Friday Mosque is the English translation of the Arabic term al-jumʿa (Arabic: الجمعه ) al-masjid. This term is applied as a proper name to many mosques worldwide. Friday is the day for communal prayer in which all male muslims are called to pray communally for the noon-time prayer in Islam, the equivalent of the Jewish Sabbath prayers (which runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) and the Christian church-going on Sundays. Every Islamic community has a mosque for this purpose. Friday Mosque is thus the most common name for mosques worldwide.
