One of the blessings with which the Muslim nation has been endowed is the day of Jumu'ah, or Friday. The Messenger of Allah, , said: “The best day the sun rises over is Friday; on it Allah created Aadam. On it, he was made to enter paradise, on it he was expelled from it, and the Last Hour will take place on no other day than Friday.”[Ahmad and At-At-Tirmithi].

　　Imaam Ibn Katheer, said, "It was named Jumu'ah because it is derived from the word Al-Jam' in Arabic which means to gather, as Muslims gather on this day every week, and Allah has commanded the believers to gather for His worship, as He says that which means:{"O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for Jumu`ah (Friday prayer), come fast to the remembrance of Allah"}[Quran, 62: 9] meaning be keen to go and attend it."

　　Here are some other virtues and facts about the Day of Jumu'ah:

　　· The believers will see their Lord from Paradise on that day. Anas ibn Maalik,may Allah be pleased with him, said regarding the saying of Allah The Almighty (which means): {"And We have more (i.e. a glance at the All-Mighty)"}[Quran, 50: 35] "Allah will appear to them on the day of Jumu'ah."

　　· Hell is fired-up during every day of the week except Friday, as a mark of honour and respect for the day of Friday.
