Muslims consider Friday (Jumu'ah) their holy day, featuring a special congregational prayer (Salatul Jumuah) where work pauses, but it's not a strict, work-prohibited Sabbath like in Judaism or Christianity; it's a day for worship and community, with work permitted before and after the midday prayer, though many Muslim-majority countries now observe a Friday-Saturday or Saturday-Sunday weekend for practical reasons.
In the modern period, however, most Muslim countries have designated Friday as the legal day of rest; Turkey, following Western tradition, has made Sunday the holiday.
Friday and Saturday are the most common weekend days besides Saturday and Sunday. In many Islamic countries (and Jewish countries), Friday afternoon prayers hold significant importance, and it is important that workers have the day off to attend.
It is good to take showers everyday if you can, if not every other day. And we pray 5 times a day and even do a ablution at each time. And even futher it is recommended to do ghusl whenever you can so if you want do a ghusl with the start of each of your day with bi'iznillah.
A day of rest is observed in Islam (Friday), Judaism (Saturday), and Christianity (Sunday). Observances similar to or descended from the Sabbath also exist in other religions. The term may be generally used to describe similar weekly observances in other religions.

What is the 7 7 7 rule in Islam?
The "777 rule in Islam" primarily refers to a parenting framework attributed to Imam Ali (a), dividing a child's upbringing into three seven-year stages: (0-7 years) play and love, (7-14 years) teach and discipline, and (14-21 years) befriend and advise, fostering a balanced approach to raising Muslim children with spiritual, moral, and emotional guidance. Another interpretation involves 7-minute daily connection blocks (morning, after school, bedtime) or a 7-second breathing technique for stress, while the number seven also holds significance in Quranic contexts like the reward for charity.
No, kissing your girlfriend is not permissible during Ramadan or at any other time in Islam, as physical intimacy outside marriage is prohibited. Ramadan emphasizes self-discipline and avoiding sinful actions, making it especially important to focus on spiritual growth and adherence to Islamic principles.
Muslims pray a minimum of five times a day, with their fard (obligatory) prayers being known as Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (noon), Asr (late afternoon), Maghrib (at sunset), and Isha (nighttime), always facing towards the Kaaba.
On this day, all Muslim men are expected to meet and participate at the designated place of meeting and prostration (mosque), with certain exceptions due to distance and situation. Women and children can also participate, but do not fall under the same obligation that men do.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "It is not permitted for a Muslim to forsake his brother for more than three (days); whoever does this and dies, he will enter Hell." (Reported by Abu Dawud, 5/215; see also Saheeh al-Jaami', 7635).
Islam doesn't use coffins in burial, more specifically in Muslim majority countries, instead, stones or wood are placed at the bottom where the body will rest. The body is placed in the grave on its right side facing the Qibla.
The "3 Bra Rule" is a guideline recommending you own at least three bras for a healthy rotation: one to wear, one in the laundry, and one in the drawer (resting), which helps the elastic recover and extends the life of your bras by preventing daily wear. Rotating them gives the elastic a full day to regain its shape, keeping bras supportive and fitting better for longer, avoiding the need to wear the same one two days in a row.
What the jurists (fuqaha) have explained is the basic and absolute minimum that a woman must cover in the presence of Mahram men. However, this does not mean she goes around the house exposing her legs chest and breasts, just like a man is not supposed to wonder around in front of his sister and daughter bare-chested.
Why do Muslims have a bottle of water next to the toilet?
In order to undertake the required personal washing when away from home, some people will fill whatever container they can find (often a cup or water bottle) with water and take this to the privacy of a toilet cubicle to undertake this personal ablution act in private.
There is absolutely no 'hijaab' between a husband and a wife who are united in the sacred bond of marriage in Islam, and there is absolutely no restriction between them taking a shower or bath together, if they wish to do so.
We use both because dry tissue doesn't clean the genitalia, it smears, dries and leaves odor and potential stains in the undergarments. Muslims cannot pray with urine or feces on their garments because it's unclean. Hassan Mbuthia so we use water to cleanse ourself after relieving.
2)Yes, a husband can kiss his wife on the lips- 'French' kiss is just a name for a particular way of deriving pleasure, it is allowed. It used to be done before this name was invented.
