Regular Habits for Friday

Sending blessings on the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ; peace be upon him) on Jumu’ah - the Prophet (ﷺ; peace be upon him) said: “Among the best of your days is Friday. Send blessings on me abundantly therein, for your blessings are presented to me.” [Abu Dawood]

Anyone who goes for Jumu’ah should perform ghusl (ritual ablution/bath) - the Prophet (ﷺ; peace be upon him) said: “Whoever comes to Jumu‘ah, man or woman, let him do ghusl, and whoever does not come to it, man or woman, does not have to do ghusl.” [Narrated by al-Bayhaqi with this wording and with a saheeh isnaad]

Read Surah al-Kahf - “Whoever reads Surah al-Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next.”[Narrated by al-Haakim, 2/399; al-Bayhaqi, 3/249. Ibn Hajar said in Takhreej al-Adhkaar that this is a hasan hadith, and he said, this is the strongest report that has been narrated concerning reading Surah al-Kahf. See: Fayd al-Qadeer, 6/198. It was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 6470]

Make dua in the last hour before Maghrib - Abu Dawood (1048) and al-Nasaa’i (1389) narrated from Jaabir ibn ‘Abd-Allaah that the Messenger of Allaah (ﷺ; peace be upon him) said: “Friday is twelve hours in which there is no Muslim who asks Allah for something but He will give it to him, so seek the last hour after ‘Asr.” [Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani]
