Salat with congregation

Salat with congregation

Salat can be performed at home or at any other places. Places. But mosque is the best place to perform Salat. Twenty seven times rewards could be found if Salat is performed in congregation at the mosque. Mosque is the house of Allah. We become happy having a guest in our house and similarly Allah becomes happy when His servants go to the mosque for Salat. About performing Salat in Congregation Allah says:


“And bow down your heads with those who bow down (in worship). (Baqarah:43). It means, perform Salat with congregation. Even stress has been given to perform Salat in congregation continuously for forty days”. The Prophet (Sm) also said: “ Those who go to the mosque taking trouble in the darkness of night should have this good news that they will get the full light on the day of Resurrection” (Tirmizi).

The Prophet (Sm) said about those who do not take part in congregation willingly, “some time my mind wishes to ask any Muazzin to say Iqamat for congregation and to ask some one else to lead the Salat in my place. And to fire at the houses of those who have not come to the congregation even after hearing the Azan”. The Prophet (Sm) pronounced such a hard precaution about congregation. Congregation in Salat is not only for more reward in the hereafter, but we can have social teachings like punctuality, unity, discipline and obedience to the leader.

We shall be able to narrate the importance of performing Salat in congregation and shall perform Salat regularly in congregation.
