ذِكْرُ اللهِ
This verse invites us to respond to the call to Friday prayer by turning to Allah.
فَٱسۡعَوۡاْ إِلَىٰ ذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ وَذَرُواْ ٱلۡبَيۡعَۚ
Hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave trade.
Quran, Al-Jumu'a 62:9
This verse addresses the believers. When the call to Friday prayer is made, it asks them to hasten to the remembrance of Allah and to leave aside commercial activities. This shows the importance of prioritizing prayer over worldly occupations. In our daily lives, we can apply this by setting aside our tasks to focus on prayer. Even if we are not at the market, we can leave our screens and concerns to answer the call.
Today, at prayer time, turn off your notifications and spend a few minutes focusing solely on the remembrance of Allah.
