Masjid Ali Murtada (R.A)-Juma'ah Activities

"Jumu'ah": is a congregational prayer that Muslims hold every Friday, just after noon in lieu of dhuhr. It is mentioned in the Qur'an as:

O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off trading; that is better for you, if you know. (Qur'an 62:9)

And when the prayer is ended, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah's bounty, and remember Allah much, that ye may be successful. (Qur'an 62:10)

The jumu'ah prayer is half the dhuhr prayer, for convenience, preceded by a khutba (a sermon as a technical replacement of the two reduced raka'ahs of the ordinary dhuhr prayer), and followed by a communal prayer, led by the imam. In most cases the khatib also serves as the imam. Attendance is strictly incumbent upon all free adult males who are legal residents of the locality. The Jumu'ah prayer begins with the call to prayer the muezzin makes; then the adhan, which marks the beginning of jumu'ah. Once the khatib has given his speech, he concludes with a du'a, which then leads the muadhin to make the iqama which is followed by the two rak'at prayer.
