S05 - Masjids - Amongst all 5 prayers, Jumma is the most superior

Yusuf Circle Sheffield

The best of you are those who have the softest shoulders in Prayer (Abu Dawood). Amongst all 5 prayers, Jumma is the most superior, followed by Fajr on the day of Jumma, then Asr, Fajr, Eisha, Magrib & Zohar (Hafiz Munaweeh rah). No Salah is greater than the Fajr Salah offered with Congregation on Friday, I presume that whoever attends it will be forgiven (Tabarani). Mohammed ibn Serreen (rah), 2 Rakahs of Salaah is more beloved to me than Paradise, for Paradise is for my pleasure but the Salaah is for the pleasure of Allah SWT (Imaam Ghazali rah Mukaashafatul Quloob). The greatest favour for a bondsman in the world is for him to be given the ability to offer 2 Rakaah of Salaah (Tabarani). For the dwellers of the grave, 2 Rakaahs of Salaah are dearer to them than the rest of your world (Tabarani). Whoever prays 2 Rakaahs whilst alone and nobody sees him except Allah SWT and His Angels then freedom from the fire is written for him (Ibn Asaakir). A worshipper does not attain nearness to Allah SWT with anything more superior than secret prostration (Ibn Al Mubarak).
