27. THE SECOND REASON IN THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF GROUP PRAYER

In The Name Of The Compasionate The Mercifull
Lies in the threat, fear, and warning directed by the apostle to those fail to attend the regular group prayers at the Mosque. The Holy Prophet, Peace upon him, said :
" By He Who is beholding my, soul, ti was my intention to order a quantity of wood to be cu, tnstruct the Mu'azin to Call prayers, to assign a man to lead prayers, then to panish the absentees (in the related attribution) by burning their houses". This was confirmed unanimously by Hadits Recorders Our Prophet (God blessed and Offered him Mercy) didi not resort to such threats except o very serious matters.
In the further Hadis related by Aby Darda (God Blessed Him) the Messenger of God (upon whom may be peace) was quoted as having said:
"In a team of every three men in a village, a group prayer should be held no matter how remote, unless they are controlled by Satan. Stick firmly on worship in groups, as the wolf usually hunts goats scattered away in isolation."
Gruop Prayers cocern men alone. As for women, it is better for them to pray at home in order to avoid sexual appeal and attraction to men.
Our prophet advised women as follows :
"Your prayer at your room is beter than that at your people's Mosque, and prayer in your peoples is better than that in a common mosque."
Preference is, therefore, given to the individual prayer af a woman at home.
