Is what is required for the Friday Dawn prayer the recitation of Surat As-Sajdah, or the recitation of any other Surah that contains a prostration of recitation?
The intention is to recite Surahs As-Sajdah and Al-Insan at Fajr on Friday, due to their mentioning the creation of Adam and the Day of Judgment, both of which occurred or will occur on a Friday. The prostration (sajdah) is a consequence and not intended for its own sake. Some imams disliked the continuous performance of these recitations to prevent the misconception of their obligation.
