The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam said:
šāFriday is the master of days, and the greatest of them before Allaah.
šIt is greater before Allaah than the day of al-Adha and the day of al-Fitr.
šIt has five characteristics:
on this day Allaah created Adam,
on it He sent Adam down to the earth,
on it Allaah caused Adam to die,
on it there is a time when a person does not ask Allaah for anything but He gives it to him, so long as he does not ask for anything haraam,
and on it the Hour will begin.
šThere is no angel who is close to Allaah, no heaven, no earth, no wind, no mountain and no sea that does not fear Friday.āĀ
(Ibn Maajah; hasan by al-Albaani in Saheehal-Jaamiā, 2279)
Subhaan Allaah!
What an amazing hadeeth!
The day of Friday is the MASTER of ALL days, greater in the sight of Allaah than even the day of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Ad'haa!
And there's no creature in the heavens and the earth except that they fear that the Hour will come that day!
Yaa Allaah!
The Hour will come on a Friday!
It could have been today.
But it didn't happen.
That's yet another chance for you and me.
So don't take this day lightly.
ā Do realize the importance of this great day.
ā Do as many good deeds as you possibly can.
ā Go to the Friday prayers, if youāre able.
ā Busy yourself with the dhikr of Allaah and read some Qur'aan, especially Surah al-Kahf.
ā Send plenty of salutations upon the Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam.Ā
ā Give sadaqah, even if itās something small.
ā Seek out that āspecial hourā when Allaah answers His slaves and make lots of duaa.
Know that if the day is great, then so are the rewards.
And Allaah knows best.
