In Islam, Jumu'ah (Arabic: جُمُعَة; lit. "Friday") is the holiest day of the week on which special congregational prayers are offered. Fridays are considered a celebration in their own right and Muslims take special care in wearing clean clothes, bathing, and preparing special meals on this day. Friday prayers (Arabic: صَلَاة ٱلْجُمُعَة, Ṣalāt al-Jumuʿah) take place in the afternoon before the Zuhr prayer. The term Jumu’ah is derived from the same root from which jama'a is derived, which means "the gathering of people." In many Muslim countries, the weekend is inclusive of Fridays, while in others, Fridays are half-days for schools and some workplaces.— source Wikipedia
