Jummah Mubarak sis!
We made it to Friday, Alhamdullilah! We pray your Eid went well! Your Eid fits were giving too, don’t think we ain’t peep it! (Big Purrrrrrrrr)
Surah Al-Jumu’ah 62:9 (Friday)
يٰۤاَيُّهَا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا نُوۡدِىَ لِلصَّلٰوةِ مِنۡ يَّوۡمِ الۡجُمُعَةِ فَاسۡعَوۡا اِلٰى ذِكۡرِ اللّٰهِ وَذَرُوا الۡبَيۡعَ ؕ ذٰ لِكُمۡ خَيۡرٌ لَّـكُمۡ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ
“Believers, when the call for Prayer is made on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and give up all trading. That is better for you, if you only knew.”
During this revelation, people were being negligent when hearing the call to the Prayer. They would not hasten to it but would remain occupied elsewhere (examples: trade and business transactions). Allah (swt) sent down this verse to make the people realize and appreciate the importance of the call, the Prayer, and to exhort them to hasten to perform it as a duty. Allah swt enjoined Prophet (saw) and certain commands which were not revealed in the Quran, and these commands were also as obligatory as those revealed in the Quran itself. The call to the Prayer is the same as adhan which is being called the world over five times daily in every mosque. But neither its words have been stated anywhere in the Quran nor the method of calling the people to the Prayer has been taught. Its method was prescribed by the Prophet (saw). The Quran has only confirmed it twice, here and in Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 58. This particular Prayer of Friday, which Muslims of the entire world are performing has neither been enjoined in the Quran nor its time and method of performance described anywhere. This was also prescribed by the Prophet (saw), and this verse of the Quran was revealed only to stress its importance and obligatory nature.

Masjid Al-Jummah
Do you know about Masjid Al- Jummah?
Masjid al-Jummah is a mosque located on the site where the Prophet (saw) led the first prayer after his arrival in Madinah. During the Hijrah from Mecca to Madinah, on the 12th of Rabi' al-Awwal, Year 1 of the Hijri calendar, Muhammad (saw) and other Muhajirun (emigrants from Mecca to Medina) stopped by Quba for four days. On the morning of Friday, they resumed the route to Madinah, stopped in the region of Wadi Ranuna', and fulfilled the prayer of Jumu'ah prayer. This region is called Jumuʿah today.
The mosque you see today is the current version after a number of renovations. The mosque was originally built by stone, but Alhamdulliah restored for many to witness as a historical Islamic landmark.
