Encouragement for pious deed 33

Dear Islamic brothers, the blessed month of Ramadan has commenced. To attain the blessings of this month and spend it performing righteous deeds, affiliate yourselves with the religious environment of Dawat-e-Islami, actively participate in the 12 religious works, travel with the Madani qāfilāhs and act upon pious deeds. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه The blessings of Ramadan are countless. The passion for worship increases in this month. Whether it be the young or old, all turn towards the masjid. To further enhance this passion, act upon pious deed 33 from the 72 pious deeds granted by the renowned spiritual guide and leader of Ahl al-Sunnah, Mawlānā Ilyās ꜤAṭṭār al-Qādirī دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, which is: “Today, have you offered Tahajjud Salah; or in the case of not having slept at night, have you offered salah al-layl?”

Wherever the commanded to offer salah is given in the Quran and Hadith, it refers to offering it with all its farāiḍ and wājibāt. For men, one of the wājib acts is to perform salah in congregation. Hadith are replete with mention of virtues for the one who offers salah in congregation. Let us listen to three sayings of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم for purposes of encouragement in this regard:
