        abstract = {Shalat Jum'at (Friday Prayer) is a weekly compulsory prayer for
male moslems. Indeed, most male moslems practise this specific
prayer although they are not used to practising daily prayer (five
compulsory prayer), especially for those in villages. For them, it is
because shalat Jum'at is considered not only as a ritual activity but
also as social one. Actually, shalat Jum'at can be used as a
representation of moslem's taqwa (obedience to Allah) as well as a
social interaction (rukun in Javanese).
Furthermore, Khutbah Jum'at (Friday Sermon)- must be attended
before doing the shalat - can improve moslem's taqwa. Therefore,
shalat Jum'at with its khutbah can be understood as 'an agent of
change' for the moslem community. Khatib (preacher of Friday
Sermon and imam of the shalat) takes this responsibility by
managing the way of his sermon and its content in order to improve
social, economic, and political lif e of the ummah. Still, the question
is how can shalat Jum'at improve human life?}
