On Jummah prayers

[Shahmatt]

Greetings to all.
I have the following questions on the Jummah prayer.

1. It is common practice that the Jummah prayer replaces the Noon day prayer. Is this supported by the Quran? If no then would the Jummah prayer constitute a sixth prayer on the day of Jummah.

2. Is there any reason why the Jummah prayer is prayed at the time of the Noon day prayer? Would it be possible to pray the Jummah prayer at other times of the day?

Jumah prayer is to be prayed as per Surah Jumah (Surah 62) after a call of prayer is done. This Salat is in place of Zhur prayers. As Khtba is part of Jumah only two Rak'at are read. This is once in a week for Zikrillah

[Shahmatt]

Surah Jumah does not say which prayer of the day we must congregate.

Surah Jumah also does not say if the call to prayer is a call specific to the congregational prayer (i.e. an additional prayer), or if it is a call for a regular prayer to be prayed in congregation. Though I feel that it must be the latter I would appreciate any further insight from someone who understands the Arabic.

Quran mentions call of prayers for Juma only & not for other salaths. I think taking que from Juma Call of prayers (Azan)  muslims have adopted call of Prayers (Azan)for daily five prayers.Juma prayer is in lieu of Zuhur prayers by adding Qutba.

Salaam.

Then what about 5:58:

"And when you proclaim your call to prayer they take it but as mockery and sport..."
