Friday is the holy day of the week for Muslims and it is mandatory for men to offer the early afternoon prayer, known as Jumu’ah, in congregation. During Friday lunchtime, Muslims are required to take a break from their work, or other worldly activities they are involved in, and head to the Mosques or prayer halls to offer the Jumu’ah prayer. The Jumu’ah prayer is composed of a sermon followed by two prostration (rakats) of congregational prayer. The sermons can be on a variety of topics but tend to focus on spiritual reminders to help motivate the community to do good deeds and strengthen their relationship with God. After the Jumu’ah prayer, people are free to return to their workplaces.
