FRIDAY
PRAYER (JUMA)
Muslims gather
once a week for a congregational prayer called Jumma consisting
of a short speach followed by two rakahs. It is obligatory for all
Muslims males to perform the Friday prayer in congregation, so
if you work locate the mosque
closest to your office and talk to your supervisor to let him/her
know that you will be absent during that time. If you are a student,
contact your local MSA
to find out where Jumma is offered. It is highly recommended to
take a complete bath (ghusl) on Friday mornings before the Jumma
prayer.
