Friday Rites

Signifance of Friday
After Friday Salaat-ul Fajr
It has been narrated that one who, after the the Dawn Prayer on Fridays, does devotional acts and says supplications and invocations until sunrise, will be raised seventy ranks to the Supreme Paradise.
In the first unit of the Dawn Prayer, it is recommended to recite Surah al-Jumu`ah (No. 62) and, in the second unit, Surah al-Tawhid (No. 112).
5. Before opening the mouth with any word, it is recommended to say the following prayer after the Dawn (Fajr) Prayer so that all sins committed throughout the week will be forgiven:

اَللَّهُمَّ مَا قُلْتُ فِي جُمُعَتِي هٰذِهِ مِنْ قَوْلٍ
allahumma ma qultu fi jumu`ati hadhihi min qawlin
O Allah, whatever saying I have uttered this week,

أَوْ حَلَفْتُ فِيهَا مِنْ حَلْفٍ
aw halaftu fiha min halfin
whatever oath I have taken during it,

أَوْ نَذَرْتُ فِيهَا مِنْ نَذْرٍ
aw nadhartu fiha min nadhrin
and whatever vow I have made during it,

فَمَشِيَّتُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ ذٰلِكَ كُلِّهِ
famashiyyatuka bayna yaday dhalika kullihi
verily, it is Your will that is before all that.

فَمَا شِئْتَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَانَ
fama shi'ta minhu an yakuna kana
Hence, only that which You will to have effect will come to pass

وَمَا لَمْ تَشَأْ مِنْهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ
wa ma lam tasha' minhu lam yakun
and whatever You do not will to have effect will never come to pass.

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱغْفِرْ لِي وَتَجَاوَزْ عَنِّي
allahumma ighfir li wa tajawaz `anni
O Allah, (please) forgive me and overlook my offenses.

اَللَّهُمَّ مَنْ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَصَلاَتِي عَلَيْهِ
allahumma man sallayta `alayhi fasalati `alayhi
O Allah, whosoever You bless, then I invoke Your blessings upon him

وَمَنْ لَعَنْتَ فَلَعْنَتِي عَلَيْهِ
wa man la`anta fala`nati `alayhi
and whosoever You curse, then I invoke Your curse upon him.

This act should be done once a month at least.
6.Shaykh al-Tusi has recorded that it is highly recommended to say the following prayer after the Dawn Prayer on Fridays:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي تَعَمَّدْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي
allahumma inni ta`ammadtu ilayka bihajati
O Allah, I am resorting to You with my needs,

وَ أَنْزَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فَقْرِي
wa anzaltu ilayka alyawma faqri
and I am putting in Your presence my poverty,

وَفَاقَتِي وَمَسْكَنَتِي
wa faqati wa maskanati
my indigence, and my deprivation.

فَأَنَا لِمَغْفِرَتِكَ أَرْجىٰ مِنِّي لِعَمَلِي
fa-ana limaghfiratika arja minni li`amali
Verily, I hope for Your forgiveness more than I rely on my deeds.

وَلَمَغْفِرَتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي
wa lamaghfiratuka wa rahmatuka awsa`u min dhunubi
Indeed, Your forgiveness and Your mercy are more inclusive than my sins are.

فَتَوَلَّ قَضَاءَ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ لِي بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيْهَا
fatawalla qada'a kulli hajatin li biqudratika `alayha
So, (please) embark on settling all my needs out of Your power over them,

وَتَيسِيرِ ذٰلِكَ عَلَيْكَ
wa taysiri dhalika `alayka
out of the easiness for You to do that,

وَلِفَقْرِي إِلَيْكَ
wa lifaqri ilayka
and out of my urgent need for that.

فَإنِّي لَمْ أُصِبْ خَيْراً قَطُّ إِلاَّ مِنَكَ
fa'inni lam usib khayran qattu illa minka
Verily, I have not gained any good thing save from You

وَلَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي سُوءاً قَطُّ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ
wa lam yasrif `anni su'an qattu ahadun siwaka
and none could ever repel evil from me save You.

