Act of worship which are prescribed on Fridays.


   Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
 The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
 "Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumua prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven."
Bukhari- Volume 2, Book 13, Number 8 
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said,
   "Any person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in Allah's cause); and
    whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed a cow; and  whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a horned ram; and
    if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a hen; and  whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg.
     When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the angels present themselves to listen to the Khutba."
Bukhari- Volume 2, Book 13, Number 6
   Walk to Jumu’ah, fulfill these conditions for Hefty Reward
  Aboo Dawood (rahimahullaah) reported (no. 345) from Aws ibn Aws ath-Thaqafee (radiallaahu ‘anhu): I heard Allaah’s Messenger (pbuh) say:
“Whoever washes his head on the day of Jumu’ah, and takes a bath and arrives in time, and he walks and he does not ride, and he draws close to the imaam, and he listens and he does not speak. Then for every step which he takes, there will be for him the reward of a year: the reward of fasting it and standing in Prayer.”
Sending a lot of blessings upon the Prophet (SAW) on Fridays.
 It was narrated from Aws ibn Aws that the Prophet (SAW) said:
“The best of your days is Friday. On that day Adam (pbuh) was created; on that day he died; on that day the Trumpet will be blown; and on that day all of creation will swoon. So send a great deal of blessings upon me, for your blessings will be shown to me.” They said, “O Messenger of Allaah, how will our blessings upon you be shown to you when you have turned to dust?” He said, “Allaah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets, peace be upon them.”
