#  Jum’ah 

 



Friday is called *Yawm al-Jum’ah* in Arabic, meaning the Day of Assembly. On this day, Muslims pause from their work at mid-day to gather for congregational worship. The regular mid-day prayer on Friday is supplemented by a two-part sermon known as the *khutbah*, in the middle of which a time of personal prayer, or *du’a*, is encouraged.<a></a>
