Friday congregational prayers (Jumu'ah) at the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in Dhaka. This is the largest mosque in Bangladesh. It has 8 levels and can accomodate more than 40,000 worshippers. The mosque's design is inspired by the Kaaba in Mecca, featuring a large cube-shaped structure that distinguishes it from other mosques in the region. Friday is to Muslims as Sunday is to Christians. In Bangladesh as in many Muslim countries, the weekend days are Friday-Saturday, and Sunday marks the first day of the workweek.
