Days of the week (arabic)

The Islamic week is derived from the Jewish week, as was the medieval Christian week, all of which have numbered weekdays in common. The "first day" of the Islamic week corresponds with Sunday of the planetary week. The Islamic and Jewish weekdays begin at sunset, whereas the medieval Christian and planetary weekdays begin at the following midnight.[3] Muslims gather for worship at a Masjid at noon on "gathering day", which corresponds to the sixth day of the Jewish and medieval Christian weeks, and to Friday of the planetary week.
