YOGYAKARTA - Friday night is one of the special nights, where Allah SWT opens the doors of heaven and grants the prayers of His servants. So it's not uncommon for many people to do their deeds on Friday night.

Many hadiths mention the priority of Friday night, one of which is the recommendation to increase worship and charity. With sincere and sincere intentions, these practices will bring great blessings and rewards.

Friday, as a special day in Islam, keeps a myriad of virtues. Reporting from the West Java NU page, in a hadith narrated by Imam Syafi'i and Imam Ahmad, it is stated that Friday is a "king of all days" in the sight of Allah.

The privilege of Friday is so great, even beyond Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Several important events in Islamic history also occurred on Fridays, such as the creation of Prophet Adam and his death.

In addition, there is a mustajab time on Friday where a servant's prayer will be answered, as long as he does not ask for sins or decide on friendship.

One of the practices recommended on Friday night is to increase dhikr and pray. In addition to praying for ourselves, we can also take advantage of this time to be wary or istighosah, ask Allah SWT through the intermediaries of the prophet, priests, or pious people, for the good of us and our loved ones.
