Friday prayer helps the Muslims to gather together in the Jamia Mosque. It prvides them an opportunity to discuss their problems. It enhances brotherhood.
It helps people to be closer to God and more motivated to do good deeds for the community including charities. It persuades Muslims to be forgivable and more consolidated. It is a good occasion for Muslims to meet together and listen to sermons and feel equality when praying all together in rows without any distinguishing among the rich and the poor or any other kinds of differences.Friday prayer is the compulsory gathering praying and is preceded by a sermon.Quran says (meaning English translation):{O you who believe! when the call is made for prayer on Friday, then hasten to the remembrance of Allah and leave off trading; that is better for you, if you know. (9) But when the prayer is ended, then disperse abroad in the land and seek of Allah's grace, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful. (10)} (Quran, chapter 62, verses 9-10).
Jummah,or Friday is the equivelant to the Sabbath for the Christians. Muslims go to the Mosque on this day and listen to the sermon, or Khutbah. The khutbah is the lesson taught by the Imam and usually last for about 30-45 minutes. The service is usually done in about 1 1/2 hours.
Wherever the Muslims live, they know the direction of Mecca as they have to offer prayer facing it. Direction at night may be known with the help of the Pole Star.
As a minimum, a Muslim attends the mosque (or Masjid) for the weekly Friday praying. Only female Muslims may be forgiven from attending mosques for Friday praying if they feel unsafe on going to mosques (a case which is rarely existing). However, many Muslims attend mosques for the 5 daily prayers and also during feast prayers and Ramadan Taraweeh prayers.
Muslims who wish to help benefit the community, regardless of creed, colour or nationality.
Muslims orient themselves toward the Kaaba in Mecca when praying because it is considered the holiest site in Islam. The act of facing the Kaaba during prayer symbolizes unity and solidarity among the Muslim community, as all Muslims around the world face the same direction when they pray. It also serves as a physical focal point to help Muslims concentrate and feel a connection with the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and the origins of Islam.

Muslim prayer times are based on the exact time of sunrise and sunset and the time the sun is in its zenith and figured from that time. Longitude, latitude and the degree of the sun all influence the time. Every city and place has a difference in time. There are special web sites to help Muslims figure times for prayer in their locality.
Well, if the local community included a lot of Muslims, it would help them fulfill their obligation to pray 5 times a day in greater comfort. It also serves as a gathering place. Some mosques also make some of their facilities available to the greater community, though most do not. You should ask the leadership of the particular mosque you're asking about how their specific mosque would benefit your specific community.
