## *How to Earn 1,000 Years of Fasting and Praying on Friday*
_Aws bin Aws narrated: "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever performs Ghusl on Friday, bathes completely, encourages their spouse to take a bath, goes early to the mosque, sits close, listens attentively, remains silent during the sermon, and walks to the mosque, will receive the reward of a year of fasting and standing (in prayer) for every step taken.'"_ (Jami` at-Tirmidhi, 496)
To achieve this immense reward, follow these steps:
1. Perform Ghusl - Take a ritual bath.
2. Encourage Spouse - Ensure your spouse also takes a bath.
3. Go Early - Arrive at the mosque early.
4. Sit Close - Sit near the imam.
5. Listen Attentively - Pay full attention to the khutbah.
6. Remain Silent - Do not talk during the sermon.
7. Walk to the Mosque - Walk instead of driving, or park a short distance away and walk the rest.
By combining these actions, you can earn the reward of 1,000 years of fasting and praying for every step taken to the mosque. An average person with a moderate step will take 1,000 to 1,250 steps in 10 minutes, so taking a 10-minute walk to the mosque can guarantee you approximately 1,000 years of fasting and praying by the grace of Allah.
## *Additional Ways to Earn Allah's Forgiveness and Immense Rewards This Friday*
_The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever takes a bath, purifies himself, uses perfume, attends the Friday prayer early without separating people, remains silent during the khutbah, and prays what is prescribed for him, his sins between that Friday and the next will be forgiven." (Bukhari)_
To maximize your rewards, consider these other actions:
8. Prepare Well - Take a bath, groom, and apply perfume. (Bukhari)
9. Avoid disturbing others - Come to the mosque before the khutbah begins and don't separate between people's neck.
10. Pray Sunnah - Offer 2-4 rakat sunnah before and after the obligatory prayers including the Jumah
11. Seize the Honored Hour - Supplicate when your prayers are most likely to be answered such as between Asr and Magrib, in your Sujud and between Adhan and Iqaamah of ever prayer (Muslim, Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Nasa'i)
12. Remember Allah - Recite 33 tasbeeh, tahmeed, takbeer, and the shahadah after each Salah
13. Send Salawat - Invoke abundant blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, at least 100 times. (Abu Dawud)
14. Recite Surah Al-Kahf - Its recitation provides spiritual light until the next Friday. (Hakim, Bayhaqi, Sahih Jami')
15. Seek Forgiveness - Recite Astagfirullah wa atububu ilahi 100+ times. (Muslim)
16. Affirm Tawheed - Lailaha illa Llah, wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulk walahul hamd wa huwa ala kulli shay qadeer 100 (Muslim).
17. Pray in Congregation - Attend all prayers with the congregation at the mosque.
18. Make Supplications - For yourself, family, and the entire Ummah.
19. Give Charity - No matter how small, give in the path of Allah.
