Does the Shia muslim community celebrate Jummah? Congregational prayers on Fridays?
Yes, the Shia Muslim community does celebrate Jummah, or Friday, as a special day of congregational prayers. Similar to Sunni Muslims, Shia Muslims also gather in mosques and prayer centers to perform Friday prayers. The Jummah prayer is considered obligatory for all adult male Shia Muslims. However, for women, it is recommended but not obligatory. During the Jummah sermon, the imam addresses the congregation and delivers a sermon, which may cover various topics like religious guidance, social issues, or current affairs. After the prayers and sermon, people often spend time socializing and seeking spiritual guidance from the imam or scholars.
