The virtue of Friday
Friday is a blessed day; indeed, it is the best day in the world, the best day of the week. Because Allah Almighty gave it such an important status, it should be honored. It is a day in which we should perform many good deeds, avoiding all evil ones. It is a day on which we should send many prayers to the Prophet (SAW). Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with, related that the Prophet (SAW) said:” The best day that the sun has risen upon is Friday; in it, Adam was created, and during it, he was made to enter Paradise, and on it, he left Paradise. And the Hour will not arrive except on Friday.” (Muslim)
Allah (SWT) said in the Holy Qur’an:” Glorified be He who carried His servant by night from Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the inviolable place of worship) to Al-Masjid al-Aqsa (the far distance place of prayer), the neighborhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him or our token. Lo! He is the Hearer and the Seer.” (Al-Isra’: 1)
We should never undervalue the importance of loving each other for the sake of Allah (SWT) since true love brings closeness and friendship among believers. That feeling of closeness manifests itself in how we care for each other, which consequently earns Allah’s pleasure and love and entry into paradise.
