op, I thank you for your concern. I understand what you trying to make out of this.

See, muslims are not really bothered about it.

Islam does not want Muslims be lazy either.

Everyday is work day for Muslims

As a fella rightly quoted (Quran) up there, it's clear enough that Muslims can work on Jum'ah (friday).

The only break we must respect is within the hours of obligatory congregation salat(prayer) which lasts an hour or less.

This means Muslims can work before and after prayer on Friday

However, for convenience, many seem to take the day off.

Like myself, my job's descriptions require that I go from place to place.

I usually know my schedules ahead. Therefore, if my location on Friday is close to a mosque and the hours are convenient, I go to work and go to mosque afterward.

If my job location is far from mosque or my schedule go south i simply inform my boss i cant make it and he respects that.

That's the way i work for years.

Recent months however, I work long hours and consecutive days. So I simply informed my "scheduler" to take me off Fridays. That's more convenient for me.

What i do disagree with fellow NL comments above me is they have ulterior motives with their comments. They quickly linked this innocent thread with current world crisis. That, i think, is very silly.

hummm, you think everyone is like you?. Quran does speaks about people like op.

Quran identifies some christians who are compationate and are beloved to the believers (muslims). Please read sura Maidah (82) i:e chapter 5 verse 82.

Also read chapter 3:113, speaks of not all christians and Jews are alike. There are good and obedient ones who rehears praises of God day and night and are not arrogant.
