Importance of the Friday prayer

عَنْ أَبِیْ الْجَعْدِ الضَّمْرِيِّ، وَكَانَتْ لَهُ صُحْبَةٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللہُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ‏

مَنْ تَرَكَ ثَلاَثَ جُمَعٍ تَهَاوُنًا بِهَا طَبَعَ اللہُ عَلَى قَلْبِہِ

Hazrat Abul Ja‘d Ad-Damri^ra, a companion of the Holy Prophet^sa, said that Allah’s Messenger^sa said:

“He who misses three consecutive Friday prayers out of negligence, God Almighty shall place a seal on his hearts.”

(Sunan an-Nasa’i, Kitab al-Jumu‘ah, Hadith 1369)
