Sunnah Qiraah For Friday Prayers |
What is the Sunnah Qirā’ah for
the Friday prayers?
There are three combinations
narrated from the practice of the Prophet (saw)
(Muslim, 877). Firstly, Sūrah 62 (Jumu`ah) and
Sūrah 63 (Munāfiqūn). Secondly, Sūrah 62 (Jumu`ah)
and Sūrah 88 (Ghāshiyah). Thirdly, Sūrah 87 (A`lā)
and Sūrah 88 (Ghāshiyah). It is Sunnah to recite
a complete Sūrah in each Rak`ah and reciting it
partially will not fulfil the Sunnah. The great
scholar Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah writes, “It is
not desirable to recite a portion from each
Sūrah or split one Sūrah in two Rak`aat as it
contradicts the Sunnah and the ignorant persist
on this”. (Zādul-Ma`ād 1:381)
