Question

Explain the importance of Friday congregational prayer​

Answer 1

Answer:

The religious significance

The Qur'an invokes the importance of Friday as a sacred day of worship in a chapter called “Al-Jumah,” meaning the day of congregation, which is also the word for Friday in Arabic. ... When you are called to congregational (Friday) prayer, hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off trade.

Salat al-jama'ah (Congregational Prayer) or prayer in congregation (jama'ah) is considered to have more social and spiritual benefit than praying by oneself. When praying in congregation, the people stand in straight parallel rows behind the chosen imam, facing qibla.
