sins were committed before will be forgiven by Allah Almighty.
(Al-Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hanbal, vol. 8, p. 162, Hadith 21749)
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! Have you heard! When this is the excellence of two Rak’aat of Nafl Salah, then the person who starts offering all five Fard Salahs with Jama’ah will definitely become successful.
Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Umar رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُمَا has narrated that the Beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated: A Salah with Jama’ah is twenty-seven times superior to the Salah offered alone. (Muslim, p. 326, Hadith 250)

Its excellence has been mentioned in a blessed Hadith: ‘Whoever offers ‘Isha Salah in the Masjid with Jama’at for 40 nights in such a manner, that his first Rak’at is not missed, Allah Almighty writes freedom from Hellfire for him’ (Ibn Majah, vol. 1, p. 437, Hadith 798)
سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه! When this is the excellence of offering ‘Isha Salah with first Takbeer for 40 days, then what will be the status of offering all five Salahs with first Takbeer throughout one’s whole life?
Since we have been instructed to offer Salah with Jama’ah in the Pious Deeds booklet, and Salah with Jama’ah is usually offered in the Masjid, acting upon this Pious Deed in the morning and evening is also a means of attending the Masjid, which itself is a privilege. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Beloved Messenger صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stated:
مَنۡ غَدَا اِلَى الۡمَسۡجِدِ اَوۡ رَاحَ اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهٗ فِي الۡجَنَّةِ نُزُلًا كُلَّمَا غَدَا اَوۡ رَاحَ
