I love being part of early morning Friday Quran sessions, or the ones in later afternoon. You get to hang around the serious seekers of knowledge who aren’t there just to pray and disappear, but to help out with the studies and teaching. All businesses are closed for Friday Prayer across the Middle East, and people get back to work once the prayer is over, or they just go back to their families/friends for gatherings at homes or public places. The seekers of knowledge, though, rarely take a weekend off from learning unless they’re traveling.
