Dzień zgromadzenia w islamie a świętowanie chrześcijańskiej niedzieli
The Day of Congregation in Islam versus Christian Holy Sunday

Summary/Abstract: There is ever growing vagueness and inaccuracy about Islam, especially in the Western world with its Christian foundations. The article addresses the issue of Muslim Friday Worship in comparison with the Christian celebration of Sunday. Koran prescribes Friday as the Day of Congregation. But it is not a day off for Muslims. They gather together in the mosque at noontime to pray. The opening sections of the article describe the Day of Congregation and the relevant Islamic prayers, and the celebration of the Christian Sunday, called the Lord’s Day. The middle segment presents the place and role of the imam and priest in their respective communities. The closing paragraphs draw the reader’s attention to the evolving nature of the celebrations, especially those of the Christian Sunday.
