On Friday all Muslims must go to the mosque. They perform Friday prayer. Before praying together,
Muslims should listen to the speech. The speech is given by the preacher. In his speech, he reads the
messages of Allah in Al Qur’an then tries to explain the meaning and how to implement them in the daily
life. It usually takes about 20 to 25 minutes.

Friday prayer. It takes them about 8 minutes to perform the Friday prayer.
Muslim have to perform fasting. They do it in the fasting month. They do not eat or drink from the
dawn till the sun set. The fasting sometimes takes them for about 29 days and sometimes 30 days. After
fasting, they celebrate it by reciting the laudation of Allah “Allahu Akbar” on the eve of the Idul Fitri Day.
