I'm sorry I'm sorry مِّنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ .وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا. وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاً كَثِيْرًا وَنِسَآءً .وَاتَّقُوا اللهَ الَّذِيْ تَسَآءَلُوْنَ بِهْ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيْبًا.

The Muslim congregation of Friday prayers, may Allah have mercy on them.

Let us always be grateful to Allah SWT for all the abundance of mercy and blessings Taufiq-His. As we say salawat and greetings to our Prophet Muhammad SAW. We are still Muslims steadfastness In this case, health and strength are always given, so that we as Muslims who are still alive today, can gather together in order to do what Allah SWT commands in the Al-Qur'an surah Al-Jum'ah verse 9 which reads:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ Allah's blessings الْبَيْعَ ۚ God willing

"O you who believe, when you have been called upon to perform prayers on Friday, then immediately remember Allah, and leave buying and selling, this is better if you know." (QS. Al-Jumu'at, verse 9)

The command to perform Friday prayers comes directly from Allah SWT and is enshrined in the Quran. We should not think of Friday as an ordinary day, just like any other. However, Friday holds greater virtue and blessings than any other day.

Friday is Saiyyidul Ayyam (a very noble day) A Muslim who steps into the Mosque to perform Friday prayers, the angels record it as a reward for each step, equivalent to the reward of one year of prayer and fasting.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"Whoever takes a bath on Friday, then rushes to the mosque and sits in the front row and remains silent, then for every step he takes, he will receive the reward of fasting and praying for a year, and that is easy for Allah."
(HR. Ahmad).

Then Rasulullah SAW said:

God willing فَإِنَّ صَلاَةَ أُمَّتِى تُعْرَضُ عَلَىَّ فِى كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ ، فَمَنْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ عَلَىَّ صَلاَةً كَانَ أَقْرَبَهُمْ مِنِّى مَنْزِلَةً

"Please pray more to me every Friday. Because the blessings of my people will be shown to me every Friday. Whoever prays to me a lot, he will be the closest to me on the Day of Judgment." (Narrated by Baihaqi)

Then, from Abu Hurairah, Rasulullah Saw said

مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَىَّ وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرًا
 
"Whoever prays to me once, Allah will pray to him ten times." ((HR. Muslim No. 408)

Such are the virtues and virtues of Friday. May we be among those who receive its blessings. Amen, O Lord of the Worlds.

The Muslim congregation of Friday prayers, may Allah have mercy on them.

Month Sha'ban The month of Ramadan has come to an end. Preparations for welcoming this holy month should be more mature. Don't indulge in indulgences with food and drink parties.

Thorough preparation involves mental and spiritual preparation. Because fasting is an act of worship that encompasses three acts of worship: thoughts, words, and actions. What we think is what we do, and that's what we practice.

Meaning: The month of Ramadan has come, a month full of blessings, so Allah requires you to fast during that month. At that time the gates of heaven were opened, the gates of hell were closed, the devils were bound and in that month there was a night that was better than a thousand months. (Narrated by Ahmad)
