The Meaning of "The Hour" in Going Early for the Friday Prayer

Question:
The questioner says: It has been mentioned regarding arriving early for the Friday prayer, the first hour, the second hour, and so on. When does this hour begin? And was the concept of the hour among the early Muslims the same as we understand it now?

Answer:
No, the hour is a portion of time; it is a portion of time, this hour. The intended meaning of "the hour" is not the hour known now, that it is sixty minutes. No. The intended meaning of "the hour" is a portion of time, even if it is small.
And the first hour on Friday, according to some scholars, begins after the Fajr prayer. That is, one goes to the mosque after praying Fajr and sits in it until the Friday prayer is performed. And some say the first hour begins with the rising of the sun. So he goes when the sun rises, goes to the mosque, and sits in it for recitation, prayer, and the remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
In any case, it is required of the Muslim to go early on Friday. The earlier one goes, the better.
