How to Obtain the Virtue of the Sunnah of Dhuhr on Friday

Question
How do we reconcile between the hadith that states whoever prays twelve rak'ahs, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise, and the fact that Friday prayer has only two rak'ahs as Sunnah after it? How can we perform twelve rak'ahs on Friday?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: This hadith is about the confirmed Sunnah in general, and it is one of the lesser confirmed Sunnahs, and it does not speak about a specific form for Friday, although the confirmed Sunnah for Friday includes four rak'ahs before Friday and four rak'ahs after Friday, and God knows best.
