Narrated Abu Hurairah (R.A): Allah’s Messenger (Peace Be Upon Him) talked about Friday and said:
“There is an hour on Friday And if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat and asks something from Allah Almighty, then Allah will definitely fulfill his demands and Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands”.
[Sahih al-Bukhari]In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty explains the importance and etiquettes of Friday Prayer as follows:
“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 trade): That is best for you if you only knew!”
(Quran, 62:9)
The Holy Prophet (SAW) said:
“The best day the sun rises over is Friday; on it Allah created Adam. On it, he was made to enter paradise, on it he was expelled from it, and the Last Hour will take place on no other day than Friday”
(Tirmidhi)
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“If anyone performs Wudu (ablution) properly, then comes to the Friday prayer, listens to the Khutba attentively and keeps silent, his (minor) sins between the Friday and the following Friday will be forgiven, with the addition of three more days; but he who touches pebbles has caused an interruption.”
(Muslim)
Prophet (SAW) said: “
On (the day of) Jummah is an hour during which Allah gives to a Muslim servant standing in prayer whatever he asks for.”
(Al Bukhari)
In the hereafter those who are in paradise will see their Lord on Friday. In Holy Quran Allah says:
“Allah will appear to them on the day of Jummah.”
(Quran, 50:35)
Abu Darda’ reported Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying:
If anyone learns by heart the first ten verses of the Surat Al-Kahf, he will be protected from the Dajjal.

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reports that the Prophet SAW said:
“Whoever recites Surat Al-Kahf on Jumu’ah will have illumination from the light from one Jumu’ah to the next.”

“Verily, the best of your days is Friday. Adam was created on it, on it he died, on it the trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made. Thus, send blessings upon me often, for your blessings are presented to me.”
They said, “O Messenger of Allah, how are our blessings presented to you after you have decayed?”

NOTE:

Frequently today, Jumuah Mubarak text messages are sent. Many of these messages are not authentic. People forwarded these messages because they sounded good, regardless of whether they were inaccurate.
