Overview

Muslim Friday Prayer is a treasury of timeless advice and information to help Muslims experience the beauty of Islam through the Friday prayer. Once a week, believers gather in the masjid, wearing their best clothes and putting forward their best manners, to be reminded of all that Islam offers them; spiritual peace, intellectual enlightenment, and social dignity. In this collection of khutbahs given by Dr. Munawar Haque at the American Muslim Diversity Association masjid in Michigan, believers are invited to reflect upon enduring topics that are relevant for all people at every stage of life: hard work, sincerity, following the example of the Prophet Muhammad (SAS), pride in the deen of Islam, and most importantly, the pleasure of Allah (SWT) and success in the hereafter. The book also includes instructions for beginners on how to conduct a Jumu'ah prayer, including basic fiqh (legal rulings), advice for navigating differences of opinion and special situations, as well as tips for those who are new to giving khutbahs along with Arabic text and English translations of commonly used prayers. Written in a clear and friendly style, this book is an ideal resource for anyone establishing and conducting the Friday prayer in their community.

Comprehensive and inspirational are two words that describe the book under review. The author has skillfully discussed the essential rulings of Friday prayers and compiled one hundred of his sermons given over the years. The topics ordered alphabetically cover many areas of Muslim life, are non-controversial, and are bound to answer the questions arising in the most curious minds...Written in a lucid style, the beautiful collection of khutbahs is lovely, making the message conveyed easy to understand and retain. I highly recommend this book for all. - Dr. Amber Haque, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, Doha, Qatar The book is a thorough collection of what Muslims need to know about a wide range of subjects. It is an excellent read for all, particularly, Muslim youth. These one hundred Khutbahs discuss a variety of essential topics that are vital to a Muslim's daily life...These Khutbahs will allow us to do this and would be great to study in our weekly gatherings or group discussions. We will undoubtedly learn a lot from them. - Ramzi Mohammad, Professor at Wayne State University, Member of International Scientific Signs of Quran, Author of A Muslim's True Life Purpose
