The Islamic Foundation has urged the authorities concerned to hold Friday's Jummah prayers at the same time at all mosques across the country.
In a press release on Sunday, the Islamic Foundation said Friday is a day for communal gathering and is considered a weekly Eid.
It holds special significance and sanctity due to the blessings and goodness present at a specific time on this day, it added.
It said that in Bangladesh, Jummah prayers are held at different times in different mosques - some start at 1pm while others at 1:30pm and some at 1:50pm.
Due to this variation in timing, Muslims, especially travellers and pedestrians, often face confusion and difficulties.
To resolve this issue and for the convenience of Muslims, the Islamic Foundation has called for Jummah prayers to be held uniformly at 1:30 pm at all mosques nationwide.
The press release concluded with a directive, requesting that necessary measures be taken to ensure the prayers are conducted at the same time - 1:30pm at all mosques within respective divisions and districts.
