Answer:
Atonement for missed friday prayer
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of
Allah (saws) said: "The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. [On
Friday] Adam was created, and on that day he entered Paradise, and on that day
he was expelled from

Abu Hurairah reports that one Friday the
Prophet (saws) said: "O gathering of Muslims, Allah has made this day (of
Friday) an Eid for you, so make ghusl and use the miswak (on this day)."

Abu Sa'id reports that the Prophet (saws)
said: "Every Muslim should have a ghusl on Friday and wear his best
clothing, and if he has perfume, he should use it."

Abu Lubanah al-Badri relates that the Prophet
(saws) said: "The most prominent (or leader) of the days is the day of
Jumu'ah and the most honored in Allah's sight, and it is more honored in Allah's
sight than the day of breaking the fast, or the day of sacrifice. It has five significant merits: Allah created
Adam on this day; on this day Allah sent Adam down to the earth; on this day
Allah caused Adam to die; on this day, there is a time during which if anyone
asks anything of Allah it will be granted to him unless he asks for something
which is forbidden; and on this day, the Hour will be established. There are no
Angels close to Allah or the sky or the earth or the wind or the mountain or the
sea who are not worried concerning the day of Jumu'ah."
Related by Ahmad and Ibn Majah.
There is absolutely no denying the importance of the day
of Jumua (Friday) in the sight of Allah Subhanah. It is the most prominent day of the week, and
the Lord Most Merciful has made this day of Friday a day of Eid for the
believers, and Commanded every adult male believer to leave off every worldly
pursuit and attend the Friday mid-day sermon and prayer.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 62 Surah
Jumuah verses 9-11:
9 O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on
Friday (the Day of Assembly) hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah and
leave off business (and traffic): that is best for you if ye but knew!
10 And when the Prayer is finished then ye may disperse through the
land and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often
(and without stint): that ye may prosper.
11 But when they see some bargain or some amusement they disperse
headlong to it and leave thee standing.
Say: "The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any
amusement or bargain! And Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)."
To leave any and all worldly pursuits and earnestly attend
the Friday mid-day sermon and congregational prayer is an absolutely obligatory
Command of the Lord Most High upon those who have professed belief in Him and
the Last Day.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 1047 Narrated by Al-Ja'd ad-Damri
The Prophet (saws) said: “He who leaves the Friday prayer (continuously)
for three Fridays on account of slackness, Allah will print a stamp on his
heart.”
Your Question: what
compensation must i do, if i miss on jumah?
Abdullah Ibn Masud (r.a.), the companion of
the Noble Prophet (saws), said: "Whoever catches one rakah from al-Jumu'ah
is only to add another one to it. Whoever misses both rakahs is to pray four
rakahs."

Anas related that the Prophet (saws) said,
"Whoever forgets a prayer should pray it when he remembers it, and
there is no expiation for it save that."
Related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
If one has missed the Friday mid-day congregational prayer
in the mosques for whatever reason, one should seek sincere forgiveness from
their Lord for their missing the obligatory congregational prayer, and their
atonement is to offer a four-rakah prayer in lieu of their missed Friday
congregational prayer.
In light of the above narration of the Messenger of Allah
(saws), a person who intentionally misses three consecutive Friday prayers
without a valid reason, Allah will seal or put a stamp on his heart.
