DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yawmul ahad, 4th day of Muharram 1447AH, Sunday, 29th June 2025.
*_MISSING JUMUAT DUE TO LECTURES OR Work ETC_*. BismilLah.
We must understand as Muslims that Jumu‘ah prayer is obligatory for the able-bodied Muslim man and that staying away from it without any effort not to miss it is a grave sin. What is required is to be very keen to attend this prayer regularly, for it is a weekly prayer and weekly Eid for the Muslims, the greatest and best of the days of the week. So it is not permissible to be heedless or negligent about it.
Almost all Scholars who qualify for Issuing Fatwas have said that:
Jumu‘ah prayer is an individual obligation (fard ‘ayn); it is not permissible to miss it because of working hours study, and the like. ALLAH, may HE be glorified, says
“And whoever fears ALLAH - HE will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect” [at-Talaaq 65:2-3]. From this verse, it's clear that we must make our priority to please ALLAH first before anything else.
We cannot choose work and studies in place of missing JUMUĀH Salaat. ALLAH Azzawajal is the only source of halaal sustenance and if we want to meet ALLAH Azzawajal then we must set our priorities right in regards to our acts of worship. Truth is mostly bitter but we've got two choices to obey ALLAH Azzawajal or over HIS creation. It's an individual choice to strive harder to obey ALLAH Azzawajal regardless of the COST. The truth is that many do not make any efforts to seek off days on Fridays or seek time during working hours to go for the Jumuat. But if you try hard not to miss it and circumstances beyond you cause you to miss it, then hate it in your heart, seek forgiveness and offer your dhuhr in place of the Jumuah and make efforts and plans not to miss the next Jumuat.
*_May ALLAH Azzawajal keep guiding and protecting us from any satanic influences_*. Aameen.
