Friday prayers Timing for Fremont/Newark CA
Adhan: 1:30 PM Khutbah and Iqamah: 2:00 PM
As for the ritual prayer of Friday congregation, [salat al jumu’a], the necessity [wujub] of its performance is based on the words of Allah (Exalted is He):
O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the prayer on the Day of Congregation, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave trading aside. That is better for you if you did but know. (62:9)
It is also based on the saying of the Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace):
If someone fails to attend the Friday congregation [jum’a] on three [consecutive] occasions, without having a valid excuse to offer, Allah will stamp a seal on his heart.
Salam and Durood on the Day of Friday (Yawm al Jum’a)
As we are reliably informed by Shaikh Abu Nasr Muhammad ibn al-Banna’, Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) once said:
Invoke blessings upon me, many times over, on the Day of Congregation [Yawm al-Jum’a], for it is the day on which good deeds are multiplied, and ask Allah to grant me the degree of intimate access [ad-darajat al-wasila]
As traditionally reported, ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be well pleased with him and with his father) once heard Allah’s Messenger (Allah bless him and grant him peace) say:
Invoke frequent blessings upon your Prophet, during the illustrious night [al lailat al-gharra’] and the shining day [al yawn al-azhar], [meaning] the night preceding the Congregation, and the Day of Congregation [Yawm al-Jum’a].
