Every Muslim knows the importance in regards to the Friday prayers. In many a Hadith the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was narrated as saying
“There is an hour (lucky time) on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while praying and asks something from Allah (azzawajal), then Allah will definitely meet the demand.”
And he (the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him) pointed out the shortness of that time with his hands.
I basically wanted to write this just to inform all of you about one thing. When we go for prayers we must go with that intention of prayer alone and not anything else in mind. We see people talk when the sermon or the Khutba is being delivered. What worshippers fail to realize is that speaking during the Khutba nullifies ones prayers.
Chapter 34 Hadith number 56 speaks in this regard as
Narrated Abu Hurarira (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah’s Apostle peace be upon him said, “ When the Imam is delivering the Khutba and you ask your companion to keep quiet and listen, then no doubt you have done an evil act.”
Narrated Salman may Allah be pleased with him: The Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said, “Whenever the Imam is delivering the Khutba, it is essential for the audience to keep quiet and listen.”
So you see that the Khutba is not a just at the moment sort of speech. The time during the Khutba is considered very important as this Hadith states:
Narrated Abu Hurarira may Allah be pleased with him: The Prophet peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said, “When it is a Friday, the angels stand at the gate of the mosque and keep on writing the names of the persons coming to the mosque in succession according to their arrivals. The example of the one who enters the mosque in the earliest hour is that of one offering a camel (in sacrifice). The one coming next is like one offering a cow and then a ram and then a chicken and then an egg respectively. When the Imam comes out (for Jumu’a prayers) they (i.e. angels) fold their papers and listen to the Khutba.”
Even the angels hold this time as a very important time. If you do see anyone talking during the Khutba don’t admonish them but let them just carry on with it as it will our own consequence when we do try to fix them up. Maybe after the prayer is over you could approach them personally and speak to them regarding the matter. Fee amanillah.
P.S.: Any possible errors found in this post is welcome for rectification.
