Salat e Jumma (Friday prayer) became Farz (obligatory) in the city of Madina after the Hijrah (migration) of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) from Makkah. This important act of collective worship was established during the early days of the Prophet’s arrival in Madina, marking the beginning of the Muslim community's organized religious life.

The first official Jumma prayer was offered in the valley of Ranuna, near Quba, just outside of Madina. It became compulsory after the Prophet (S.A.W) settled in the city and was no longer under persecution. Jumma prayer includes a Khutbah (sermon) followed by a two-unit congregational prayer, and it holds special significance as a weekly gathering for Muslims.

Its importance is highlighted in Surah Al-Jumu’ah (62:9), where Allah commands believers to leave trade and hasten toward the remembrance of Allah when the call for Friday prayer is made. Madina became the center of Islamic rulings and practices, and Salat e Jumma was part of the early establishment of collective worship in the Islamic state.
