Truth about which they disputed. They were commanded to celebrate this day but
they differed among themselves about it. So God guided us to it. He said: “Friday, is for us
and tomorrow is for the Jews and after tomorrow is for the Christians.” (Sahih Muslim).
Allah, the Almighty, specified the Friday prayer in this day. Every week Muslims pray and
meet to listen to the Friday speech and preaching. Allah, the Exalted, specified a great re-
ward to Muslims who attend Friday prayer early. It was narrated that Abu Huraira said that

him) said: “Perform your prayer in the same manner you had seen me doing”. (Sahih Al-
