History and Background of Surah Jumuah

Surah Al-Jumu’ah is a Madani Surah revealed in Madinah during the later period of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ’s life. It was sent down in response to two main situations: first, to affirm the universal mission of the Prophet ﷺ to the unlettered people; second, during a real-life incident when a trade caravan arrived in Madinah while the Prophet ﷺ was delivering the Friday sermon. Many companions left the prayer to rush toward the caravan, leaving only a few behind. Allah revealed this Surah to teach the believers that the remembrance of Allah and the Friday congregation are far more valuable than any worldly gain.
