The
Jummah Prayer is a programme of collective Prayer. This is to enable Muslims to
establish a brotherhood between them enabling them to come of good use to one
another and to become aware of collective issues and try to solve them
together. By observing the elders the children will recognise that despite
Muslims having an individual face and appearance they are in fact all chain
links of the same chain, and Islam is a strong rope in which we are all jointly
bound in unity. We stand shoulder to shoulder in the same row because there is
no dispute among us.
The
Jummah Prayer is obligatory on every sensible man having reached the age of
maturity. There is a total of fourteen rakats in the Jummah Prayer. It has the
same timings as the Zuhr Prayer.
The
Jummah Prayer is not obligatory for an ill person, a person attending a
patient, a blind person, a woman, children, a traveller or a handicapped
person, but the Zuhr Prayer is obligatory on them. If for any reason one misses
the Friday Prayer, it is obligatory on one to perform a late (Każa) Zuhr Prayer.
KHWAJA SHAMSUDDIN AZEEMI
Mehrāj means to enter the world of the unseen. When a believer attains Mehrāj through prayer, Angels appear in front of him. He travels through the Heavens, and through the blessings of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) he comes to know his Lord.
