After the time of the afternoon prayer has entered (f18.10(c)), one of the participants stands (f18.10(d)) facing the rest (f18.11(5)) and delivers the Friday sermon, saying for example:
(1) "Al-hamdu liLlah" (f18.9(a))
(2) "Allahumma salli `ala Muhammad" (f18.9(b))
(3) "Ittaqu Llah" (f18.9(c))
(4) "Qul huwa Llahu ahad" (f18.9(d))
Then he sits (f18.10(e)) for a couple of seconds and stands again, saying for example:
(5) "Al-hamdu liLlah" (f18.9(a))
(6) "Allahumma salli `ala Muhammad" (f18.9(b))
(7) "Ittaqu Llah" (f18.9(c))
(8) "Allahumma rhami l-mu'minin" (f18.9(e))
(underlined vowels represent long vowels; underlined consonants represent thick consonants)
He has then completed the requirements of the Friday sermon (f18.9-10), and the participants then pray the Friday prayer together (f18.7(c)).
There are additional sunnas, or recommended measures (f18.11), of the Friday prayer that may be taken: in them is great merit, but there is no sin in omitting them, and omitting them does not affect the validity of the Friday prayer.
That one is praying;
That this prayer is an obligation (Ar. fard);
That it is the Friday prayer;
That it is in congregation. (Alternatively, the imam can intend being an imam and the follower can intend being a follower.)
All four components must be present during the opening Allahu Akbar of the Friday prayer. So while saying Allahu Akbar you should be conscious that you are praying the obligatory Friday prayer in a group
