Jumu’ah Mubarak (often written “Jummah Mubarak”) means “blessed Friday”. Many Muslims send it to each other on Fridays.
Why Friday is special
The Prophet ﷺ said: the best day on which the sun has risen is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he entered Paradise, and on it he was taken out of it (Sahih Muslim 854). Allah commands the believers to hasten to the remembrance of Allah when the call is made for Friday prayer (Quran 62:9).
