جمعة الدفتان من أول الحمد لله رب العالمين إلى آخر قل أعوذ برب الناس كلام الله

Friday of the Two Booklets: from the beginning, "Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds," to the end, "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind." The Word of God.

الدَّفَّتَانِ the two booklets

This is a dual noun, a form English lacks: instead of adding a separate word for 'two', Arabic folds 'exactly two' into the ending of the noun itself. It pairs with the day-name before it to specify the title, so the count of booklets is carried entirely by the word's shape, not by a number word.
