On today’s show, we continue exploring excerpts from the Hadith, on the prayer, but focusing on the significance and obligation of the Friday prayer for Muslims, and how it plays a crucial role in nurturing a deeper relationship with Allah. “[…] A prayer is also addressed in the respite between the two sajdahs [prostration]. Ibn 'Abbās said, The Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings of Allāh be on Him, used to say between the two sajdahs [prostration]: ‘O Allāh!

It was said to her, Why dost thou go forth and thou knowest that ' Umar does not like this and is averse (to it). She said, What prevents him from prohibiting me? He said, What prevents him is the saying of the Messenger of Allāh: ‘Do not prohibit the handmaids of Allāh from attending the mosques of Allāh.’ […]”
