Hmm. Didn't know that. But "the holy day of the Muslims is Friday. It is considered to be sacred and the Day of Judgement will take place on Friday. Muslims join together shortly after noon on Friday for the Friday congregational prayer in a Mosque. A leader (Imam) gives a sermon (Khutba) and leads (in) congregational prayer“ (http://www.islamicity.com/mosque/Intro_Islam.htm). Also was reminded that “Islam” means “Peace” and wondered if the infighting among Christians turns them off. Yet our Gospel is a gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15; Romans 10:15; Acts 10: 36) and we are urged to be at peace among ourselves (1 Thessalonians 5:13). There are many things we see our brethren do that are actually contrary to Scripture. Let us draw their attention to those by showing tolerance and acceptance on matters that do not matter, such as the day we pray and the tune of the songs we sing, or the fact we do not have the correct verse to support a behavior which is itself correct and is supported elsewhere. | ||||||

Thank you so Much Noble! I had no idea that the Muslims had a particular day set aside, to worship. I have friends in an area of Los Angeles called Leimert Park. (I love visiting this place) It is a small Black community rich in Black culture and history. The majority of the residents are Muslims of one group or another. Some Call themselves Black Moslims and others Muslims I have been in the midst of say a game of chess or a conversation and one will get up and say, "I have to go to prayer at the temple see you later." Yet they go at differing times. SO I never thought they had a particular time. I always ignorantly believed they had their daily prayers and worship, without any set aside special day. Although some probably do go on Fridays religiously I was not aware since they go to their temple at various times. You learn something new everyday :) Thanks again, -Kathy |
