The United Arab Emirates has officially announced a new unified timing for the Friday sermon and Jumu’ah prayer across all emirates. Beginning January 2, 2026, the Friday sermon will commence at 12:45 pm, followed immediately by the congregational prayer.
This nationwide alignment aims to bring uniformity to prayer schedules and ensure consistency for worshippers across the country. Mosques throughout the UAE have been instructed to adhere to the fixed timing every week.
Authorities have also advised worshippers to arrive early to maintain order, avoid congestion, and prepare spiritually ahead of the sermon. The shift in timing is expected to streamline community coordination and strengthen the collective experience of the weekly Jumu’ah prayer.
Readers are encouraged to stay tuned for more updates on religious guidelines and nationwide scheduling changes.
