I know that u must pray two rakahs of prayer after the khutba. but I need to know how to preform the part after the khutba and before the two rakahs.Cos its only my third time going to do the Jumuah prayer. and i still havent got the hang of it. the Rakahs are fine, I know the method....but the other part of the Friday prayer confuses me. please help!!!!!!
After the khutba (lecture), the Imam will lead you in prayer for 2 rakat. You don't need to pray any other prayer before or after. However, it is sunnah to pray 2 rakat when you enter the masjid...it's called 'greeting the masjid'. Some people pray 2 rakat after the 2 rakat prayed for the jummah (friday) prayer, but it's not required, and I'm not sure if it's a strong sunnah or not... Also, the friday prayer takes the place of dhuhr prayer, so you don't need to pray 4 rakat for dhuhr IF you pray at the masjid...but, if you pray alone at home, then you pray the normal 4 rakat for dhuhr.
I think you mean the Dou'aa part. That is part of the prayer , but its the spoken prayer when you raise your hands. If you are attending in the Mosque you just need to say Amen to what the Imam says, meaning you agree the same or so say we all. Think about the part where you sit in the middle of the normal Thuhr prayer after the first 2 Raka's, and before the remaining 2, you sit down and recite a spoken prayer, you are basically doing some thing similar here except the Imam reads and you say Amen. The difference being the Imam may add to it and pray for things affecting the society or community etc. In Friday prayer , its 2 instead of 4 because the sermon (Khutba) itself is part of the prayer, so you should not skip it or come late. If you don't understand Arabic ask if there is a translation or in Some places they have the sermon in the local language but I don't know how does that figure as being part of the prayer, because of the requirement the prayer must be in Arabic.
