    The Jummah (Friday) prayer in Islam starts shortly after the sun has passed its zenith, which is known as “Dhuhr time.” In practical terms, it usually begins around midday when the sun has started to decline from its highest point in the sky.

    The exact time for Jummah prayer can vary depending on your geographical location and the time of year due to changes in the length of daylight. It typically takes place after the Dhuhr (noon) prayer, and it’s recommended to arrive early for the Friday sermon (Khutbah) and the congregational prayer. To find the precise starting time for Jummah in your area, you can check with your local mosque, refer to Islamic prayer timetables, or use smartphone apps designed for this purpose.
