This guide will provide a step-by-step approach to performing this prayer correctly, emphasizing key elements and the significance of each part of the process.

Step 1: Prepare for the Friday Prayer

• Gather Necessary Items: Bring a prayer mat if available, and ensure you have your phone or any materials to follow along with the recitation.

Step 2: Arrive at the Mosque

• Timing: Aim to arrive at the mosque early. This allows time for personal prayers (Dua) and ensures you are settled before the sermon begins.
• Greeting: Upon entering, greet fellow attendees with "Assalamu Alaikum" to promote a sense of community.

Step 3: Perform the Sunnah Prayers

• Pray Two Rakat Sunnah: Before the Jummah prayer, it is sunnah (recommended) to pray two units (rakats) of voluntary prayer.
• Focus on Intention: Ensure your intention (niyyah) is clear for the voluntary prayer.

Step 4: Listen to the Khutbah

• Understand the Importance: The Khutbah (sermon) consists of two parts and is an essential component of the Jummah prayer.
• Stay Attentive: Listen attentively to the Imam’s message, as this sermon addresses communal and spiritual matters.

Step 5: Perform the Jummah Prayer

• Pray Two Rakat Fard: After the Khutbah, the Imam will lead the congregation in the obligatory Jummah prayer.
• Follow the Imam: Stand in rows behind the Imam, following his lead in movements and recitations.

Step 6: Conclude with Sunnah Prayers

• Pray Four Rakat Sunnah: After the obligatory prayer, it is recommended to pray four units (rakats) of voluntary prayer to complete your Friday prayer experience.
