The Pillars of the Friday Sermon and the Second Sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is Muhammad from Riyadh. He says: Does the Friday prayer or sermon have pillars? Some of the preachers in the mosques make the second sermon consist of sending blessings upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and supplication. Is there a basis for this?
Answer:
The sermon is to begin with praise of Allah and glorifying Him, the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, the two testimonies, then exhorting people to fear Allah the Mighty and Majestic, then alerting people to what they need, and to the violations occurring in their time, and reciting a verse from the Qur'an at the end of the sermon. These are the pillars of the first and second parts of the sermon. However, the second part is mostly supplication; after he comes to these pillars, he mostly supplicates to Allah and increases his supplication for the Muslims. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
