Islamic law has given great importance to supplication and has allocated times that every Muslim must take advantage of and not miss, including Friday, as it is considered one of the best days for a Muslim. There is an hour during which no questioner is answered. In the hadith on the authority of the Messenger - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family - he said: (On Friday, there are twelve hours. Talk about the hour of answering, and in it, seek it in the last hour after the afternoon prayer). [1] The scholars differed in determining this hour based on three opinions. Among them are those who say that it is after the afternoon prayer without restriction, and among them are those who say that it is between the time when the imam sits on the pulpit until the end of the prayer, and among them are those who say that it is the last hour before sunset, [2] and in this article, a group of supplications will be listed that a Muslim can use in supplicating to God Almighty. On Friday and other days and times:
