A prayer done in congregation is highly encouraged.

In fact, the reward is 27 times more than a prayer offered alone, as narrated in Bukhari and Muslim.

One of the reasons for this is Islam’s great emphasis on community, brotherhood and unity.

Abu Huraira reported that the Prophet (ﷺ), said, “Whoever goes to the mosque in the morning and evening, Allah will prepare for him a place in Paradise for every morning and evening.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

The Quran also says: “O you who believe! When you are called to congregational (Friday) prayer, hasten to the remembrance of God and leave off trade. That is better for you, if you but knew.” 62:9

The Prophet (ﷺ) told us that the entire experience of attending the Mosque, including every step taken to the House of God, is rewarded.

“He who purifies (performs Wudu’) himself in his house and then walks to one of the houses of Allah (mosque) for performing an obligatory Salat, one step of his will wipe out his sins and another step will elevate his rank (in Jannah).” [Muslim].
