About this Surah:
This Surah discusses the negligence of Bani Israel in listening to Allah as they became too involved in hedonism (i.e. seeking pleasures). They were given the message and had the book of Allah but failed to follow the guidance. Muslims are urged to keep Friday prayer and don’t get too involved in a business that you forget Allah (سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ).
It was narrated from Abu Al-Ja’d Ad-Damri-who was a Companion of the Prophet (ﷺ)- that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Whoever missed three jumu’ahs out of negligence, Allah (SWT) will place a seal over his heart.”
