Jumu'ah in arabic( الجمعة) is most importand day for 

Muslims.Allah Subhan Wa Ta'la give importance on this day 

because He creat Adam the first person of the World on this 

day.This is the first day of Islamic week.
In islam, this day has more importance then other days of 

week. Every Friday, Prayer of Jummah is offered and for this 

prayer special time is taken. Imams of all Masjids deliver 

khutbah on every Friday.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا 
الْبَيْعَ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ  
"O you who have believed, when [the adhan] is called for the prayer on the day of Jumu'ah [Friday], then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade. That is better for you, if 
you only knew"(Surah 62. Al-Jamu'a, Ayah 9)
From various ahadith, it is proven that Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) used to celebrate this day and He(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)declared jumu'ah as weekly eid for muslims.He(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)used to wear clean and new (washed) clothes, used to take bath, wear fragrance, wear surmah on the day of Jumu'ahThe Holy Prophet Muhammad(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)  described the virtues of Jummah prayer in the following hadith with these words
”When the Friday comes, at every door of the Masjid  Angels stands who write down (the names of) those who come early,then who comes next. When the Imam sits down, the records are closed and they come to listen to The Khutba” (Muslim 1984).
The main virtue of the Holy Jumu'ah are
Allah created Hazrat Adam(Alayhi As-Salaam)on Friday and he was granted entry into jannah(Paradise)on Friday.
Adam alayhis salaam was sent to earth on this day.
Adam alayhis salaam died on a Friday.
The Day of Qiyamah(Dooms day) will be on a Friday.
Hazrat Abu Hurayrah,narrated that Hazrat Muhammad(Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam)said
"On (the day of) Jumu'ah is an hour during which Allaah gives to a Muslim servant standing in prayer whatever he asks for"(Al-Bukhaari and Muslim).

Hazrat Muhammad(S.W.A.L) leaves for Makkah with one thousand five hundred companions


لَقَدْ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ الرُّؤْيَا بِالْحَقِّ ۖ لَتَدْخُلُنَّ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ آمِنِينَ مُحَلِّقِينَ رُءُوسَكُمْ وَمُقَصِّرِينَ لَا تَخَافُونَ ۖ فَعَلِمَ مَا لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا فَجَعَلَ مِنْ دُونِ ذَٰلِكَ فَتْحًا قَرِيبًا
Allah indeed fulfilled the vision for His Messenger with truth. You shall certainly enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah please, in security, your heads shaved and hair cut short, not fearing. But He knows what you know not, so He has ordained a near victory before that.[Al-Fath Verse27]
That is to say, God had decided to let Muslims enter the precincts of the Ka‘ba in peace, with heads shaven 
and hair cut (these being the external signs of pilgrims to the Ka‘ba), and without fear. But Muslims did not 
know exactly how Allah was to let this happen. Moreover,before Muslims performed their pilgrimage in peace, they were to have another victory, a precursor of the victory promised in the vision. In this vision Allah foretold the ultimate victory of Muslims, their peaceful march into Mecca and the conquest of Makah without the use of arms. But the Prophet understood it to mean that Muslims had been commanded by Allah immediately to attempt a circuit of the Ka‘ba. The Prophet planned a march towards the Ka‘ba. He announced his vision and his interpretation of it to Muslims and asked them to prepare. "You will go," he said, "only to perform a circuit of the Ka‘ba. There were, therefore, to be no demonstrations against the enemy." Late in February 628, fifteen hundred pilgrims, headed by the Prophet set out on their journey to Makkah.

Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men[Surah 33. Al-Ahzab, Ayah 40]


مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِكُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا
 "Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but is God's Apostle and the Seal of all Prophets. And God has full knowledae of evervthing"[Surah 33. Al-Ahzab, Ayah 40]
The life of the Holy Prophet, peace be on him, was a life of grand success. In his high moral qualities, his spiritual power, his high resolve, the excellence and perfection of his teaching,his perfect example and the acceptance of his prayers, in short, in every aspect of his life, he exhibited such bright signs that even a person of low intelligence, provided he is not inspired by unreasonable rancour and enmity, is forced to confess that he was a perfect example of the manifestation of Divine qualities and was a perfect man.

Birth Of Hazrat Muhammad (S.W.A.L)


The Prophetsa born in Makkah in August 570 A.D.He was given the name Muhammadsa which means, the Praised One. To understand his life and character we must have some idea of the conditions which obtained in Arabia at the time of His birth. When he was born almost the whole of Arabia believed in a polytheistic form of religion. The Arabs traced their descent to Abrahamas. They knew that Abrahamas was a monotheistic Teacher. In spite of this, they entertained polytheistic beliefs and were given to
polytheistic practices. In defence, they said that some human beings are outstanding in their contact with
God. Their intercession on behalf of others is accepted by God. To reach Him is difficult for ordinary human
beings. They must have others to intercede for them in order to obtain God's pleasure and help. Thus they were able to combine their reverence for Abrahamas with their own polytheistic beliefs. Abrahamas, they said, was a holy man. He was able to reach God without intercession, whilst ordinary Meccans could not do so. The people of Mecca, therefore, had made idols of holy and righteous persons, and these they worshipped and to these they made offerings in order to please God through them. This attitude was primitive, illogical and full of defects. But the Meccans were not worried by
these. They had not had a monotheistic Teacher for a long time, and polytheism, once it takes root, spreads
and knows no bounds. The number of gods begins to increase. At the time of the Prophet (s.w.a.l) birth, it is saidthat in the Ka‘ba alone, the Sacred Mosque of all Islam and the house of worship built by Abrahamas and his son Ishmael, there were 360 idols. It seems that for every day of the lunar year the Makkah people had an idol. In other big centres there were other idols, so that we can
say that every part of Arabia was steeped in polytheistic belief. The Arabs were devoted to the culture of speech. They were much interested in their spoken language and were very keen on its advance. Their intellectual ambitions, however, were scant. Of History, Geography, Mathematics, etc., they knew nothing. But as they were a desert people and had to find their way about in the desert without the assistance of landmarks, they had developed a keen interest in Astronomy. There was in the whole of Arabia not a single school. It is said that in Makkah only a few individuals could read and write.
