About this book

This book serves as a manual for the Muslim prayer leaders who deliver sermons in mosques before the weekly congregational prayers held on Fridays. The book is also very useful for those who are attending Friday prayers and listening to the sermon. The author quotes from the Holy Quran, the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the tradition of Prophet's companiions, particularly the first four rightly-guided Caliphs. Allah SWT has ordered Muslims to consider Friday as a holy day and has made it obligatory to attend the congregational prayers for which they are supposed to suspend all business and trade activities. The importance of Friday for Muslims has been fully explained. Arabic verses have been quoted as appropriate with their translation and interpretation in English. Complete introduction to the spirit behind the Friday sermon is given. Samples of sermons are also given followed by special supplications for important occasions. The brief sermon at the time of Nikah (marriage ceremony) is given, as also the supplication for the funeral prayers.
