Jumu'ah
"O ye who believe! when the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is better for you, if you only knew. And when the Prayer is finished, then disperse in the land and seek of Allah’s grace, and remember Allah much, that you may prosper"

“From July 2019, Local President and Missionary should promote the first Friday of every month as a day when mothers and fathers should pick their children from school early and bring them to Jummah and pray for the success of this program. This would break the inertia and, once established, the frequency of this campaign should increase.”
(Approved Shura Recommendation 2019)
