BANGLADESH917- Jummah
Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world.
In 1990, 1.1 billion people were Muslims,
while in 2010, 1.6 billion people.
In 2020 there were close to 2 BILLION Muslims in the world
almost 1/4th the world's population!!!!!!!!
Friday is called al-Jum’ah in Arabic, meaning the Day of Assembly. Muslims gather for congregational worship during midday on Friday.
Establishment of the Friday prayer is a commandment found in the Qur’an:
“O Believers! When the call to prayer is made on the day of congregation, hurry towards the reminder of God and leave off your business––that is better for you,
One of the 5 tenets of ISLAM also is to give to the poor.
Because tens of millions of Muslims go to the mosque on FRIDAY many poor will await charitable contributions after prayer.
I have shot Jummah in many nations and many of the poor have horrendous handicaps.
Some unbelievable even for a physician's eyes.

the largest mosque in BDESH
close to a billion people – one-eighth of the world’s population – still live in hunger. Each year 2 million children die through malnutrition. This is happening at a time when doctors in Britain are warning of the spread of obesity. We are eating too much while others starve.
