Friday is the best day of the week. Every Muslim should make attending Friday Prayer as his top priority. It is important to do so since ignoring it three times with no valid reason will cause the heart to be sealed from the right path.

The second matter to watch for is the losing of one's interest in the importance of Friday. This is especially important for the growing generation who are used to the concept of weekend being Saturday and Sunday and know almost nothing about the importance of Friday in the eyes of Muslims. So it is our duty to remind them and ourselves about this great day which is the best day of the week and try to spend it according to Islamic teaching.

Some of our high school students offer Friday prayers during their assigned lunch break and we encourage them to do so.

In addition to the Friday prayers offered at High School, the Islamic Association of Raleigh is considering adding a fourth shift of Friday prayers specifically for High School and College students. This would allow students an opportunity to gather on a larger scale than their high school and also allow certain students who currently do not offer Friday prayers.
