In the United States and across the world, Black Friday is a big sensation. But the Middle East has coined a different term for the festival altogether: White Friday. The black term is generally associated with bad and negative things in this part of the world, while white on the other hand is considered pious and good. The festival marks the day when families and friends exchange gifts and presents. So, a lot of companies and MNCs have launched a slew of deals and offers to entice buyers this holiday season. Some companies are offering discounts even up to 70 per cent.
Friday is also considered the holiest day of the week in Islam. So, the use of the term “Black Friday” is discouraged. In the Middle East, Black is linked with negative things, so they call it White Friday. The major difference between Black Friday and White Friday is that the Black Friday festival lasts for one day, while the White Friday festival generally lasts for 4 days.
