Abstract
This chapter outlines the principal Orthodox ritual as practiced by some Nubians. It describes rituals to changing conditions in the resettled village of Kanuba. Jūm'a (pronounced gūm'a in Kanuba) or Friday prayer is the weekly congregational prayer performed at noon. This chapter is an intensive microstudy of the important ritual of on the Salāt al-Jūm'a among Muslims of a Nubian community as it is related to their daily activities and concerns. It shows that change in the form of salāt al-jūm'a reflects in large part a trend toward conservative Islamization, in accord with orthodox teaching, rather than simply representing a unitary movement towards secularization. These interpretive analyses have some pertinence to understanding change in Nubian culture generally.
