   Hurry to remember Allah

   When the call to the Friday prayer is made, Allah tells us to go to it and leave our games and shopping.

   يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ

   Go early

   The earlier you arrive at the masjid on Friday, the bigger your reward, like giving a camel in charity.

   Listen to the khutbah

   When the imam gives the khutbah, sit still and listen. Do not talk, not even to say "shh" to a friend.

   The Friday prayer

   After the khutbah, we pray two rak'ahs together. On Friday, this prayer takes the place of Dhuhr.
