The Pillars of the Two Friday Sermons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, may Allah bless you, says: Some of the preachers in the mosques make the second sermon consist only of sending blessings upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and supplication. Is there a basis for this? And what are the pillars of the two Friday sermons?
Answer:
It is not permissible to limit it to sending blessings upon the Messenger and supplication. Rather, one should mention some guidance and admonition in the second sermon. Also, one should praise Allah at its beginning, send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), recite the two testimonies of faith, send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) within it, and make supplication at its end.
The important point is that one should not empty it of reminders and guidance, but include some of that in it. The pillars of the sermon, as mentioned by the scholars, are praising Allah (Mighty and Majestic), the two testimonies of faith, sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), admonition, and reciting a verse from the Qur'an. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
