Book Name:Tarke Jamat Ki Waeeden
He will continue to get reward for Salah until he keeps sitting waiting for Jama’at. In short, the one who offers Salah with Jama’at gets abundant benefits.
Dear Islamic brothers! Despite so many blessings and virtues of Salah with Jama’at, feeling lazy and not offering Salah with Jama’at are very astonishing. But alas! People do not care about Jama’at, but rather they do not feel sad if they miss Salah. On the other hand, it was the state of our pious predecessors رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی that they would feel so much grief even over missing a Takbeer-e-Aula as if they had suffered a very big loss. These personages would consider the first Takbeer to be more important than this world and whatever is in it and this is indeed the reality.
Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: It is narrated that in the sight of Salaf Saliheen [pious predecessors in the past] رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی Salah was so important that if any of them missed their first Takbeer, they would grieve over it for 3 days and if someone missed their Jama’at, they would grieve over it for 7 days. (Mukashafa-tul-Quloob, pp. 268) We should also develop the importance and love for Salah with Jama’at and form the habit of our children from the beginning to offer Salah with Jama’at.
Advising his son Sayyiduna Abu Darda رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said to him: O son! Masjid should be your home. Undoubtedly, I have heard the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم saying, ‘Masajid are the homes of the pious and the one whose home is Masjid, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ becomes Guarantor of his forgiveness, mercy and crossing the Siraat Bridge safely that leads to Paradise.
(Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, vol. 8, pp. 172, Hadees 1)
