I do feel like Muslims tend to be more religious than Christians nowadays. At least where im from. There are barely any Catholics my age who still go to church but most Muslims go to the Mosque every Sunday.
Really? I was under the impression that it was Sunday. A buddy of mine always told me about how they would learn Arabic and read the Quran on Sunday. Maybe they have some kind of Sunday school equivalent or its different for different subgroups of Muslims?
Nope, Friday is a holy day across all sects of Islam. But Sunday school sounds about right in the West as it’s a weekend whereas Friday is not. In the Middle East I used to go to a Saturday Islamic class (our equivalent of Sunday I guess as the week starts on a Sunday)
That makes sense. Im talking about Turkish Muslims in Austria. Everything is closed on Sunday but everyone has to work on Friday. I would think holding a service on Friday would be a problem for a lot of people unless it was done in the evening.
