THE FRIDAY SERVICE.

“O you who believe! When the call is made for prayer on Friday then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave of work; that is better for you if you know. But when the prayer is finished, then disperse and seek Allah’s grace and remember that you may be successful.” (62: 9Q.)
Great rewards have been promised about divine service on Friday. Jooma prayer is Wajib and takes the place of Zohr prayer.

Khutbah (Friday Sermon)
Khutba is Wajib in Jumma prayer. After the second call for prayer which is generally uttered in a lower voice than the first call, the Imam stands up on the pulpit facing the audience to deliver his sermon. The sermon consists of two parts with an interval of a little rest for the Imam between the two parts. This sermon is primarily meant to exhort the audience towards Allah and His Apostle and to remind them once in every week the transitory nature of this world and the everlasting rewards in the hereafter. Any subject relating to the welfare of the community may be dealt with in the Khutba.
