Hello, all! I did not see an answer to my question in the FAQ, so I hope you might be able to help me. I am not a Muslim, nor am I super-familiar with Islamic practice. I'm in the US and I have been invited to the wedding reception of my wife's friend who is from Bangladesh and he and his family are Muslim. In the wedding invitation, it says "preparations for Maghrib prayer have been arranged."
Because I'm sort of socially anxious, I just want to know beforehand what might be expected of me in order to be respectful of the folks who are praying. I'm pretty much clueless. Is the prayer usually done in a separate room? If not, I assume we should be quiet while people pray, but should I like... not look at them? Or should I face them? Bow head? Not? Do heads need to be covered? Are there any major faux pas I should avoid? How long does it last?
Basically, I want to be respectful but I recognize that I'm super ignorant in this respect, and I'd rather ask some strangers on the internet than bother the groom with ignorant questions or cause some sort of unintentional upset or disrespect. I recognize that this might vary by region and stuff, but any advice is welcome. Thanks all!
