LessonsQuality of the Commanded Act: Intrinsic and Dependent GoodnessQuiz

فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
Meaning: Go to the remembrance of Allah.

For those upon whom Jumuah is obligatory, going to perform it becomes required after the Friday Adhan. This going, or Sa'y1, is a means of reaching the prayer; its goodness and reward come from that connection.

If Jumuah is not obligatory on a person, this going is not obligatory either. If someone goes without intending the Friday prayer, the going described here does not carry its reward. It is therefore an example of dependent goodness.

1. Sa'y here: going toward the Friday prayer; the explanation is about proceeding to prayer, not a command to run.