وَلَسْتُ أَرْجُو لآِخِرَتِي وَدُنْيَايَ
wa lastu arju li-akhirati wa dunyaya wa
I hope for none to stand for me in my affairs of this world and the Next World

وَلاَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِي
la liyawmi faqri
and on the day of my poverty,

يَوْمَ يُفْرِدُنِي ٱلنَاسُ فِي حُفْرَتِي
yawma yufriduni alnnasu fi hufrati
when people will leave me alone in my hole (i.e. grave)

وَأُفْضي إِلَيْكَ بِذَنْبِي سِوَاكَ
wa ufdi ilayka bidhanbi siwaka
and I will then confess of my sins before You, except You.

7.It has been narrated that one who says the following salwaat after the Fajr Prayers on Fridays, as well as other days, will meet Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) before he dies:

O Allah, (please do) let Your blessings

وَصَلاَةَ مَلاَئكَتِكَ وَرُسُلِكَ

General Recommended Acts for the Day of Friday
i.Ghusl on the Day of Friday and its Dua
ii.It is highly recommended to bathe oneself, ie, to do Ghusl. In fact, this is one of the most confirmed rituals of Fridays. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings upon him and his family) is reported to have instructed Imam `Ali (peace be upon him) by saying, “O `Ali; wash yourself every Friday even if you have to purchase water with your daily provisions and have nothing to eat. Verily, no voluntary act is better than this.”
Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is also reported to have said: Whoever washes himself on Fridays and, says the following prayer will be pure all through that week:
أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ
ash-hadu an la ilaha illa allahu
I bear witness that there is no god except Allah,

وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَريكَ لَهُ
wahdahu la sharika lahu
the One, (there is) no associate with Him;

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
wa ash-hadu anna muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu
and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin waj`alni mina alttawwabina
O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنَ ٱلتَّوَّابِينَ
waj`alni mina almutatahhirina
and make me of those who turn to You constantly

وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنَ ٱلْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ
ash-hadu an la ilaha illa allahu
and those who keep themselves pure and clean.

“Pure” in the aforesaid Hadith stands for purification from sins or acceptance of the deeds, which is thus moral purification.
In any case, it is important not to neglect bathing oneself on Fridays when possible. The recommended time of this bathing is between sunrise and midday. In addition, the nearer to midday the better.
Another Dua after Ghusl :Imam Reza (a.s.) narrates:
“Performing ghusl on Friday is desirable which is equal to an obligation. Do not avoid it while you are at home or on a journey. It is enough to perform after sunrise but it is better if it is nearer to noon. Recite this supplication after performing ghusl.”
اَللّٰهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِيْ وَ طَهِّرْ قَلْبِيْ وَ انْقِ غُسْلِيْ وَ اَجْرِ عَلٰى لِسَانِيْ ذِكْرَكَ وَ ذِكْرَ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِہٖ وَ اجْعَلْنِيْ مِنَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ وَ مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِيْنَ.
allaahumma tahhirnee wa tahhir qalbee wan qe ghuslee wa ajre a’laa lesaanee zikraka wa zikra nabiyyeka mohammadin sallal laaho a’layhe wa aalehi waj a’lnee menat tawwaabeena wa menal motatahhereen.
O Allah! Purify me and purify my heart, adorn my bath, and make Your remembrance and remembrance of Your prophet Muhammad, peace of Allah be on him and his progeny, flow on my tongue. Make me amongst the repantent and the purified ones.
If anyone forgets to perform ghusl on Friday, then have it next morning, till the time of Asr next day or whenever you recollect it.
iii.It is recommended to cut the mustache neatly and trim the nails, As has been mentioned in narrations, these acts bring about expansion in sustenance, and security from insanity and leprosy. Whilst doing that, say the following :
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِوَبِٱللَّهِ
bismillahi wa billahi
In the Name of Allah (I begin);and by (the command of) Allah

وَعَلَىٰ سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
wa `ala sunnati muhammadin wa ali muhammad
and according to the tradition of Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad (I do this).

