No but it is a reward for praying in the Mosque

But if you have an excuse then MashAllah

Just make sure you go to the Mosque on friday during Jumah inshallah

Its between the times of 1:00-2:00 in the afternoon

Some masjids do it at diffrent times

But it cant be After Asr.Prayer

okay......Friday is of course the holy day for Muslims.....but it just so happens to be my busiest day..At that time i will be teaching in a school and i cant exactly tell the children to wait in the class....

so..can i perform that prayer a little later in the day???????

selam........peace to you all......James

You are going to have to speak to your boss about this

Jumah For men is a MUST

Men are punished if they donot go to Jumah prayer

hello...sister...and selam.......i understand what you are saying but i don't believe Allah or God will punish anyone if they phsically cannot go to a mosque on friday becuase he or she is providing bread for his or her family..

why>?.....well Allah or God is Love.....and it loves everyone no matter what we do...as long as we understand what is happening....thispunishment thing sounds too harsh for my ALLah.....i know allah understands my situation very well and i believe i wont be punished at all ......the place is not important..God is everywhere and we can only be in one place at one time...

dont get me wrong..this is just the way i feel and im happy with it.....if the situation changes then of course i will go to the mosque .......

peace and no violence is the only way.....

Allah is swift in calling to account but he is also quick in accepting
Repentance.

Allah gives the tafiq(understanding)not me.
