Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Messenger (p.b.u.h) saying, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they differed about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in this respect: the Jews' (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians' (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday)."

The Jumu’ah prayer is an important prayer done on a Friday where Muslim men are required to attend the prayers as long as they not traveling, while women are given the option to attend, given their traditional role in the household when Islam was established. To prepare for prayers, Muslims bathe, apply perfume and brush their teeth to make their appearance pleasant to their fellow worshippers. Attending Friday prayers, the Prophet said, is equivalent to one entire year of praying and fasting alone.

The AYCC Jumu'ah prayers are conducted at the Wyndham Vale Community Centre depending on the Daylight/non daylight-saving timings.
