[62] Surah Al-Jama’ah [The Friday]
Ayat 9. O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) on the day of Friday (Jummah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allah [Jummah religious talk (Khutbah) and Salat (prayer)] and leave off business (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know!
Tafseer of Surah Al-Jama’ah (The Friday) Ayat 9. O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew! Friday, is primarily the Day of Assembly, the weekly meeting of the Congregation, when we show our unity by sharing in common public worship, preceded by a Khutbah, in which the Imam (or Leader) reviews the week's spiritual life of the Community and offers advice and exhortation on holy living. Notice the gradations of social contact for Muslims if they followed the wise ordinances of their Faith. (1) Each individual remembers Allah for himself or herself five or more times every day in the home or place of business, or local mosque, or open air, as the case may be. (2) On Friday every week there is a local meeting in the central mosque of each local center-it may be a village, or town, or ward of a big city. (3) At the two Ids every year, there is a large local area meeting in one center. (4) Once at least in a lifetime, where possible, a Muslim shares in the vast international assemblage of the world, in the center of Islam, at the Makkan Pilgrimage. A happy combination of decentralization and centralization, of individual liberty and collective meeting, and contact at various stages or grades. The mechanical part of this ordinance is easy to carry out. Are we carrying out the more difficult part?-the spirit of unity, brotherhood, mutual consultation, and collective understanding and action? The idea behind the Muslim weekly "Day of Assembly" is different from that behind the Jewish Sabbath (Saturday) or the Christian Sunday. The Jewish Sabbath is primarily a commemoration of Allah's ending His work and resting on the seventh day (Gen. 2:2; Exod. 20:11): we are taught that Allah needs no rest, nor does He feel fatigue (2:255). The Jewish command forbids work on that day but says nothing about worship or prayer (Exod. 20:10); our ordinance lays chief stress on the remembrance of Allah. Jewish formalism went so far as to kill the spirit of the Sabbath, and call forth the protest of Jesus: "the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath" (Mark, 2:27). But the Christian Church, although it has changed the day from Saturday to Sunday, has inherited the Jewish spirit: witness the Scottish Sabbath; except insofar as it has been secularized. Our teaching says: 'When the time for Jummah Prayer comes, close your business and answer the summons loyally and earnestly, meet earnest, pray, consult and learn by social contact: when the meeting is over, scatter and go about your business'. The immediate and temporal worldly gain may be the ultimate and spiritual loss, and vice versa.
Hadith الحدیث
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: We heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) saying (while delivering Khutbah on his wooden pulpit), "Either some people (i.e., hypocrites) stop neglecting the Friday prayers, or Allah will seal their hearts and they will be among the heedless.''
[Muslim Hadith # 1882].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Jama’ah Ayat 09. O you who believe (Muslims)! When the call is proclaimed for the Salat (prayer) on the day of Friday (Jummah prayer)". "They will be among the heedless'' means those who will become utterly unmindful of the remembrance of Allah and His Orders. Such people are Munafiqun (hypocrites), whose abode will be Hell. It means that negligence of Juma`ah for a long time is such a serious offence that it can even seal a man's heart, which finishes all hopes and chances of one's improvement.
