From Shariah To Taqwa: Islam And Ethics
In addition to upholding the Five Pillars of Islam, Muslims are exhorted to go beyond the minimum. For example, they should practice good deeds or active virtue (ihsan) to enrich their spiritual lives. In 1905 beggars gathered near the tomb of the great Persian poet Saadi in Shiraz in the expectation of receiving munificence from their brethren.
Do Muslims Have A Sabbath Like Jews And Christians?
Friday is the Muslim day of congregational worship. It was not traditionally considered a day of rest, but in some Muslim countries today Friday has replaced the Sunday holiday, which was instituted by colonial powers and therefore often seen as a Western, Christian legacy.
In both Muslim and Western countries, congregational prayer (juma) in a mosque takes place at noon on Friday. Many Muslims in America arrange to use their lunch hour or request a flexible work schedule (coming to work earlier or staying later) in order to attend their hour-long Friday services. Those who cannot do so go to their mosque or Islamic center on Sunday for congregational prayer, religious education classes, and socializing.
