TO PERFORM PRAYERS
ON FRIDAY (JUMU'A)
You who believe! When you are called to prayer on the Day of
Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah and abandon
trade.That is better for you if you only knew. (Qur'an, 62:9)

TO PRAY OVER SOMEONE WHO DIES
Never pray over any of them who die or stand at their graves.
They rejected Allah and His Messenger and died as deviators.
(Qur'an, 9:84)

TO WASH ONESELF (ABLUTION) OR
PERFORM TAYAMMUM BEFORE PRAYER
You who believe! Do not approach the prayer when you are drunk,
so that you will know what you are saying, nor in a state of major
impurity—unless you are traveling—until you have washed
yourselves completely. If you are ill or on a journey, or any of you
have come from the lavatory or touched women, and you cannot
find any water, then take for yourselves clean earth, wiping your
faces and your hands therewith. Allah is Ever-Pardoning, Ever-
Forgiving. (Qur'an, 4:43)
You who believe! When you get up to perform prayer, wash your
faces and your hands and your arms to the elbows, and wipe over
your heads, and wash your feet to the ankles. If you are in a state
of major impurity, then purify yourselves. But if you are ill or on
a journey, or have come from the lavatory, or have touched women,
and cannot find any water, then take for yourselves clean earth,
and wipe your faces and your hands therewith. Allah does not
want to make things difficult for you, but He does want to purify
you and to perfect His blessing upon you so that hopefully you will
be thankful. (Qur'an, 5:6)
