With regards to the importance of Friday Service, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that the best of the days is Friday. Call down Allah's blessings upon me in abundance on this day as this is presented to me on this day. In the ahadith it is stated concerning the importance of Jumu'ah that a brief moment arrives during Friday, where any prayer offered by a momin ( righteous person) is accepted. Jumu'ah and Jalsa Salana Importance of Jumu'ah Objectives of Jalsa Obedience Respect Funeral Prayers August 21 st 2015 Importance of Friday service (Jumu'ah) If we, during the sermon, or during our worship this day, focus upon reciting Durood, and call down blessings of Allah upon the Holy Prophet ( pbuh) we should be doing it with understanding and perception and knowledge and praying that Allah may establish the faith brought to the world by the Holy Prophet ( pbuh)...and make us among those who partake in the rewards set aside for those of the Holy Prophet's umma who carry out this effort.

One of the great objectives of our Jalsa is to ensure that the love of God and Prophet envelops our heart. When Holy Prophet ( pbuh) is presented this Durood and prayers, we are granted from Prophet our own prayers. When we convene today and pray in this manner, it will draw benevolence of God towards us. We will partake of the blessings by acceptance of the prayer. Conveying Durood upon Holy Prophet (SAW) through his love will help us attain love for God. During Friday Service, afterwards, and during the next 2 days, recite Durood with great attention so that Allah, bestowing His Mercy upon us, may turn back upon our enemies the evil of all their plans that they have put together against us. We can only fulfill this objective when we convey Durood Sharif upon Holy Prophet (pbuh) from bottom of our heart and reform ourselves accordingly. When we recite Durood we pray that Prophet's Grandeur is safeguarded and enemies ploys are eliminated.

We witness the role model of Holy Prophet (pbuh). Holy Prophet could not bear any difficulties encountered by the believers. We should instil that role model within ourselves. "grievous to him is that you should fall into trouble" (9:128) God has told us to be kind, compassionate to one another. Allah has mentioned the state of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in the Holy Quran: The difficulties of one another should make us restless as per the Role Model of Holy Prophet (pbuh). In the blessed example that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) has laid out before us, we see great examples of paying dues of mankind.
