UAE becomes the latest Muslim country to move her weekend to Sat & Sun, affective 01/01/22. Should Somalia follow suit?

[Grigori Rasputin]

NVM! Somalia has no concept of working days. Heck, 80% of the people are unemployed. Every day is a weekend over there.
The ones who work have this deplorable work habit where they go home at noon and then come back in the evening.

I’ve noticed something whilst back home though. On any given Friday the whole dam stores of every kind is closed and even the “pharmacies”. Total shutdown. At least the first half of the day.

 

[Basra]

Don't they have to have a "work culture"?????? Saturday and Sunday is the Sabath of the Western Culture. You can always have your Friday whether u observe Weekends or not

i think about 40% of households receive remittances from abroad. So they just chill every day.

Insane that as a UAE resident I had to learn this on Somalispot.

oh we know that. They live the best of their lives. African life with money flowing in while we are slaving in the west with debts and stress

I like the idea of 4.5 week, productivity falls of the cliff on Friday afternoons in the West anyway so good move.

What I'd be impressed about in the Muslim world is stopping the damn shuttering of businesses during prayer time & follow Saudi Arabia's lead

Saudi shops can stay open during prayer times -business group circular

Shops in Saudi Arabia may now stay open during prayer times, a leading government-linked newspaper said on Friday, relaxing the kingdom's strict rules on closing shops and businesses for prayer five times a day.

i think we live a much better life, they didn’t have a western education or enjoy western freedom, freedom is just precious and only appreciated when you lack it

am sorry, i disagree with u. Walaahi, with the maturity i have today, i rather be them. Africa and Dollar income and a hut.

Of course, i might be wrong and human. We tend to see grass is greener some where else, but i can't help but admit Western freedom is overrated!

[Aurelian]

The working days will be 4 and half day, where muslims would have to wait till 12 PM to go and pray Friday prayers at 1:15 the whole year. Fixed Friday prayers for the whole year

I miss when the UAE had those weekends. But I always felt Saturday & Sunday coming after they went Friday and Saturday. At least they have the akhlaq to maintain Friday at least half way.

 

[Boujie]

I've been noticing UAE slowly becoming less muslim over the years
