Jumuʿah means gathering, not Friday
Al-jumuʿah (الجمعة) in 62:9 is built on the root ج-م-ع, whose every occurrence in the Quran carries the sense of gathering; none names a weekday.1 The page therefore reads 62:9 as "the day of gathering" and leaves the later calendar sense to the dated sources that introduced it.
