About Peace

The lives of the practitioners of other religions in the Muslim society was also given protective status. The Prophet ( peace and blessings be upon Him) said :
"Whoever kills a person who has a truce with the Muslims will never smell the fragrance of Paradise." (Saheeh Muslim)


Since the upper hand was with the Muslims, the Prophet strictly warned against any maltreatment of people of other faiths. He said :
"Beware ! Whoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority, or curtails their rights, or burdens them with more than they can bear, or bear, or takes anything from them against their free will; I (Prophet Muhammad) will complain against the person on the Day of Judgment." (Abu Dawud)

Do not Suicide

Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said :
"Whoever throws himself down from a mountain and kills himself will be throwing himself down in the Fire of Hell forever and ever. Whoever drinks poison and kills himself will be sipping it in the Fire of Hell forever and ever. Whoever kills himself with piece of iron will have that iron in his hand, thrusting it into his belly in the fire of Hell forever and ever." [Sahih Bukhaari :5442, Muslim : 109]

Parent

During the funeral of his Mother
Al Harith Al Akli (radiAllahu anhu) weeped.
When asked for the reason of his tears he said : "Why should I not cry when one of my doors to Paradise has now closed ?"

Every people of the world please love your parents and take care them..

Grave's Call

Once when he was seated near a grave, the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alayhi wasallam) said: "Every grave proclaims in the most horrific voice, 'O progeny of Adam ! Have you forgotten me ? I am the house of loneliness. I am a strange land of wilderness ! I am a hole of mites and worms. I am a place of hardship and trial, save those fortunate ones for whom Allah makes me commodious and wide. I am for all other human beings a tortuous place." In addition, the Prophet (saw) said : "The grave is either one of the pits of Hell or a small flower garden out of the gardens of Paradise." [Tabarani]

Take heed from the sight of the graveyard and develop the habit of concentrating your thoughts and imaginative powers on meditating life after death.

Verse

Do people think they will  be left alone because they say: " We believe," and will not be tested.

Gender roles in Islam

The Quran expresses two main views on the role of wome. It states that women are not equal to men in terms of  inheritance, but men and women before God are equal in terms of their religious duties ( i.e. belief in God and his messenger, praying, fasting, paying zakat (charity), making hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah/Median) and places them "under" the care of men (i.e. men are life, but not identical. Surah An-Nisa' 4:1 states that men and women are created from single soul (nafs wahidah). One person does not come before the other, one is not superior to the other, and one is not the derivative of the other. A woman is not created for the purpose of a man. Rather, they are both created for mutual benefit of each other.

Also, in the Quran it's indicated that all of mankind is made from a single soul. Also, they were equal in destiny when they were ordered by God not to eat from the forbidden tree, which resulted in their exile from heaven because of the temptations of the devil "Satan", not by the temptation of EVE.
