Summary
There is an authentic hadith narrated by Imam Muslim from Abu Hurairah RA stating that the Last Hour will not occur except on a Friday. Belief in the Day of Judgement is part of the pillars of faith, but Allah SWT has concealed its exact time. Scholars differ on whether the events mentioned in the hadith, such as Adam AS being removed from paradise and the coming of the Hour, are virtues of Friday, or merely a reminder of momentous events so that people prepare with righteous deeds.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith yang menyatakan bahawa hari Kiamat akan berlaku pada hari Jumaat adalah hadith yang sahih riwayat Imam Muslim.
