	Friday and Friday Prayer (Salat)
		Friday is mentioned by name in the Quran and this means God gave it a very special significance.
		The Submitters (Muslims in Arabic) are more happy for the coming of Friday since they will have the chance to do their Friday prayer and achieve one more requirement in their strife for being obedient to their One and Only God.
		Friday prayer is a requirement from all the Submitters, men, women and grown up children, who can get together on Friday during noon prayer time.

	Good Friday Prayer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, some writers use the term "Good Friday Prayer" to refer to a specific portion from a litany (prayer of petition) that is offered in certain churches on that day.
		In 1960, Pope John XXIII removed the word "faithless" (Latin "perfidis") from the prayer for the conversion of the Jews.
		This lead some anti-Catholics to claim the prayer accused the Jews of treachery, which was a complete misunderstanding of the prayer since it was not a litany of accusation, but a petition for conversion.

	Method of Friday prayer
		Friday prayer has two Qunuts, the first one is offered before first Ruku and the second one is offered after Ruku of the second Rak’at.
		Friday prayer has two sermons, which are obligatory as original Namaz and they should be delivered by leader of Friday prayer and Friday prayer is not realized without those two sermons.

	Jumu'ah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is an obligation for men to pray the Friday prayer (Jumu'ah) in congregation (jama'ah) at a Mosque.

	Women Leading Friday Prayer: AMJA’s Statement
		In addition, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed Muslim women that their Prayer at home is better for them than attending the congregation, out of mercy upon them that they face the hassles of going out and to shield them from temptations.
		None of these noble women scholars ever attempted to lead the Friday Prayer nor deliver the sermon, even though they were superior in knowledge over many of their contemporary men in jurisprudence, religious knowledge, and narrations from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
		It is talking about some very specific circumstances where a woman can lead the Prayer inside her home, and has no relation to Friday Prayer and general congregations.

	Response to Woman-Led Friday Prayer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The MWL Board has been discussing the issue of this Friday’s congregational prayer, and we believe that this event brings forth key issues that must be addressed.
		It was, however, not customary for women to lead prayer during the Prophet’s time, but we believe it is important to ask whether this was a reflection of custom or religious edict.
		Finally, some wonder how Friday’s event will mark the beginning of positive change regarding the role of women as participants and leaders in religious life around the country without a clear follow-up plan that outlines what must be done for change to occur.

	The Friday Prayer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The congregational nature of this prayer was ordained to provide a platform for the Muslim rulers to address their people; these rulers of the Islamic state and their representatives were thus given the privilege to speak to the public and communicate to them information on national and local concerns.
		After the decline of the Muslim rule and abandonment of this duty by the state representative, the sermon is now merely said to simulate the decreed Friday sermon though the traces of the political aspects are still found in its contents.
		This explanation is further corroborated by the fact that, many a time, a tradition is also narrated in the Friday Sermon, even in these days, which describes that the head of a state is the shelter provided to the Muslims by the Almighty.
