:) Jumah Mubarak
Allah (swt), the Exalted, says:
"Then when the (Jumu`ah) Salaah is ended, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah (by working) and remember Allah (swt) much: so that you may be successful.'' (62:10)
1147. Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (swt) Nabi Muhammad (saw) said, "The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On that day Adam (AS) was created, he was admitted to Jannah, and he was expelled there from.'' [Muslim].
1156.Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (swt) Nabi Muhammad (saw) said while talking about the merits of Friday, "There is a time on Friday at which a Muslim, while he (or she) is performing Salat and is supplicating, will be granted whatever he (or she) is supplicating for.'' And Nabi Muhammad (saw) pointed with his hand to indicate that this period of time is very short. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith mentions another distinction of Jumu`ah, namely a moment in which every prayer that a person then makes is granted with the condition that what one is asking for is good and lawful. It is a very short moment and its time has also not been revealed. For this reason one should remember Allah (swt) frequently and pray to Him on Jumu`ah so that one attains that moment when prayers are answered. Prayers can also be answered outside Salaah if one happens to be supplicating at the specified moment.
