Prayer is man’s way of communicating with the divine. In Islam, it is customary to pray, 5 times a day, according to the Sun’s sky path, regardless of the time zone. The Friday prayer is one of the most important Islamic rituals, as it is seen by all Muslims as an obligatory act. In the words of Muhammad, “The best day the sun rises over is Friday; on it Allah created Adam. On it, he was made to enter paradise, on it he was expelled from it, and the Last Hour will take place on no other day than Friday”. The Friday prayer usually referred to as Jumu’ah (Friday in Arabic) is not obligatory for women, old men, the sick, travellers, the blind, and the disabled.
What is the Friday Prayer
The Friday prayer (salat al-Jumu'ah), is a prayer that is held instead of the regular Zuhr prayers. Although there is an agreement among Muslims regarding the necessity of Friday prayers, the Hanafis and imams believe that the presence of a ruler or his deputy during the prayer is necessary, while the Shafi’is, Malikis, and Hanbalis attach no significance to the presence of a ruler. Regardless, all Muslims agree that it is important for Muslims to be in constant communication with Allah, as this would help them stay on the path of righteousness.
