TRADING AFTER THE CALL TO PRAYER ON FRIDAY
BismilLahir Rahmaanir Raheem.
ALLAH says: “O you who believe! When the call is proclaimed for the salaat (prayer) on the day of Friday (Jumu’ah prayer), come to the remembrance of Allaah and LEAVE OFF BUSINESSES (and every other thing), that is better for you if you did but know!” [al-Jumu’ah 62:9].
Some Muslims continue trading in their stores and in front of the mosque even after the second call to prayer; those who sell and buy from them also share in their guilt, even if they only buy a siwaak (natural toothbrush). According to the soundest opinion, this sale is not permissible. Some muslim owners of restaurants, bakeries and factories force their employees to work at the time of Jumu’ah prayers; even if this leads to an apparent increase in earnings, they will ultimately be losers in reality. The employee is obliged to act in accordance with the teaching of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “There is no obedience to a created being if it involves disobedience to Allaah.” (Reported by Imaam Ahmad, 1/129; Ahmad Shaakir said: its isnaad is saheeh, no. 1065). The source of our wealth or income is ALLAH, Satan also has his offer of income which only leads to stress and bad ending so don't accept any form of income that goes against the rules of ALLAH.
Let's also remember to recite suuratul Kahf Quran 18, if you can't recite, strive to learn how to recite the Quran as a priority and you can listen to its recitation too but that doesn't represent reciting it in its rewards, take your ghusul, clean your teeth, go early to the masjid wearing your nice clothing, recite more salawaat to the Prophet and apply perfume(men only). Do not hesitate to ask any questions please. *_May ALLAH accept our acts of worship and forgive our short comings_*. Aameen.
