EASY GUIDE FOR NEW MUSLIMS

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.
