بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيم
Juma (Arabic: جُمُعَة; lit. “Friday”) is the holiest day of the week on which special congregational prayers are offered. On Fridays, Muslims take special care in wearing clean clothes, bathing, and may include preparing special meals on this day.
Friday prayers (Arabic: ٱلْجُمُعَة صَلَاة) take place in the afternoon instead of the Zuhr prayer. The term Jumu’ah is derived from the same root from which jama’a is derived, which means “the gathering of people.” In many Muslim countries, the weekend is inclusive of Fridays, while in others, Fridays are half-days for schools and some workplaces.
