Muslims have adopted the practice of taking Friday as their official weekly holiday. Each culture and religion has its weekly day of rest. God distinguished Friday and chose it particularly for Muslims. Thus, a complete soura is dedicated to this day and it bears the name “Al Juma’a” (Friday). This day has various pleasant qualities, the most important of which are cleanliness of the body and clothes and attending the Friday prayer which is distinguished from the prayers of other days, because it is carried out in groups. Due to the importance of Friday, there are preparations to be made the day before. Muslims pray a lot and recite the Koran on Thursdays. They also refrain from idle leisure and activities that distract them from worshipping.
