Friday was preferred in addition to its night in Islam, and was designated for many acts of worship, including: supplication on the night and day of Friday. Friday night is subordinate to Friday, which is preferred over all other days, as evidenced by the saying of the Messenger - peace and blessings be upon him -: “The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. Adam was created, and in him he was admitted to Paradise, and in him he was expelled from it.”[1][2] Therefore, it is advisable for a Muslim to draw closer to his Lord by praying on the night and on Friday with many supplications, including: “O God, guide me among those whom You have guided, and protect me among those whom You have pardoned, and take care of me among those whom You have taken care of, and bless for me what You have given and strengthen me.” The evil of what you have decreed is that you decree and it will not be decreed for you.”[3]