It is also recommended, on cutting the nails, to start with the little finger of the left hand and end with that of the right hand. The same thing is applicable to the nails of the feet. Then, the cut nails should be buried.

iv.It is recommended to apply perfume and put on the best of one’s clothes.

v.It is recommended to give Sadqa/Alms, for the rewards are doubled up on Fridays and at Friday nights, as is confirmed by narrations, as one thousand folds as giving alms on other days.

vi.It is recommended to arrange fruits and wholesome meals to the family members so that Fridays will be their days of pleasure.

vii.It is recommended to eat pomegranate before breakfast and to eat seven leaves of endive before midday. Imam Musa al-Kadhim (peace be upon him) is reported to have said, “The heart of him who eats a pomegranate before breakfast on Fridays will be enlightened for forty days. To eat two pomegranates increases the period of enlightenment to eighty days, and so on. It also dismisses the evil suggestions. Of course, to get rid of Satan’s suggestions is to stop acting disobediently to Almighty Allah; and to stop acting disobediently to Him allows entrance to Paradise.” In al-Misbah, the author has said that to eat pomegranates on Fridays and at Friday nights has great merits.
viii.It is recommended to dedicate Fridays to learning the religious laws and instructions, not to wandering in others’ gardens, accompanying the vicious and the licentious, speaking about the others’ defects, laughing and guffawing, reciting poetry, and discussing useless subjects as well as similar matters. Disadvantages arisen from such matters are too many to be mentioned.
Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is reported as saying, “Woe to a Muslim who does not dedicate Fridays to learning the affairs of his religion.”

ix.It is recommended to repeat one thousand times at least the invocation of blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household. Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (peace be upon him) is reported to have said, “For me, no act of worship is more favorable than invoking blessings upon the Prophet and his immaculate Household—may Allah bless them all—on Fridays.” If there is not enough time to repeat this invocation one thousand times, it must be repeated one hundred times at least so that faces will be brightened on the Judgment Day.
x.It has been also narrated that to invoke blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his household is equal (in reward) to seventy times of going on Hajj. & that all sins will be totally forgiven for those who repeat invocations of blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household one hundred times.
xi.Aga Mohinuddin kumaili khurasani in NijatBaksh Giraftaran says that Allah(swt) himself will take care of the person & his family ( like a weekly insurance)if we recites after any salat Fajr/Dhuhr ON FRIDAY the following; Sura Fatiha & Sura Tauheed once & then Sura Falaq & Sura Naas 7 times each

xii.SURAHS It is also highly recommended to recite Surahs al-Nisa' (No. 4)
Surah Hud (No. 11)
al-Kahf (No.18)
al-Saffat (No. 37)
al-Rahman (No. 55
Surah al-Ahqaf (No. 46
Surah al-Mu'minun (No. 23)
Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is reported as saying that any one who recites Surah al-Ahqaf at Friday nights or on Fridays will not be inflicted by dismays in his worldly life and will be saved from the horrors on the Resurrection Day,
and that any one who recites Surah al-Mu'minun regularly each Friday will come upon a happy end and will be granted an abode in the Supreme Paradise with the Prophets and Messengers of Almighty Allah.

xiii.It is recommended to visit the tombs of one’s relatives in general and parents in particular. Imam al-Baqir (peace be upon him) is reported as saying, “Visit the graves of your relatives on Fridays, for they know about those who visit their graves and will be happy for that.”
xiv.It is recommended to dye hair with hibiscus, for it saves from leprosy and insanity.
xv. Friday - Day Associated with the Awaited Saviour, Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him)
Friday has a relationship with Imam al-Mahdi —may Allah hasten his advent— from several aspects. On Friday, Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) was born and on Friday, his delightful advent shall be. Hence, to expect Relief on Friday should be more intense than other days.
In the Imam's (peace be upon him) Ziyarat on Fridays the following statement is mentioned; 'Today is Friday, which is your day on which your advent is expected to bring about relief to the believers at your hands..'
In fact, Friday has been decided as feast day just because it is the day on which Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him) will reappear in order to purify the entire earth from the filth of polytheism and atheism and from the dirt of acts of disobedience to Almighty Allah and from sins.
It is recommended to recite Dua' al-Nudbah Supplication, It is also mentioned to recite the supplication that Imam `Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (peace be upon him) advised to be said for the sake of Imam al-Mahdi (peace be upon him).
from All Supplications related to Imam Mahdi(ajtfs)

Another Friday Dua - Al Kafi Vol 2 pg 577
اللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْني أخْشاكَ كأني أراكَ وَأسْعِدْني بِتَقْواكَ، وَلاتُشْقِني بِنَشْطي لِمَعاصيكَ وَخِرْ لي في قَضائِكَ وَبارِكْ لي في قَدَرِكَ حَتّى لا أحُبَّ تأخيرَ ما عَجّلْتَ وَلاتَعْجيلَ ماأخّرْتَ،
allahummaj-a’lnee akhshaaka h’attaa ka annee araaka wa as-i’dnee bi-taqwaaka wa laa tushqinee bi-ma-a’as’eeka wa khir lee fee qaz”aaa-ika wa baarik lee fee qadrika h’attaa laa uh’ibba taa’jeela maa akhkharta wa laa taakheera maa a’jjalta
O Allah make me submissive, till I surrender to Thee, make me happy by putting “fear of God” in my heart, Do not make me miserable on account of disobedience unto Thee. Write (prescribe) for me freedom from pain, trouble and anxiety, make ready for me blessings and happiness, so that what is last does not come in advance. Or what is urged to happen quickly is not delayed. Give me contentment and an independent disposition.

 واجْعَلْ غِناي في نَفْسي وَمَتِعْني في سَمْعي وَبَصَري وَاجْعَلْهُما الوارِثَيْنِ مِنّي، وَانْصِرْني عَلى مَنْ ظَلَمَني وَأرِني فيهِ قُدْرَتَكَ يارَبِّ وَأقِرَّ بِفَضْلِكَ عَيْني. 
waj-a’l ghinaaya fee nafsee wa mattia’-nee bi-sam-e’e. wa bas’aree waj-a’l humal waaritheena minnee wan s’urnee a’laa man z’alamanee wa arinee feehi qudrataka yaa rabbi wa aqrir bid’aalika a’ynee
Make me derive advantage from the power of hearing (listen to and accept advise and obey), And seeing (discernment, intelligence, and perception of truth); And both of them to my inheritors (children) Give me an upper hand over him who intimidates me, and treat me well through Thy might and power;

اللّهُمَّ أعِنّي عَلى هَوْلِ يَوْمِ القيامَةِ، وَأخْرِجْني مِنَ الدُّنْيا سالِما، وَزَوِّجني مِنَ الحورِ العينِ، وَاكْفِني مؤُونَتي وَمؤُونَةَ عيالي وَمؤُونَةَ النّاسِ، وَأدْخِلْني بِرَحْمَتِكَ في عِبادِكَ الصالِحينَ. 
allahumma a-i’nnee a’laa hawli yawmil qiyaamah wa akhrijnee minad dunyaa saaliman wa adkhinil jannata aaminan’w wa zawwijnee minal h’ooril e’eni wakfinee moo-natee wa moo-nata a’yaalee wa moo-natan naasi wa adkhilnee birah’matika fee i’baadikas’ s’aalih’eena
O Lord, and keep me in that exact state. O Allah! Attend to and take care of me in the frightening hours of the Day of Judgment. Make me leave this world in safe and sound condition, and enter the permanent land of bliss and beauty (Paradise) in peace and tranquility; And join the delightful charming people who have refined manners, intelligent minds and beautiful faces, multiply provisions allotted to me, and to my dependents, also promote welfare of the people and make me sit, through Thy mercy, in the company of Thy upright servants.

اللّهُمَّ إنْ تُعَذِّبْني فَأهْلٌ لِذلِكَ أنا وَإنْ تَغْفِرْ لي فأهْلٌ لِذلك أنْتَ ، وكيف تعذبني
allahumma in u-a’d’d’ibnee fa-ahlun lid’aalika anaa wa in taghfir lee fa-ahlun lid’aalika anta wa kayfa tu-a’d’d’ibnee
O Allah! If penalized (it means) I deserved punishment; if forgiven ( it is because) Thou art (the Most Merciful) Master. How would Thou punish?

 يا سيدي وحبك في قلبي ، أما وعزتك لئن فعلت لتجمعن بيني وبين قوم طالما عاديتهم فيك
yaa sayyidee wa h’ubbuka fee qalbee amaa wa i’zzatika la-in fa-a’lta d’aalika bee li-najma-u’nna baynee wa bayna qawmin t’aala maa a’adaytuhum feeka
 O My Master! My heart is full of Thy Love, undoubtedly, and Thy absolute authority, very kindly, take notice of that, and keep us together with people who are given respite. How much less attention they may pay to Thy commands

اللهم بحق أوليائك الطاهرين اللّهُمَّ إرْزِقْنا صِدْقَ الحَديثِ وَأداءِ الامانَةِ وَالُمحافَظَةَ عَلى الصلواتِ،
allaahumma bih’aqqi awliyaa-ikat’ t’aahireena a’layimus salaam arzuqnaa s’idqal h’adeethi wa adaaa-al amaanatil muh’aafaz’ata a’las’ s’alawaati
O Allah! For the sake of Thy pure and pious friends, peace be upon them, make us preserve true traditions of the Holy Prophet (S.A), And come up to the confidence put in us, to keep safe and watch over the “backbone” of Thy religion (adoration and worship of Allah).

