In Islam, Friday prayer, or Congregational prayer, is a special community prayer service held once a week instead of the afternoon Zuhr prayer in Salah the daily prayer ritual and one of the Five Pillars of Islam. All Muslim men are expected to participate at a mosque with certain exceptions due to distance and situation. Women and children can also participate but do not fall under the same obligation that men do. The service consists of several parts including ritual washing, chants, recitation of scripture and prayer, and sermons.
