There are several recommended acts to do on Friday in Islam, including:
-
Attending the Friday Prayer: It is recommended to attend the Friday prayer and actively listen to the sermon. If one performs ablution, comes to the Friday prayer, listens, and keeps silence, their sins between that time and the next Friday will be forgiven.
-
Reciting Surah Kahf: Reciting Surah Kahf (chapter 18) is highly recommended on the day of Jummah. If anyone recites Surah Kahf on Friday, light will shine brightly for them until the next Friday.
-
Taking a Ritual Bath (Ghusl): It is recommended to take a ritual bath before attending the Friday prayer.
-
Sending Blessings on the Prophet: It is recommended to send blessings upon the Prophet on Friday.
-
Giving Charity: Giving charity on Friday is also recommended.
