The basics

About Jummah (Friday prayer)

Jummah (Salat al-Jumu'ah) is the congregational Friday prayer that replaces the midday Dhuhr prayer for adult Muslim men. It consists of a khutbah (sermon) delivered by the imam, followed by two rak'ahs prayed together in congregation. Attending Jummah is one of the most emphasised weekly acts of worship in Islam.

In Edinburgh, as across the UK, Jummah is held shortly after Dhuhr — most commonly between 12:30 PM and 2:00 PM. It is recommended to arrive early, perform Ghusl, wear clean clothes and use perfume, and to listen attentively during the khutbah.

Why do Jummah times change through the year?
