Salaams brother,

Thanks for correcting me. It is not Salaat alJuma but alSalaat on Juma day which is the day of gathering/meeting.


May Allah bless you,

mmKhan,

So are you saying that you believe the word "wusta" to be referring to the Juma prayer on Fridays?

So then, the meaning "central" is not implying a time or place, but a level of importance? 

Peace,

Amina

Peace,

Peace Amina,

Yes not implying a time or place, and I did not use the word central because it may show you a level of importance, so, I used middle instead. To me, all Salaats are important, no important than other because all are for Allah. What could be the reason of making any Salaat important over other Salaats? I don't see any reason.

But alSalaat on Juma or day of meeting is important because of added Allah's zikr [remembrance of Allah] before Salaat.

62:9 یٰۤاَیُّہَا الَّذِیۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡۤا اِذَا نُوۡدِیَ لِلصَّلٰوۃِ مِنۡ یَّوۡمِ الۡجُمُعَۃِ فَاسۡعَوۡا اِلٰی ذِکۡرِ اللّٰہِ وَ ذَرُوا الۡبَیۡعَ ؕ ذٰلِکُمۡ خَیۡرٌ لَّکُمۡ اِنۡ کُنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ
62:9 O you who have believed, when is called for the prayer on the day of gathering/meeting, then proceed to the remembrance of Allah and leave selling. That is better for you, if you only knew.

Please note that for remembrance of Allah, we have to leave selling and hasten to join in and it is also said, that is better for you if you knew.

Another aayat showing the importance of remembrance of Allah is 29:45.

29:45 اُتۡلُ مَاۤ اُوۡحِیَ اِلَیۡکَ مِنَ الۡکِتٰبِ وَ اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوۃَ ؕ اِنَّ الصَّلٰوۃَ تَنۡہٰی عَنِ الۡفَحۡشَآءِ وَ الۡمُنۡکَرِ ؕ وَ لَذِکۡرُ اللّٰہِ اَکۡبَرُ ؕ وَ اللّٰہُ یَعۡلَمُ مَا تَصۡنَعُوۡنَ
29:45 Recite, what has been revealed to you of the Book and establish prayer. Indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of Allah is greater. And Allah knows that which you do.

I apologize.  I thought it was you who said that "wusta" meant "central."

Peace Amina,

That is OK, no need to apologize. We may mistake when studying different opinions by different people.

mmkhan, Salaams
Where does the word "Juma" occur in 62:9? I see yaum ul jumuah (day of gathering), but no reference to "juma".
