Yet, he postponed that appeal to Friday early dawn so as to guarantee response.Īgain, Imam al-sadiq (as) is reported as saying that on Friday nights, fishes in oceans and beasts in wildernesses raise their heads and pray Almighty Allah saying in a loud sound, “O Our Lord torture us not for the sins of the human beings.” Imam al-sadiq (as) is also reported as narrating that when Prophet Joseph’s brothers asked their father, Prophet Jacob, to ask Almighty Allah’s forgiveness of their faults, he promised to do that. Imam al-sadiq (as) is also reported, in a validly reported tradition, to have said, “When a believing individual prays to Him for granting him his request, Almighty Allah may postpone the answer of that request to Friday in order that the individual will be given all the more due to the exclusive merit of Fridays.” Most surely, Allah is Ample-giving and All-generous.”

Friday daytimes are as same as Friday nights therefore, you may, when possible, stay up supplicating and offering prayers to Almighty Allah Who, at that night, orders the angels to descend to the lower sky in order to double up the rewards and erase the evildoings. Certainly, on Fridays, Almighty Allah doubles up the rewards (of good deeds), erases forgivingly punishments (for evildoings), and raises the ranks (of faith). Therefore, beware of violating Fridays’ sanctity through showing shortcoming in acts of worship rather, seek nearness to Almighty Allah by means of righteous deeds and abandonment of all forbidden acts. Imam al-sadiq (as) is also reported as saying, “Verily, Fridays enjoy rights (incumbent upon people). Imam Ja`far al-sadiq (`a) is reported to have said, “One who dies in the period between midday on Thursdays and midday on Fridays will be released, by Almighty Allah, from pressure in graves.”

In this connection, the Holy Prophet (¥) is reported to have said, “Surely, in each hour of the twenty-four hours of the Friday day and night, Almighty Allah releases from Hellfire six hundred thousand persons.”

Therefore, beware of violating Fridays’ sanctity through showing shortcoming in acts of worship rather, seek nearness to Almighty Allah by means of righteous deeds and abandonment of all forbidden acts.Ĭertainly, on Fridays, Almighty Allah doubles up the rewards (of good deeds), erases forgivingly punishments (for evildoings), and raises the ranks (of faith)įriday days and nights excel the other days and nights in standing, honor, and regard. Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) says,“Verily, Fridays enjoy rights (incumbent upon people).
