<\/a>\nMazen Abbasi, father of another FHS student that attends these prayers states, \u201cJummah is a must for every male Muslim. Since the Muslim percentage is large enough in Fordson, the request cannot be ignored.\u201d Abbasi is very happy that his child doesn\u2019t miss Friday prayer during school days anymore.
\nWhile attending these prayers, there\u2019s a lot to consider. The opportunity that your school is giving you by allowing these prayers to happen. There are countries where being Muslim and praying results in death or torture. The peace of mind you get while listening to the Imam, the person who leads the prayer, give the Khutbah, a public preaching of Islam.\u00a0\u201cThese Khutbas are beneficial and I\u2019m very happy that they\u2019re going on. These prayers are a great convenience,\u201d 11th grader Issa Ghaleb explains. Students and parents enjoy the fact that their children don\u2019t have an excuse to miss Friday prayer anymore.
\nThe only improvement that some students suggest is the need for more attendees. A freshman, Fatima Hawari elaborates, \u201cPeople should take advantage of what\u2019s going on in their school, especially when they\u2019re given the opportunity.\u201d
\nYou can tell that the students attending these Friday prayers at Fordson High School think highly of them. They relish the fact that they can pray Friday prayer at school. It\u2019s a unanimous agreement. They absolutely love it.<\/p>\n
