While Muslims do not celebrate the Sabbath like Jews or Christians, they do have a day of prayer that is a lot like many Christian church services. This day is Friday - in fact, the very word for Friday in Arabic comes from the name for the special prayer that is done only on that day. It's also the day Muslims are expected to pray at mosque - all other days of the week Muslims may pray in private. Learn more in this Crash Course in Islam.
