Rejected petition Considering Fridays as Part of the Weekend for Muslim Communities Nationally.
Considering Fridays to be as part of the national weekend.I humbly request the Government to consider Fridays as part of the weekend. By allowing Muslims to have the same benefit as other religious groups, we would be promoting fairness, equality, and respect for religious diversity in our society.
