Peace of God and His mercy to you.
Today is Friday. It is considered a weekly Eid for Muslims. In this day, people spend their time in both worshiping God, reading Quran, doing the good, as well as visiting their relatives and friends. Friday is not just a holiday, it is also a holy day.
What To Do
Since Friday is an Eid, Muslims are expected to take care of their looks, since they will be meeting God when worshiping Him in the Friday Prayer. The Prophet Muhammad, Peace Be Upon Him, said:
Friday is a special day. Every person knows that God watches him, and in other prayers the person should meet God well. The Prophet, Peace Be Upon Him, said:
On Friday, Muslims are expected to leave their work and go to Friday Prayer. God the Almighty says:
The Friday Prayer is attended by male Muslims. But, female Muslims can attend it. In the beginning of the prayer, the Imam gives a sermon. The sermon is intended to guide people, to remind them to worship God or to remind them of doing something. For example, today's sermon was about the importance of youth in developing a nation and how a well educated and a well behaved youth can build the community. Last Friday's sermon was about the Prophet's merits and his life and his great behavior with his wives. Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, narrated:
