The Friday prayer (Arabic: صَلاة الجُمُعَة) is a congregational prayer with two rak'as, prayed in the Friday noon instead of the noon prayer, there are two sermons said by Imam of Friday prayer who also leads the prayer. Most of the Shi'a jurists consider praying the Friday prayer, in the time of the occultation of Imam al-Mahdi (a), as an disjunctive obligation.

In Qur'an 62, the importance of the Friday prayer is stated; also in hadith the Friday prayer is referred to as the "hajj of the poor" and leaving it causes the hypocrisy and difficulties in the one's life.

Holding the Friday prayer is one of the signs of the unity of the Islamic society and it is necessary to be held congregational. Considering the political and social content of the sermons, the Friday prayer is a worship which has also a political and social importance.

In Qur'an 62, Allah clearly commands the faithful to take part in the Friday prayer:

In hadith, the benefits of the Friday prayer is expressed:

  • Forgiveness of sins[1]
  • Reduction of the difficulties in the Judgment Day[2]
  • Great rewards for every step to the place of the Friday prayer[3]
  • The hellfire is prohibited from the one's body[4]
  • Imam 'Ali (a) was used to temporarily release some of prisoners to participate in the Friday prayer.[5]

Jurists, referring to Qur'an 62, forbade any act that results in the missing of the Friday prayer. In jurisprudential sources there have always been a chapter of the book of prayer (kitab al-Salat), dedicated to the Friday prayer.[6] Also, writing separate jurisprudential books about the Friday prayer was common from the first centuries of Islam.[7] After the prevalence of the Friday prayer in Iran in Safawid era, the writing of treatises about the Friday prayer took speed.[8] Most of the great jurists have treatises about the subject, criticizing or defending others' opinions.[9] This treatises could be divided into four kinds:

  • The ones that are after showing that the Friday prayer is an individual duty.
  • The ones that show that the Friday prayer is allowed or is an disjunctive obligation.
  • The ones that show that the Friday prayer is forbidden.
  • The ones that the exact opinion of the writer is not clear.[10]

Benefits

There are five great congresses in Islam:

Considering the introduction of important political and social matters in the sermons before it, the following benefits has been mentioned for the Friday prayer:

  • Giving awareness to people about Islamic knowledge and important social and political issues.
  • Unity and solidarity of Muslims.
  • Renewal of the religious spirit and moral happiness
  • Cooperation in solving the problems

Obligation

Shi'a and Sunni jurists have referred to the verse 9 of Qur'an 62[11], numerous hadiths,[12] and ijma' (consensus) to prove that the Friday prayer is obligatory.[13] Some have rejected the indication of the verse, that the Friday prayer is obligatory, and considered the meaning of the verse as the order for the believers to participate in a Friday prayer which is held in the proper state, and blames who despite a properly held Friday prayer, don't participate in it and engage in other activities like business.[14]

The Friday prayer is not obligatory for the following:

  • Women
  • Passengers
  • The sick and who cannot participate in the Friday prayer like the blind, the deaf, and the old.
  • Servants
  • Who fear a bodily or financial loss by participating the Friday prayer
  • Who has a distance more than 2 farsakhs (~10-11 Km) from the place of the Friday prayer.[15]

In the Time of the Occultation of Imam al-Mahdi (a)

Permissibility or forbid-dance of holding the Friday prayer in the time of the occultation of Imam al-Mahdi (a), is one of the controversial topics among Shi'a jurists. Three opinions exists: forbid-dance, disjunctive obligation, individual duty.[16]

Forbiddance

Some of early Shi'a jurists like Sallar al-Daylami[17] and Ibn Idris al-Hilli,[18] and following them, some of later jurists, including al-Fadil al-Hindi, considered the Friday prayer only legitimate when held by an infallible Imam or someone assigned by him as the Imam of Friday prayer.[19] Followers of the fatwa of forbiddance of the Friday prayer, consider the assignment of the infallible Imam necessary for holding the Friday prayer and as the two conditions are not fulfilled in the time of occultation, so holding the Friday prayer is not permissible.[20]

Individual Duty

Although in many of the early Shi'a sources of jurisprudence it is emphasized that the Friday prayer is obligatory, it is not clearly stated that only the infallible Imam or his representative can hold the Friday prayer.[21] Yet all of Shi'a jurists counted the presence or permission of a righteous ruler[22] or Imam,[23] as one of the conditions of the Friday prayer. The righteousness of Imam of Friday prayer is only mentioned by Shi'a jurists and Sunnis didn't mentioned it.[24]

Although the opinion that the Friday prayer is an individual duty, have been discussed among jurists after the major occultation, more or less;[25] al-Shahid al-Thani proposed it seriously in the 10th/16th century.[26] Some jurists, including his grandson, al-Sayyid Muhammad 'Ali al-'Amili, followed him.[27] This opinion became prevalent in Safawid era, especially because of the social and political background.[28] According to this opinion, when the conditions of holding the Friday prayer is fulfilled, it is obligatory just like in the time of ruling of the infallible Imam, and it does not need the special or general assignment by him. Also, it is said that holding the Friday prayer is one of the tasks of jurists in time of the occultation of Imam al-Mahdi (a), just like the jurisprudence and judgment. Most of the advocates of the opinion were of the Akhbari school of thought, although some famous Usulis, like al-Shahid al-Thani, were of the supporters of the opinion.[29]

Disjunctive obligation

Many jurists of the middle and recent periods of Shi'a are supporters of the opinion that the Friday prayer is a disjunctive obligation; including al-Muhaqqiq al-Hilli,[30] al-'Allama al-Hilli,[31] Ibn Fahd al-Hilli,[32] al-Shahid al-Awwal,[33] al-Muhaqqiq al-Karaki.[34] Recognizing the Friday prayer as an optionally incumbent duty means that holdinyg it is recommended by itself, but when someone prays it, it is sufficient instead of the noon prayer.[35]

There are reasons like the fact that companions of Imams and early jurists, did not hold the Friday prayer.[36] The opinion that the Friday prayer is a disjunctive obligation is more accepted among the recent jurists after the 13th/19th century.[37] Generally among Usuli jurists this opinion is more accepted, although some believe that it is forbidden.[38]

Conditions

In the Friday prayer, in addition to general conditions of Congregational prayers, some other conditions are also necessary:

Minimum Number of Participants

Jurists of Islamic sects have different ideas about the minimum number of participants required for the Friday prayer: Shi'a jurists[39] consider the participants must be at least 5 persons,[40] some other consider the number at least 7. Hanfis consider the presence of at least 3, Shafi'is and Hanbalis at least 40, and Malikis at least 12 persons necessary for holding the Friday prayer.[41]

Minimum Distance between Two Friday Prayers

Another condition for the Friday prayer, which the Shi'a jurists and most of other Islamic sects have mentioned, is that there must be a minimum distance between two Friday prayers, or there must not be two Friday prayers in one city. According to Shi'a jurists at least the distance of one farsakh (~5 Km) must be between two Friday prayers, if the condition is not fulfilled, the latter Friday prayer is void.[42]

Place

The Friday prayer is usually held in Jami' Mosque of each city.[43] Some factors, like the development and expansion of cities, presence of different sects and schools, and political and security considerations, cause that multiple Friday prayers become held in one city.[44]

According to Ibn Battuta, in the 7th/13th century, the Friday prayer was being held in 11 mosques of Baghdad.[45] In the Mamalik period because of the immensity of the population, the Friday prayer was held even in local mosques and schools.[46]

History

The Friday prayer became legislated in Mecca in 2 BH/620-1. Then, it wasn't possible for the Prophet (s) to hold the Friday prayer in Mecca, but he wrote a letter to Mus'ab b. 'Umayr to hold the Friday prayer in Medina.[47] According to another report, the first Friday prayer held in Medina by As'ad b. Zurara.[48] By the entrance of the Prophet (s) to Medina, the Friday prayer held by him.[49] After Medina, the second place in which the Friday prayer held was 'Abd al-Qays, a village in al-Bahrain.[50]

After the Prophet (s), holding the Friday prayer was common in the caliphate of the first three caliphs and also in the period of the rule of Imam 'Ali (a) and Imam al-Hasan (a).[51]

Some of hadiths like Al-Sha'baniyya Sermon and some of the sermons of Nahj al-balagha are originally sermons of the Friday prayer.

In the periods of Umayyads (41/661-132/750) and Abbasids (132/750-656/1258), the Friday prayer was held by the caliph or his representatives.[52] The caliphs were assigning the Imam of Friday prayer for the capital city,[53] and the assignment of the Imam of Friday prayer for other cities was the responsibility of the rulers of the places.[54]

Participation of Imams in Friday Prayer

In the view of Shi'a, the Friday prayer held by unjust rulers and their appointed Imam of Friday prayers are illegitimate, yet according to some hadiths, Imams (a) and their companions had sometimes participated in the Friday prayer due to taqiyya (precautionary dissimulation) or other reasons.[55] Sometimes, the opposing parties of a regime were not participating in the Friday prayer for showing their opposition.[56] Generally, not participating in the Friday prayer was a negative record.[57]

Shi'a Friday Prayers

Ayatollah Khamenei's historic Friday prayer, Tehran; Grand Mosalla Mosque of Imam Khomeini

One of the oldest reports about the Friday prayer in Shi'a societies, is the Friday prayer held in 329/940-1 in Buratha mosque, in Baghdad, by Ahmad b. al-Fadl al-Hashimi.[58] Even in the sedition of 349/960-1 in which the Friday prayer of Baghdad suspended, the Friday prayer of Buratha mosque had no break;[59] but in 420/1029-30, by appointment of a Sunni Imam of Friday prayer by the caliph, the Friday prayer suspended for a period.[60] Also the Friday prayer was held in Jami' Ibn Tulun (359/969-70) and in al-Azhar jami' mosque (361/971-2) in Egypt.[61] Also there are some evidences that in the first centuries of Islam the Friday prayer was held in the cities.[62]

In Iran

  • Safawid Period

The Friday prayer gradually spread in the Shi'a Iran, by the time of Shah Isma'il I (r. 907/1499-930/1524). This was because of the efforts of Shi'a scholars especially al-Muhaqqiq al-Karaki for the spread of the Friday prayer.[63] Despite the agreement of many of jurists, including some scholars of Jabal Amel, with al-Muhaqqiq al-Karaki, and the support of the Safawid government, the Friday prayer spread gradually in Iran, as saying the Friday prayer wasn't very common among Shi'a, and some scholars were against the holding of the Friday prayer in the time of Occultation of Imam al-Mahdi (a).[64] Discussions and debates between scholars, about holding the Friday prayer in the time of the occultation of Imam al-Mahdi (a), came to the extent that Shah Sulayman I (r. 1077/1666-1105/1694) arranged a meeting of jurists, so they could reach a result.[65]

Shah Tahmasb I (r. 930/1524-984/1576) assigned an Imam of Friday prayer for each city, by the advice of al-Muhaqqiq al-Karaki.[66] In the time of Shah 'Abbas I (r. 996/1588-1038/1629) the official title of "Imam al-jumu'a" became established.[67] Usually the Shaykh al-Islam of each city had the title of imam al-jumu'a but sometimes scholars who were not Shaykh al-Islam became imam al-jumu'a, for example Mulla Muhsin Fayd Kashani (d. 1091/1680).[68]

The first Friday prayer of the Safawid era was held by al-Muhaqqiq al-Karaki in the Masjid Jami' 'Atiq in Isfahan.

Some of the important Imams of Friday prayer of the time are al-Shaykh al-Baha'i (d. 1030/1620-1 or 1031/1621-2), Mirdamad (d. 1041/1631-2), Muhammad Taqi al-Majlisi (d. 1070/1660), Muhammad Baqir al-Majlisi (d. 1110/1699), Muhammad Baqir Sabziwari (d. 1090/1679), and al-Shaykh Lutf Allah al-Isfahani (d. 1032/1622-3).[69]

Al-Muhaqqiq al-Karaki wrote a book about the permissibility of holding the Friday prayer in time of occultation of Imam Mahdi (a) in 921/1515-6, the book is actually a treatise in the subject of wilayat al-faqih. Some of his students and contrary scholars wrote treatises in the criticism of his opinion or for its confirmation.[70]

Qajar Period

Like the Safawid period, in the Qajar period (1210/1794-1344/1925) the Imam of Friday prayer was a governmental post.[71] Along with the decrease of validity of governmental religious posts, Imam of Friday prayer lost their religious and political importance. In late Qajar period (Iranian constitutional revolution) some of Imam of Friday prayer stood against the constitutionalist scholars.[72]

  • Pahlawi Period

In the Pahlawi period (1343/1925-1398/1979) Imams of Friday prayer, especially in big cities, had official relations with the government, so did not have popularity and the Friday prayer was not common.[73] Some scholars, independent from the government, were holding the Friday prayer and these prayers were popular.[74]

  • Islamic Republic Period

After the Islamic revolution in Iran (1979) holding the Friday prayer became popular again. The first Friday prayer was held with the leadership of Sayyid Mahmud Taliqani (d. 1399/1980) –assigned by Imam Khomeini- in the University of Tehran.

Every year in the last Friday of the month of Ramadan the demonstration of al-Quds Day is held before the Friday prayer.

Selection of Imam of Friday prayer

Shi'a jurists and jurists of most of the Sunni sects didn't consider the presence or permission of the ruler as a necessary condition for the Imam of Friday prayer, and referred to the Friday prayer held by Imam 'Ali (a) when the caliph 'Uthman was under siege.[75] After all, the Imam of Friday prayer have always been a governmental position in the history of Islam.[76]

Hanafis believe that presence of the ruler, or his representative, or his permission is necessary for the Friday prayer even if the ruler is unjust.

How to Pray the Friday Prayer

First, two sermons are said by the Imam of Friday prayer. Then a prayer is said with two rak'as. The prayer has two recommended qunuts: one before the ruku' of the first rak'a, and the second after the ruku' of the second rak'a.

Sermons

Sermons of Friday prayer in Islamic Center Hamburg.

The Friday prayer begins with two sermons which stand in place of the two rak'as of the noon prayer.[77]

Beside the conditions of the imam of the Congregational prayer,[78] the Imam of Friday prayer must have other conditions, including:

  • Having an audible, explicit speech,
  • Bravery,
  • Being familiar with the prudence of Islam. Also the Imam of Friday prayer must be chosen from the most knowledgeable and noble people.[79]

Imam al-Rida (a) says: "the sermons are set, so that God had let the ruler of Muslims to advice people to the obedience of God, and warn them about the sins and inform them about their prudence and about the important news. There are two sermons, so that the first sermon is about the praise and sanctification of God, and the second sermon is about the needs, warnings, supplications, and instructions useful for the society."[80]

Time and Content

According to most of the Shi'a scholars, the sermons of the Friday prayer must be said after the noon.[81] The sermons must contain the praise of God, sending peace upon the Prophet (s), advice to God wariness, and reciting a small sura of the Qur'an.[82]

Hearing the Sermons

People must avoid any action that stops them from hearing the sermons.[83]

Imam 'Ali (a) says: "The participants of the Friday prayer are 3 groups:

  • People who take place in the Friday prayer before Imam of Friday prayer and are quiet and hear the sermons, their participation is the kaffara (expiation) of the sins of ten days,
  • People who participate in the Friday prayer and speak to each other, their benefit from the Friday prayer is just their talking and meeting each other.
  • People who participate in the Friday prayer and when Imam of Friday prayer begins the sermons they begin to pray; these are also acting against the tradition, they are from the people that if they want something from God, if he wants gives it to them and if he doesn't, he won't."[84]

Prayer with Two Rak'as

After the two sermons, the Friday prayer with two rak'as is said. It is recommended to recite the Qur'an 62 in the first rak'a and Qur'an 63 in the second; or Qur'an 87 in the first, and Qur'an 88 in the second rak'a. Recitation of the suras aloud (jahr) is also recommended.[85]

Two Qunuts

According to Shi'a jurists it is recommended to perform qunut in the first rak'a, before ruku', and in the second rak'a after ruku'.[86]