 اللّهُمَّ إنَّا أحَقُّ خَلْقِكَ أنْ تَفْعَلَهُ بِنا، اللّهُمَّ افْعَلْهُ بِنا برحمتك
allaahumma innaa ah’aqqu khalqika an taf-a’la a’aalika binaa allaahummaf a’lhu binaa birah’matika
O Allah! Truly, we are the worthiest among thy creation, treat us in that context. O Allah! Treat us mercifully.

اللّهُمَّ ارْفَعْ ظَنّي صاعِداً وَلا تُطْمِعْ فِيَّ عَدوّا وَلا حاسِداً وَأحْفَظْنِي قائِما وَقاعِداً وَيَقْظانَ وَراقِداً،
allaahumma arfaa’z’annee ilayka s’aa-i’dan wa laa tat’ma-inna fiyya a’duwwan wa laa h’aasidan wah’faz’nee qaaa-iman wa qaa-i’dan wa yaqt’anna wa raaqidan
O Allah! Make my knowledge about thee of the highest quality. Do not let me drown myself in hatred, nor feel resentful; keep me steadfast, within bounds, obedient, enduring.

اللّهُمَّ إغْفِرْ لي وَارْحَمْني وَاهْدِني سَبيلَكَ الاقْوَمُ وَقِني حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ وَ احْطِطْ عَنّي المَغْرَمَ وَالمَأثَمَ وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ خيارِ العالَمِ.
allaahummaghfir lee warh’amnee wahdinee sabeelakal aqwamu wa qinee h’arra jahannama wa h’areeqal muz”rami wah’t’ut’ a’nnil maghrama wal maa-thuma waj-a’lnee min khiyaaril a’alami
O Allah forgive me, have mercy on me, make me strive in Thy way honestly, free me from the heat of burning Hell, from being consumed by the blazing fire, make less what I have to pay back, and punishment I deserve, make me be one of the choicest people for all times.

إرْحَمْني مَمّا لاطاقَةَ لي بِهِ وَلاصَبْرَ لي عَلَيْهِ. برحمتك يا أرحم الرحمين ،  اللهم صل على محمد وآهل بيته الطيبين الطاهرين
allaahumma arh’amnee mimmaa laa t’aaqai lee bihee wa laa s’abra lee a’layhi bi-rah’matika yaa arh’amar raah’imeen allaahumma s’alli a’laa muh’ammadin’w wa aali muh’ammad.
 O Allah! Have mercy on me because have not the strength, nor patience to withstand it (punishment), Through Thy mercy, O the Most Merciful.  O Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad.
The Holy Prophet (s) is reported to have said that one who repeats the following prayer seven times on Friday will be also allowed Paradise if he departs life on that day:   
اَللَّهُمَّ انْتَ رَبِّي
allahumma anta rabbi
O Allah, You are my Lord;

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ
la ilaha illa anta
there is no god save You;

خَلَقْتَني وَانَا عَبْدُكَ وَٱبْنُ امَتِكَ
khalaqtani wa ana `abduka wabnu amatika
You have created me, and I am Your slave and the son of Your bondmaid;

وَفي قَبْضَتِكَ وَنَاصِيَتي بِيَدِكَ
wa fi qabdatika wa nasiyati biyadika
and I am in Your grip; and my forehead is in Your Hand;

امْسَيْتُ عَلَىٰ عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا ٱسْتَطَعْتُ
amsaytu `ala `ahdika wa wa`dika maistata`tu
I come to observe my covenant and promise to You as much as I can.

اعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ
a`udhu biridaka min sharri ma sana`tu
I take refuge in Your pleasure against the evil of my deeds.

ابُوءُ بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَابُوءُ بِذَنْبِي
abu'u bini`matika wa abu'u bidhanbi
I acknowledge Your favors and confess of my sins.

وَأَنْ تُرَدِّدَ رُوحِي فِي الْعَذَابِ بِنُورِكَ الْمَحْجُوبِ عَنْ كُلِّ نَاظِرٍ نَوِّرْ قَلْبِي
فَإِنِّي أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَفِي قَبْضَتِكَ وَلَا رَبَّ لِي سِوَاكَ.

فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ الذَّلِيلُ الْمُعْتَرِفُ بِذَنْبِي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي حَطَّهَا عَنِّي وَتَخْلِيصِي مِنَ الْأَدْنَاسِ وَالْأَرْجَاسِ.
إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي قَدِ انْقَطَعْتُ عَنْ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى وَاسْتَغْنَيْتُ بِكَ عَنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا مُتَعَرِّضاً لِمَعْرُوفِكَ
أَعْطِنِي مِنْ مَعْرُوفِكَ مَعْرُوفاً تُغْنِينِي بِهِ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ.

Friday 2 Rakat Salat, after Salaat-ul Dhuhr
In his book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid, Shaykh al-Tusi says that the Holy Imams, peace be upon them, are reported to have said: When one offers, after the obligatory Dhuhr Prayer on Fridays, a two-unit prayer reciting in each unit Surah al-Fatihah once and repeating Surah al-Tawhid seven times and after accomplishment says the following prayer, one will be saved against all misfortunes and seditious matters up to the next Friday, and will be joined with Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his Household, and Prophet Abraham, peace be upon him:
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ

Recommended Salaats on Fridays
Salat Jafar Tayyar before Salaat-ul Dhuhr

Many other optional prayers are reported to be offered on Fridays. Although the majority of these prayers are not dedicated to Fridays, it is highly recommended to offer them on Fridays. One of these prayers is al-Salat al-Kamilah (The Perfect Prayer) that has been mentioned by many master scholars through numerous authentic series of reporters from Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) on the authority of his honorable fathers on the authority of the Holy Prophet—Allah’s peace and blessings be upon them all.

In this connection, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) is reported to have said: As for any one who, before midday on Fridays, offers a four-unit prayer and recites the following in each unit: (1) Surah al-Fatihah ten times, (2) Surah al-Nas (No. 114) ten times, (3) Surah al-Falaq (No. 113) ten times, (4) Surah al-Tawhid (No. 112) ten times, (5) Surah al-Kafirun (No. 109) ten times, (6) Ayah al-Kursi (2:155) ten times, [And, according to another narration, (7) Surah al-Qadr (No. 97) ten times, (8) Ayat Shahidallah (3:18-19) ten times,] and, after the accomplishment of the prayer,
(1) repeats the following statement one hundred times:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ
astaghfiru allaha
I implore for Allah’s forgiveness.

(2) Repeats the following litany one hundred times:
سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
subhana allahiwalhamdu lillahi
All glory be to Allah all praise be to Allah;;

وَلاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ وَٱللَّهُ اكْبَرُ
wa la ilaha illa allahu wallahu akbaru
there is no god save Allah;Allah is the Greatest;

وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi al`aliyyi al`azimi
and there is no power and no might save with Allah, the All-high, the All-Great.

(3) repeats the salwaat one hundred times:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah, (please) bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

As for him who offers this prayer, Almighty Allah will save him from the evils of the inhabitants of the heavens, the inhabitants of the earth, the devil, and all unjust rulers.
Another Prayer 2
It has been narrated on the authority of al-Harith al-Hamadani that Imam `Ali Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said: If possible, offer on Fridays ten units of prayer with perfect genuflection (ruku`) and prostration (sujud) repeating the following litany one hundred times between each couple (i.e. two) of units:
سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
subhana allahi wa bihamdihi

To offer this prayer brings about a great reward.
A Third Prayer
It has been narrated that Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said, “One who recites Surahs Ibrahim (No. 14) and al-Hijr (No. 15) altogether in a two-unit prayer on Fridays will be saved from poverty, insanity, and misfortunes forever.”

Duas at the Last Hour of Friday
It is recommended to recite before sunset the famous prayer known as Du`a' al-Simat ( Shabbour)

Shaykh al-Tusi has mentioned that the last hour of Friday, which lasts to sunset, is the hour in which prayers are responded. Therefore, it is required to pray to Almighty Allah insistently at that hour. It has been also narrated that this hour begins when half of the sun disk sets and the other half only remains visible. Lady Fatimah al-Zahra' (peace be upon her), used to pray to Almighty Allah at this hour so that her prayers be answered. It is also recommended to say the following litany that is reported from the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his Household):
سُبْحَانَكَ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ
