Friday Mosque is the English translation of the Arabic term masjid al-jumʿa (Arabic: مسجد الجمعة “Mosque of [the day of] Assembly”) or Jama Masjid (Jami Masjid). This term is applied as a proper name to many mosques worldwide. Friday – in Arabic, “the Day of Assembly” – is the day for communal prayer in which all male Muslims are called to pray communally for the noon-time prayer in Islam, the equivalent of the Jewish Sabbath prayers (which runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) and Christian churchgoing on Sundays. Every Islamic community has a mosque for this purpose. Friday Mosque is thus the most common name for mosques worldwide.
