1. Friday is a good day. There are many hadiths which speak of the virtues of Friday. 2. There are many acts of worship which are recommended for the Muslim to do on Friday such as offering Friday prayer, making a lot of du’a, sending a lot of blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and reading Surat al-Kahf.

Jumu`ah prayer is not obligatory for women and they may pray four Rak`ahs of Dhuhr in their homes. Praying Jumu`ah at home on one’s own is not valid for either a man or a woman. If a woman wants to pray Jumu`ah, she has to avoid perfume and adornments, and not crowd together with men in the streets.
