 Auto-generated transcript:In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and peace and blessings be upon the honourable Prophet and the messengers. Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and may he be the protector of the light, for him is much, much. My brothers and sisters, a friend of mine asked me to speak about the special nature of Salatul Jum'ah, because there is all kinds of confusion about how it is to be prayed and the rules that pertain to it, and so to clarify any of those doubts. Now the Jum'ah, Salatul Jum'ah is a special prayer with its own rules. Jum'ah is not Dhuhr. It's a special prayer that is prayed instead of and in the place of Dhuhr. Among its rules are the following. Number one, Jum'ah is prayed only in congregation, only in Jama'at. You cannot pray Jum'ah on your own. If you can't find a congregation, a Jama'at for Jum'ah, then you have to pray Dhuhr Salat instead of Jum'ah. In Jum'ah, there is a Khutbah before the Salat. This is in two parts, with a sitting between them. Number three, Jum'ah Salat is prayed aloud, where the Imam recites the Quran aloud and not silently, as in Dhuhr. Number four, when you go for Jum'ah, you enter the Masjid and pray two rak'ahs Nafil Salat as Tahiyyat. You sit and wait for the Khutbah to begin. In this time, you read Quran or you make dhikr or you pray Nafil. Then, when the Imam ascends the mimbar, you look at the Imam and listen intently to the Khutbah. The rules for this are the same as the rules for Salah. That is, you remain silent. You do not do anything other than listening to the Khutbah. You are not even allowed to read Quran or make dhikr when the Khutbah is going on. You are not allowed to speak to anyone. You are not allowed to say Salam or return someone else's Salam, which is otherwise Fard. You are not allowed to even tell someone else who is speaking to remain silent. If you speak, your entire Jum'ah becomes invalid. Number six, the Khutbah ends with the Imam commanding, You then stand up and you pray two rak'ahs Fard for Jum'ah behind the Imam. Please note that this is not Dhuhr. This is Salatul Jum'ah, which Allah SWT commanded us to pray in Suratul Jum'ah. Number seven, after you complete the Fard of Jum'ah, you pray four rak'ah Salah if you pray in the Masjid, and two rak'ahs if you leave the Masjid immediately after the Fard of Jum'ah. Number eight, there is no Jum'ah, there is no Sunnah before Jum'ah. People can pray as many Nafl Salah as they wish, but there is no Sunnah before Jum'ah because Jum'ah is a special Salah. It is not Dhuhr. In Dhuhr, there is four rak'ahs before the Fard Salah, but not in the Fard Salah. But not in Jum'ah. Number nine, the time that is given to pray four rak'ahs Sunnah before Jum'ah is essentially incorrect and has no basis. As I said, people are free to pray as many Nafl rak'ahs as they want. But for someone to announce that you can now pray your Sunnah, this has no basis. Number nine, the time that is given to pray four rak'ahs Sunnah, that's why I said it's incorrect. Now, number ten, some ulama have said that Jum'ah is in addition to Dhuhr. So, they prescribe four rak'ahs before the Fard of Jum'ah and four rak'ahs plus two rak'ahs after the Fard. This, wallahu a'alam, as far as I know, has no basis. It is forbidden to speak during the Khutbah. The majority of the scholars are of the opinion that it is obligatory to be silent during the Khutbah and one is not to indulge in conversation during the Khutbah, not even if it is to order someone else to do something good or to stop some evil. Amr ibn Maruf and Nahiyal Munkar, even this is not allowed. And this rule applies whether or not the person is sitting in the mosque can actually hear the Khutbah. So, even if you are sitting in the mosque in a place, maybe there is no mic or something, it's a big mosque and you are sitting in a place where you cannot actually hear the Khutbah, still you follow all these rules. You don't speak, you don't tell anyone not to speak and you don't say anything to someone, do this, do that. Ibn Abbas reports that Rasulullah said, whoever speaks in Jumu'ah while the Imam is delivering the Khutbah is like a donkey who is carrying books and for those who tell him to be quiet, there is no reward for the Jumu'ah. And this is narrated by Imam Ahmad, Imam Ibn Abi Shaybah, Al-Bazar, Al-Tabarani and so on. Ibn al-Hajar al-Naskalani in Bulugh al-Maram, he said, there is no fault in its sin. Abdullah bin Amr reports that the Messenger of Allah said, there are three types of people who attend the Jumu'ah. One, a man who is present but speaks during the Khutbah and that is his portion of the prayer. That means after he has spoken, there is no reward for him. Two, a man who is present and makes dua, in his case, Allah may give him what he asks. If he wishes or he may not give him what he asks. Three, a person who is present and ...
