Jumu'ah Mubarak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jumuah Mubarak For All Muslim People

Jumu'ah Mubarak (Arabic: جمعة مبارك, Bengali: জুম্মা মুবারক) is a traditional Muslim greeting reserved for use on the Jumu'ah, holiest day of the week on which special congregational prayers are offered. The phrase translates into English as "happy Friday[1]", and can be paraphrased as have a blessed Friday". Internationally Muslims use it as a greeting for use on the feast. Fridays are considered a celebration in their own right and Muslims take special care in wearing clean clothes, bathing, and preparing special meals on this day. The term Jumu’ah is derived from the same root from which jama'a is derived, which means "the gathering of people."[2] In the social sense, people take part in Friday prayers in the afternoon before the Zuhr prayer.[3]

Meaning[]

Literal meaning[]

Jumu'ah is one of the most exalted Islamic rituals and one of its confirmed obligatory acts.[4] Jumma Mubarak literally means Happy Friday, where Jumma means "Friday" and Mubarak translates as "blessed". Muslims offer weekly prayers on Friday noon which is sacred to their religion and considered holy day according to Islamic beliefs.[5][6]

Islamic terminate meaning[]

According to Hadith, Friday is the best day during which the sun have risen. It's the day Adam was created, the day when Adam entered paradise and also when he was taken out from it. It's also the day on which the Yawm ad-Din or Day of Resurrection would take place.[7] As this day has its own importance in Islamic religion, Muslims wish each other Jumu'ah Mubarak or Blessed Friday when they go to the Mosque and make a special prayer on that day.[8] When someone wishes “Jummah Mubarak”, Muslims generally just reply back with the same sentence “Jummah Mubarak”.[9]
