And now one beneficial point to remember 

if someone asks you as to why we have friday as a day to pray specifically, then 

# 1 Answer is: Allah has chosen this for us an honor to us to worship Him. Allah ordered us to do it and thus we follow and comply that's it. 

Because Islam means submission in literal sense of this single word in Arabic to English translation, and Muslim is one who submits and surrenders to the Will of Allah.

Therefore, our response always with the orders of Allah is: We hear and we obey, not like the JEWS who said, we hear and disobey. 

The companions of the Prophets sallallahu alayhe wa sallam were like this. Alhamdulillah. 

However, there are wisdoms and benefits that Allah and His Messengers informed us and we are happy to know them, if there was none, then we say, we hear and we obey because our belief is that Allah is MOST WISE thus out of His infinite Wisdom He ordered the matter for us, and we believe and submit to that.

I am sure you will agree with me, that how many trails that hit us, if we know nothing about the benefits and harms of them at the on going moments, then certainly we come to know many benefits and harms after the trail was lifted from us. alhamdulillah. You can think and ponder on this and you will know the reality better.

Jazakumul Allahu khayran.

wassalamualikum.

لاَ تَعْمَلْ للِنَّاسِ شَيْئاً Don't do anything for the sake of people!
وَ لاَ تَتْرُكْ لَهُمْ شَيْئاً And don't stop doing things because of them!
وَ لاَ تُغَطِّ لَهُمْ شَيْئاً And don't hide anything from them! 
وَ لاَ تَكْشِفْ لَهُمْ شَيْئاً And don't reveal anything to them!

Success is failure turned inside out; 
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you never can tell how close you are, 
It may be near when it seems afar; 
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit; 

It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.
