Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Abu Umama ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf said, "Zayd ibn Thabit entered the mosque and found the people in ruku, so he went into ruku and then moved slowly forward until he reached the row".
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “Prayer offered in congregation is twenty-seven times more superior than prayer offered alone” [Sahih Muslim]. This hadith emphasizes how important it is for Muslims to join their prayers together as a community and how much reward they can get from doing so. By joining together for prayer we are reminded of our unity and brotherhood which helps strengthen our faith and connection with Allah SWT.
