This special prayer is composed of a sermon followed by 2 units of congregational prayer.
The sermons can be on a variety of topics but tend to focus on spiritual reminders to help motivate the community to do good deeds and strengthen their relationship with God. After the Friday prayer, people are free to return to their workplaces.
Mosque and Community
In addition to being a place of prayer, mosques have also become a focal point in the community. People meet and greet one another, receive news about the community (e.g. those who are sick), and children come to learn.
The mosque is therefore the central point for growth and development of the community.
