The Power of Attending Friday Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the importance of attending Friday prayer and listening to the Khutbah attentively, and how it can lead to forgiveness of minor sins.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah said, "If anyone performs Wudu' properly, then comes to the Friday prayer, listens to the Khutbah (religious talk) attentively and keeps silent, his (minor) sins between that 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.
وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله، ‏:‏ ‏ "‏من توضأ فأحسن الوضوء ثم أتي الجمعة، فاستمع وأنصت، غفر له ما بينه وبين الجمعة وزيادة ثلاثة أيام، ومن مس الحصى، فقد لغا‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of attending the weekly congregational prayer on Fridays, known as Salatul Jum'ah. It encourages Muslims to perform wudu properly before coming for this prayer, listen attentively to the khutbah or religious talk given by an Imam or leader, and remain silent throughout. Doing so will result in forgiveness for minor sins committed between that particular Friday and the following one, plus three more days. However, if someone touches pebbles during this time then their reward will be interrupted. This hadith teaches us that we should take advantage of this special day every week by performing our prayers with full concentration and devotion in order to gain its rewards from Allah SWT.
