Shaykh Ibn Baz رحمه الله said:

“It is not legislated to return the salam during the khutbah.

Rather you must remain silent.”

Majmu’ al-Fatawa (v. 12, p. 339)]

Friday strengthens your heart throughout the week, so do not waste its strength by neglecting it, otherwise your heart will become sick and die.

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever missed three Fridays out of negligence, Allaah will place a seal over his heart."

Sunan an-Nasa'i 1369

Friday Is the Day for Du‘a

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“Jumu‘ah is comprised of 12 portions of time. There is one in which a Muslim who asks Allah for something will have it granted to him. Seek it in the last period after ʿAṣr.” (Abū Dāwūd)

The attack against our brothers and sisters in #Gaza continues.

• Raise your hands and beg Allah to help the Muslims.

• Pray against the oppressors and those who assist them.

• Ask Allah like the one who knows that Allah is All-Powerful.

Do not underestimate the power of du‘ā'.
