[MadMark]

The following are the 5 integrals of Friday Khutbah according to Shafi'i Madhab:

The integrals of the sermon (khutba) are five (and their order is sunna)
- (a), (b), and (c) below are required in each of the two sermons,
-while (d) may be in either,
-and (e) must occur in the second, as mentioned below


(a) saying "al-Hamdu lillah" (praise be to Allah), this particular utterance being prescribed;
(b) the Blessings on the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), which is also a prescribed utterance;
(c) enjoining godfearingness (taqwa), for which a particular expression is not prescribed, it being sufficient to say "Obey Allah";
(the above integrals (a), (b), and (c) are obligatory in each of the two sermons)
(d) reciting one verse of the Quran (that conveys an intended meaning, such as a promise, threat, exhortation, or similar) in at least one of the two sermons;
(e) and to supplicate for believers in the second of the two sermons
(which must be for their hereafter, as supplications for this world alone do not fulfill the integral).



Minimal Friday Prayer (Shafi'i Madhab)
http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.a...=1607&CATE=389

The Friday prayer is a two-cycle group prayer performed Friday afternoon following two brief speeches, or sermons. It takes the place of the afternoon (zuhr) prayer when completed validly. Its performance is simple and is explained at f18 of the Reliance of the Traveller. The following is a sample description of its near-minimal performance.

After the time of the afternoon prayer has entered (f18.10(c)), one of the participants stands (f18.10(d)) facing the rest (f18.11(5)) and delivers the Friday sermon, saying for example:

(1) "Al-hamdu liLlah" (f18.9(a))

(2) "Allahumma salli `ala Muhammad" (f18.9(b))

(3) "Ittaqu Llah" (f18.9(c))

(4) "Qul huwa Llahu ahad" (f18.9(d))

Then he sits (f18.10(e)) for a couple of seconds and stands again, saying for example:

(5) "Al-hamdu liLlah" (f18.9(a))

(6) "Allahumma salli `ala Muhammad" (f18.9(b))

(7) "Ittaqu Llah" (f18.9(c))

(8) "Allahumma rhami l-mu'minin" (f18.9(e))

(underlined vowels represent long vowels; underlined consonants represent thick consonants)

He has then completed the requirements of the Friday sermon (f18.9-10), and the participants then pray the Friday prayer together (f18.7(c)).

There are additional sunnas, or recommended measures (f18.11), of the Friday prayer that may be taken: in them is great merit, but there is no sin in omitting them, and omitting them does not affect the validity of the Friday prayer.
