Now they all attend to God who is the source of all perfections. The prayer leader is guiding a caravan of hearts towards God. He expresses ultimate humbleness to God on their behalf. He unites the rich and the poor, the employer and the employee, the master and the slave, the black and the white, the informed and the uninformed together through saying the prayers. The Wisdom behind Congregational Prayers The Almighty God has established certain forms of worship to be done in a group.

He has set up a certain time and place to do them, too. He has done so in order for the believers to achieve the blessings and effects of such social activities on their path to perfection. We can name a few of the effects of congregational prayers as follows: When everyone in the congregation moves together in performing the various acts of bowing down, prostrating and sitting down in harmony, the Grandeur and Majesty of the Lord is manifested.

When congregational prayers are performed the might of the Muslims and their majesty and power is demonstrated. When the people follow the prayer leader in their motions and in what they say in prayers, then they will learn to have order and to abide by the rules. When the people pray together in a group several times each day, the social ties and the sense of brotherhood between them is reinforced.

When the people pray together in a group, they will develop a sense of mutual trust that can be used when they are to witness about something or make a deal. Since the congregational prayers are always performed on time, they provide the best chance for one to approach God, and seek His acceptance of prayers. When one participates in the prayer, especially the congregational prayers he abandons the material life and is delved into the spiritual life.

Once he starts the prayer, he leaves everything but God behind, and directs his full attention to God. An important benefit of congregational prayers is that they are a good means of the development of mosques and places of worship. This includes both the physical and spiritual aspects of development. Another important benefit of congregational prayers is that the attendees get to know each other and their ties of friendship are strengthened.

Finally, in the congregational prayers all people of different classes and races get together and stand in one line.
