In the introductory notes, the author shares that during the last ten days of Ramadan, he was blessed with the opportunity to perform I‘tikaf in Masjid al-Nabawi. Before entering for I‘tikaf, he purchased the classical treatise “Khasa’is al-Jumu‘ah” by Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti (رحمتہ اللہ علیہ). Alongside other acts of worship, he devoted his time to studying this scholarly work and began translating it into Urdu so that a wider audience could benefit from its knowledge.
Despite facing certain challenges during his stay, he continued the translation with dedication and sincerity. Over several sittings, he not only completed the translation but also prepared it with a modern style of indexing and explanatory notes. He titled this refined work “Zau al-Lam‘ah fi Khasa’is al-Jumu‘ah,” reflecting the illuminating qualities of Friday described in the original Arabic text.
The author also mentions the practical difficulties of writing inside the sacred mosque, where paper and writing materials were not easily available. He wrote wherever possible and later completed the remaining portions at his residence. With gratitude to Almighty Allah, he finalized the work and presented it for the benefit of seekers of knowledge.
Juma tul Mubarak Ki Fazeelat emphasizes the spiritual significance of Friday, including the acceptance of supplications, the virtues of sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the importance of congregational prayer. The book encourages Muslims to treat Friday not merely as a weekly gathering but as a day of reflection, purification, and renewed faith.
