Answer:
Attend jumua friday
prayer
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and
whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness
that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
To attend and observe the Friday mid-day prayers in
congregation is a direct Command of the Lord Who Created; and there is just no
room for an adult, sane, male believer to intentionally miss the offering of
one’s Friday mid-day prayers in congregation in Shariah, unless one has an
absolutely genuine excuse.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 62 Surah Jumua
verses 9-10:
9 O
ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on
Friday (the Day of Assembly) hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and
leave off business (and traffic): that is best for you if ye but knew!
10 And when the
Prayer is finished then may ye disperse through the land and seek of the Bounty
of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye
may prosper.
Your
Question: …..So please tell me what i should do? If I go for JUMA my colege cant
go which is also a problem. Please tell me what i should do in this regard.
If the job or duty one is entrusted with involves an
emergency where a life or death could be effected by their absence….for example
a doctor, or fire services, or the police, or army on duty, etc…..and one
cannot arrange or find another person to substitute their place for the
duration of the Jumuah prayer, there is a chance that their excuse for
reluctantly not being able to attend one of the Jumuah prayers might be acceptable
in the Presence of their Lord.
But if one has a duty or a job which is not an emergency
nor does it effect life or death….but is rather only commercially urgent….then
without an iota of a doubt, that would not be a valid excuse at all for a
believer to miss one’s Jumuah prayer.
Ibn Mas'ud reports that the Prophet (saws)
noticed some people staying away from al-Jumu'ah (Friday midday sermon and
prayer)and said: "I had the notion to order someone to lead the people in
prayer, and then to go and burn the houses of those who stayed away from
al-Jumu'ah."
Related by Ahmad and Muslim.
Abu Hurairah and Ibn 'Umar report that they
heard the Prophet (saws) say: "Those who are not attending the Jumua Salah
should change their ways; otherwise, Allah, the Exalted, will seal their hearts
and they will be reckoned the heedless."
Related by Muslim, Ahmad and an-Nasa'i.
Abu al-Ja'd ad-Damari reports that the
Prophet (saws) said: "Whoever misses three Jumua prayers in a row out of
negligence will have a seal put over his heart by Allah."
Related by Bukhari and Muslim.
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and
follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of being led astray.
