Many Shar‘ texts and the practice of the ‘Ummah both affirm the obligation of attending Jumu‘ah Sal?t on every [male] Muslim’ (1) .

Taking into consideration the obligation of Jumu‘ah Sal?t [on every male Muslim], Ibn Daq?q Al-Eid statements affirm that the opinion that states the permissibility of leaving congregational Sal?t to stay with one’s bride holds no water. (2) And the more worth it, leaving the Jumu‘ah Sal?t for the same excuse!! ‘Jumu‘ah Sal?t has indeed been given more superiority and has more characteristics than any other Fard Sal?t such as: holding the congregation [in the J?mi‘], the least valid number of the praying Muslims who attend it, being in a state of residence is one at its prerequisites, the permissibility of assigning certain place in which the Sal?t is performed, and reciting the Qur’?n loudly in it. In addition to that, a severe threat was delivered against those who abandon it, which was not delivered for leaving any other Sal?t but the ‘Asr Sal?t’. (3)

‘Jumu‘ah Sal?t is a greatly affirmed Fard Sal?t in Isl?m and the most superior congregation Muslims could attend and comes second in superiority after ‘Arafah congregation. Whoever abandons it out of laziness, All?h ( - عز وجل -) will seal his heart.

The more a muslim sits near the Im?m in the Jumu‘ah Sal?t and the earlier he attends the mosque, the nearer he would be to Jannah on the Day of Qiy?mah [Resurrection] and would be of the first to get more credit on the Day of Maz?d’. (4)

Accordingly, every muslim should be keen to attend the Jumu‘ah Sal?t and never leave it for trivial, false excuse for such excuse will never save him from Him who knows every tiny thing.
