Importance of Friday night and Friday.

* Imam Sadiq (AS) has said: “The Sun has not risen on a day better than Friday.  When the birds of sky meet one another on this day, they greet one another saying: What a good day!” 

*  It is related that the Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) chose Thursday to leave his room for outside fresh air in the beginning of summer and chose Friday to his return to room in the beginning of winter.”
 * It is related that Imam Baqir (AS) has said: “If you decide to give charity, delay it until Friday.”  

 * Imam Baqir (AS) has also said: “Throughout Friday night God calls:

-Isn’t there any believing servant who calls upon Me until before dawn so that I will grant his worldly and spiritual request?  
-Isn’t there any believing servant who repents his sins before down so that I will forgive him?  
-Isn’t there any believing servant whose sustenance is meager and asks Me to increase it before dawn so that I will increase his sustenance?  
-Isn’t there any ailing and believing servant who asks Me to heal him before dawn so that I will heal him?  
-Isn’t there any imprisoned servant who asks Me to free him from prison so that I will free him from prison?  
-Isn’t there any oppressed believing servant who asks Me to take his right from the oppressor before dawn so that I will help him and restore his right?  
 

* Imam Baqir or Imam Sadiq (A.S.) has said:“The believing servant makes a request to God and God too delays it until Friday.”  

* The Holy Prophet of Islam (SAW) has said: “Surely Friday is the master of days and the most glorious day of God.  Rather it is superior to Eid-ul-fitr and Eid-ul-azha. 

Friday has five advantages:  
-God created Adam (AS) on this day.  
-God sent down Adam (AS) from paradise to earth on the same day.  
-God took the life of Adam on such a day.  
-There are hours in Friday when everyone who requests something from God, it will be granted provided that it is lawful.
-Archangels, the heavens, the earth, winds, mountains, and trees fear that the Last Day occurs on such a day.”
 

* The children of Jacob asked their father to request god to forgive them.  Jacob said: “I will ask for you forgiveness from, my Lord” (Yunus, verse 98).  Interpreting this verse, Imam Sadiq (AS) has said:  
“Jacob delayed asking forgiveness until dawn of Friday night.”  
There are two hours on Friday when Duas are answered: one is when Friday leader has completed the sermon and the worshippers are prepared for Friday prayer.
