My friend told me that in some Arabic-speaking countries, Friday is considered a holiday, as opposed to Sunday in Western countries. Is this true? What countries are they?
yeah it's true i'l from algeria so we take friday and saturday as a holiday ''week-end ''
Yes it is true. My Muslim friend told me these day is good especially for to pray.
Yes it's true, in KSA, UAE, PALESTIN, EGYPT, QATAR, KUWAIT, BAHREIN, JORDANIA, ...Friday is the holiday
ALL Arabic countries share Friday as a week end and holyday , actually to pray JUMU'A in this day.
