Jum’a prayer can protect from Hell-fire and will make entered Paradise!:allahuakbar2:
By Mohammad Rafique Etesame
O ye who believe! When the call is heard for the prayer of the day of congregation (Juma prayer), haste unto remembrance of Allah and leave your trading. That is better for you if ye did but know. ﴾Al-Jum’a :9﴿
These verses throw light on the offering of Juma prayer that, when the Azan is pronounced for it, then man should leave his business and other activities and be prepare for Jum’a prayer.
Narrated AbuHurayrah:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created, on it he was expelled (from Paradise), on it his contrition was accepted, on it he died, and on it the Last Hour will take place. On Friday every beast is on the lookout from dawn to sunrise in fear of the Last Hour, but not jinn and men, and it contains a time at which no Muslim prays and asks anything from Allah (what is permissible in Shariah) but He will give it to him. (Sunan Abi Dawud 1046)
Juma prayer is obligatory to every Independent Muslims, adult, resident and healthy, and is not obligatory to women, children, sick ones, or way-farers etc.
However, if women want to go to the mosques to offer Jum’a, then it is permissible according to some scholars.
Allah grants His mercy and great reward on that believer who offers Juma prayer. According to a hadith that, the minor sins of a faithful believer are forgiven due to offering Jum’a prayer regularly.
And Allah has wroth on that believer who forsakes three times Jum’a continuously without any valid excuse.
عَنْ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ الضَّمْرِيِّ، - وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " مَنْ تَرَكَ ثَلاَثَ جُمَعٍ تَهَاوُنًا بِهَا طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ " .
Narrated Al-Ja'd ad-Damri:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: He who leaves the Friday prayer (continuously) for three Friday on account of slackness, Allah will print a stamp on his heart (Sunan Abi Dawud).
According to the scholars,
In the hadith there is threat and warning that is bound with the condition of leaving Friday prayer because he deprecates, belittles and leaves the commandment on account of slackness.
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ»
مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ (الألباني)
Another issue is that when anyone finds jum’a prayer, he should take bath as the following hadith reveals,” Ibn ‘Umar reported God’s messenger as saying, “When any of you goes to the Friday prayer he should bath.”
So, a Muslim should fear Allah and be careful about Jum’a prayer and should not leave it without a valid excuse.
