Jummah (جمعة): Jummah, also known as Friday Prayer, is a congregational prayer performed by Muslims every Friday, replacing the regular Dhuhr (midday) prayer. It is a sacred and obligatory act of worship for adult male Muslims.
The prayer includes a Khutbah (sermon), delivered by the Imam, which provides guidance on religious, social, and community matters. The sermon is followed by a shortened congregational prayer consisting of two Rakats (units of prayer).
