The Friday prayer (Jumu'ah) is a congregational prayer performed in [[mosques]] that replaces the zuhr prayer performed on the other six days of the week. It is compulsory for men to attend and has been mentioned in the Qur'an.<ref>"''O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew! And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.''" - {{Quran-range|62|9|10}}</ref> | The Friday prayer (Jumu'ah) is a congregational prayer performed in [[mosques]] that replaces the zuhr prayer performed on the other six days of the week.
